Twist in my Sobriety

Tanita Tikaram

Fmi                   Bbmi 
All God´s children need traveling shoes 
C                       Fmi 
Drive your problems from here 
Fmi            Bbmi 
All good people read good books 
C                     Fmi 
Now your conscience is clear 
 
I hear you talk girl 
C                     Fmi 
Now your conscience is clear 
 
Fmi                  Bbmi 
In the morning when I wipe my brow 
C              Fmi 
Wipe the miles away 
Fmi                   Bbmi 
I´d like to think I can be so willed 
C                   Fmi 
And never do what you say 
 
I´ll never hear you 
C                    Fmi 
And never do what you say 
 
  Fmi      C               Fmi 
  Look my eyes are just holograms 
           C                         Fmi 
  Look your love has drawn red from my hands 
        Bbmi                        Fmi 
  From my hands you know you´ll never be 
            C               Fmi 
  More than twist in my sobriety  3x /Bbmi  C  Fmi/ 
 
Fmi                   Bbmi 
We just poked a little empty pie 
C                    Fmi 
For the fun the people had at night 
Fmi                       Bbmi 
Late at night don´t need hostility 
C              Fmi 
Timid smile and pause to free 
Fmi                    Bbmi 
I don´t care about their different thoughts 
C                     Fmi 
Different thoughts are good for me 
Fmi              Bbmi 
Up in arms and chaste the whole 
C                  Fmi 
All God´s children took their toll 
 
Chorus: 
Fmi             Bbmi 
Cup of tea take time to think yeah 
Fmi            Bbmi 
Time to risk a life for life for life 
Fmi               Bbmi 
Sweet and handsome, soft and porky 
    C                          Fmi 
You pig out till you´ve seen the light 
C                         Fmi 
Pig out till you´ve seen the light 
 
Fmi              Bbmi 
Half the people read the papers 
C                 Fmi 
Read them good and well 
Fmi          Bbmi 
Pretty people Nervous people 
Fmi               Fmi 
People have got to sell 
    C               Fmi 
The news you have to sell
