10 Steps Behind

C C

Am F

C C

Am F

It’s hot as hell

The sun beats down

While we’re waiting for gelato

 in a brutal crowd

He makes you walk

 Ten steps behind

 A shadow floating down the street,

 just a pair of eyes

And they’re closed

C C

Am F

Can’t see the sweat

that’s on your skin

While your husband looks through Gucci shades

 Wears white linen

C F

What kind of God forbids you’re seen?

Maybe it’s just a man

who thinks you’re property?

A F

  I’ll never understand the way you live

C G

I want to ask about it and it isn’t innocent

A F

What keeps you covered up?

 Some backwards superstition

 or someone’s idea of love?

Or is it both at once?
