Song: L.I.E.
Album: Charades (2004)
This should be pretty close and playable. I think the guitar 
is tuned a  half-fret lower on the recording. It might also 
be a little out of tune.
Capo 3rd fret (or whatever)
Strum C
I'll Fnever grasp
Your Gmother's life you G7oughta found in Cphotographs.
I'll never stay
Too insecure, to breathe dust, and to run away.
Fly, fly, fly, so high, the geese fly south
To steal the kiss upon your scared little winter mouth.
FGive to me your Amsoul,
FGive to me Call the Gfishes Amin your Gwishin' Fbowl,
Then Ggo.
I'm gettin' to Fknow you girl..
I've seen you with your Gglasses on,
I've seen you in your G7daddy's arms,
I've seen you Cdrive a car.
I'm gettin' to love you more
With each day gone by,
With each wish upon a shooting star,
I wish for your love.
I'm freakin' out.
I run my mouth
My life's a series of circles.
Brooklyn queens, Manhattan dreams
And trips out to the autumn.
Your big brown eyes go searchin' me,
I want those eyes a-smilin'.
And you can Fleave, you can Ggo.
Honey, you're a Cfool to think that I won't Ffollow.
And I'm not a poet and I'm not a clown.
I just think these things and then I write them down.
Spin, spin, spin, it 'round again.
Darlin', if you change, I'm still your friend.
Spin, spin, spin, it 'round the world,
You're the sun, the stars, the oceans
You're just a girl.
Spin, spin, spin it 'round the moon
I'll be singin' with my modest lover's croon.

Capo 3rd fret (or whatever)

Strum C

I'll never grasp

G G7 C

Your mother's life you oughta found in photographs.

I'll never stay

Too insecure, to breathe dust, and to run away.

Fly, fly, fly, so high, the geese fly south

To steal the kiss upon your scared little winter mouth.

F Am

Give to me your soul,

F C G Am G F

Give to me all the fishes in your wishin' bowl,

Then go.

I'm gettin' to know you girl..

I've seen you with your glasses on,

I've seen you in your daddy's arms,

I've seen you drive a car.

I'm gettin' to love you more

With each day gone by,

With each wish upon a shooting star,

I wish for your love.

I'm freakin' out.

I run my mouth

My life's a series of circles.

Brooklyn queens, Manhattan dreams

And trips out to the autumn.

Your big brown eyes go searchin' me,

I want those eyes a-smilin'.

F G

And you can leave, you can go.

C F

Honey, you're a fool to think that I won't follow.

And I'm not a poet and I'm not a clown.

I just think these things and then I write them down.

Spin, spin, spin, it 'round again.

Darlin', if you change, I'm still your friend.

Spin, spin, spin, it 'round the world,

You're the sun, the stars, the oceans

You're just a girl.

Spin, spin, spin it 'round the moon

I'll be singin' with my modest lover's croon.
