You Said It Was Doomed

You Said it was Doomed by Dan McLaughlin -- a riff of F# to E, back and forth

(F#--E---F#--E….)

You ran naked to the door

Slammed it back in my face

Silly to give me the key to your place

You put on a robe – imitation velvet blue

In the hall I gave you gifts

Hollow kisses came from you

CHORUS:

C

You said it was doomed

F# E F# E

From its inception

C

I finally give you room

F# E F# E

To commit your obsession

I stared at my ceiling for over an hour

The taste in my mouth was so sour

I stumbled around like a stoned circus bear

Till I smashed my TV

Wasn’t sure that I cared

CHORUS

Remember your ride in the burgundy Isuzu?

And all the bad rhymes when I sang of Machu Picchu?

Who was that friend who would call and make you quiver

What were the wishes you threw to the river?

CHORUS
