The Turtle And The Monkey

C

[Verse]

       C                          F            C
I’m a lamb if you love me, but a lion if you poke
              C
And if we’re gonna be laughing
         F                   C
I would like to be in on the joke
              F                 G
Sometimes I think you show me scabs
                     C
Just to tempt me to tear ‘em away
        F                         G            C
Making me draw blood will never make me wanna stay


[Chorus]
    F   G                 C
Oh, oh, oh it’s sad but true
          F
Love is never enough
           G                        C
And after just a few months we are not immune
    F    G
Oh, oh, oh we used to stay up late
 C                G       F
Staring in each other’s eyes
          C              G                C
Now I’m waking early to call you up and apologize

[Verse]

        C                   F             C
I’m a turtle in the woods sticking to my path
               C
You’re like a monkey in the trees
  F                      C
Jumping from branch to branch
            F
I love the way you move
            G                 C
I love the way you rock and roll
           F                       G                C
But high jumping for a turtle is bound to take its toll


[Chorus]
    F   G                 C
Oh, oh, oh it’s sad but true
          F
Love is never enough
           G                        C
And after just a few months we are not immune
    F    G
Oh, oh, oh we used to stay up late
 C                G       F
Staring in each other’s eyes
          C              G                C
Now I’m waking early to call you up and apologize

[End Chorus]

    F    G                   C
And oh, oh it’s a cold hard fact
                  F                   G
We’ve said some colorful vocabulary, baby
                    C
That we can’t take back
    F    G                             C
And oh, oh we used to hold each other tight
           G         F
Under the sparkling trees
     F  G                             C
And oh, oh now you’re begging for me back
           G         F
On your scraped up knees
    F   G
And oh, oh we used to spend all night
   C              G       F
Staring in each other’s eyes
           C              G                C
Now I’m waking early to call you up and apologize
