Vienna Teng – Stray Italian Greyhound (Inland Territory 2009)
Now this is a really crazy song. I guess I figured the basic chords and it works well
this way, but always happy for some genius to correct and improve. Guess that song 
deserves better ;)
[Verse 1]
Oh no, not nBow, please not now
I just settled iEnto the glass half empty
Made myself at home
And so why nBow, please not now
I just stopped belEieving in happy endings
Harbors of my own
[Pre-chorus 1]
   C#mBut you had to come along, didn’t you
F#Tear down the doors, throw open windows
C#mOh, if you knew jC#m7ust what a fool you have mF#ade me
So Bwhat do F#I do with tEhis?
[Chorus 1]
(E)                F#  
This stray Italian greyhound
These inconvenient G#mfireworks
This ice-cream-covered screaming hypeF#ractive thoEught
God, I just want to F#lay down
These colors make my G#meyes hurt
This feeling calls for everything that F#I am
  BNot
[Verse 2]
I’m not that kBind
I’m so good at Eshooting down any notion
This tired world could change
It’s all been Bbought
Well, at least that was my line
No use in Espending all that emotion
When there’s someone else to blame
[Pre-chorus 2]
   C#mBut you had to come along, didn’t you
F#Rev up the crowd, rewrite the rule book
C#mWhere do I go when every "no" turns into "F#maybe"
So Bwhat do F#I do with tEhis?
[Chorus 2]
(E)                  F#  
This sudden burst of sunlight
And me with my umG#mbrella
Cross-indexing every weatherF#man’s repoErt
Was ready for the F#downslide
But not for spring to G#mwell up
This feeling calls for everything I F#can’t afEford
To kF#now
Is Epossible now
[Bridge]
C#mWhat do I Bdo, do F#I do
With a love that C#mwon’t, that Bwon’t sit sF#till
Won’t do what it’s C#mtold
What do I Bdo, do I F#do
With a C#mlove that wG#mon’t sit sF#till
