Tanita Tikaram - I Owe All To You
(From the Sweet Keeper, 1990)
[C]Tell Ma, she's a [F]stonebreaker
[C]Tell her there are [G]no takers
[C]For a heart like [F]this will [f]always be
[C]Chaste at first, then [G]left for me
[C]And though your [F]pallor shows instinct
[C]And all our lives are [G]worth
[C]That stint you did with that [F]man of mine
[C]But lady-luck, her [G]needs divine
'Cos I'm [C]courted by the [F]mourning sun y'know
[C]We shine all the [G]picture palace shows
[C]They used to [F]make you feel so real
[C]But now you go [G]trickling
'Til you [C]steal a moment [F]by yourself
When the [C]people don't come and [G]need your help
When the [C]people don't come with [F]pseudo sight
To [C]tell you how to [G]live your life
Now can you [C]live your life with this [F]life of mine
See I'm [C]feeling guilty and I [G]need some time
To ex[c]plain the things that I [F]gotta do
[G]'Cos more or less
[F]I owe all to [C]you [F] [C] [G]
[C]Tell all to a [F]sweet keeper
[C]As you sit and you're [G]much deeper
In [C]debt it's always [F]nice to be
[C]With the closest like the [G]family
[C] And when you hit on a [F]great line y'know
[C] And when you think you've [G]opened up your soul
[c] But every girl who's [F]counting the day
[C] Isn't cold - but she [G]just needs to say
'Cos I'm [C]courted by the [F]mourning sun y'know
[C] We shine all the [G]picture palace shows
[C] They used to [F]make you feel so real
[C] But now you go [G]trickling
'Til you [C]steal a moment [F]by yourself
When the [C]people don't come and [G]need your help
When the [C]people don't come with [F]pseudo sight
To [C]tell you how to [G]live your life
Now can you [C]live your life with this [F]life of mine
See I'm [C]feeling guilty and I [G]need some time
To ex[c]plain the things that I [F]gotta do
[G]'Cos more or less
[F]I owe all to [C]you [F] [C] [G]
[F] And hiding in the [C]lost country
[F] I know I [C]gotta way to go
[F] And though you [C]still may find me
[F] At least my garden [G]grows
'Cos I'm [C]courted by the [F]mourning sun y'know
[C] We shine all the [G]picture palace shows
[C] They used to [F]make you feel so real
[C] But now you go [G]trickling
'Til you [C]steal a moment [F]by yourself
When the [C]people don't come and [G]need your help
When the [C]people don't come with [F]pseudo sight
To [C]tell you how to [G]live your life
Now can you [C]live your life with this [F]life of mine
See I'm [C]feeling guilty and I [G]need some time
To ex[c]plain the things that I [F]gotta do
[G]'Cos more or less
[F]I owe all to [C]you [F] [C] [G]
