Elliott Murphy - Bittersweet
----------------------------
Album: Lost Generation
[Intro]
   F     C     Dm     Cx2
[Verse 1]
   FLet me tell you about a gCirl I know
Well she's Dmgot palomino strCides
   FAnd when her breakdown in GCeneva came
I was tDmhere right by her sCide
   FAnd I told her Cas she got older
  DmShe wouldn't fall so hCard
   FBut she said that sheC'd keep walking
Cause you kDmnow she knows her stGyle
[Chorus 1]
   FAnd look at mCe
  FSo blind I thCought I could see
  FShe don't want to read no hCistory book
She don't want to prDmove no eventualitAmy
NDmo no eventualitGy
[Verse 2]
   FAnd when she takes me to the gCallery
And we stDmand in the hand of aCrt
   FAnd all I saw was dCeath on those walls
I want to tDmear those paintings apCart
    FAnd it's colder Cas you grow older
  DmYou can't close your eyCes
   FBut she tells me that you gCot to do something
And DmI'm looking for a good disgGuise
[Chorus 2]
   FAnd look at mCe
  FSo blind I thCought I could see
  FShe don't want to read no hCistory book
She don't want to prDmove no eventualitAmy
NDmo no eventualitGy
[Interlude]
   F     C     Dm     Cx2
[Verse 3]
   FAnd maybe later when the sCeasons change
And the dDmice are all rolled oCut
   FThey will say we were gCamblers then
We were yDmoung cause we had no doCubts
  FAnd the ending Cwhen love's just lending
  DmCan't even break her smCile
  FBut like she said you really gCotta do something
DmIf only waiting on a brand new sGtyle
[Chorus 3]
   FAnd look at mCe
  FSo blind I thCought I could see
  FShe don't want to read no hCistory book
She don't want to prDmove no eventualitAmy
NDmo no eventualGity

Elliott Murphy - Bittersweet

----------------------------

Album: Lost Generation

[Intro]

F C Dm C

[Verse 1]

F C

Let me tell you about a girl I know

Dm C

Well she's got palomino strides

F C

And when her breakdown in Geneva came

Dm C

I was there right by her side

F C

And I told her as she got older

Dm C

She wouldn't fall so hard

F C

But she said that she'd keep walking

Dm G

Cause you know she knows her style

[Chorus 1]

F C

And look at me

F C

So blind I thought I could see

F C

She don't want to read no history book

Dm Am

She don't want to prove no eventuality

Dm G

No no eventuality

[Verse 2]

F C

And when she takes me to the gallery

Dm C

And we stand in the hand of art

F C

And all I saw was death on those walls

Dm C

I want to tear those paintings apart

F C

And it's colder as you grow older

Dm C

You can't close your eyes

F C

But she tells me that you got to do something

Dm G

And I'm looking for a good disguise

[Chorus 2]

F C

And look at me

F C

So blind I thought I could see

F C

She don't want to read no history book

Dm Am

She don't want to prove no eventuality

Dm G

No no eventuality

[Interlude]

F C Dm C

[Verse 3]

F C

And maybe later when the seasons change

Dm C

And the dice are all rolled out

F C

They will say we were gamblers then

Dm C

We were young cause we had no doubts

F C

And the ending when love's just lending

Dm C

Can't even break her smile

F C

But like she said you really gotta do something

Dm G

If only waiting on a brand new style

[Chorus 3]

F C

And look at me

F C

So blind I thought I could see

F C

She don't want to read no history book

Dm Am

She don't want to prove no eventuality

Dm G

No no eventuality

[Outro]
