CAPO 2!!!



INTRO:C'

C'      Dadd4              Em'
Keep it tight against your chest
        C'
This is my time
            Dadd4         Em'
I'd like to see the table turned
           C'
Trade your placemat with mine
               Dadd4            Em'
See if you can still make a ball
         C'      Dadd4 C'
Or maybe eat the apple whole


        Dadd4            Em'
And the furthest I could reach
       C'
Was as close as I had come
    Dadd4      Em'
I'm in over my knees
    C'
And still the only one
                     Dadd4          Em'
Who has to get get a grip on himself
        C'       Dadd4   C'
I could use some outside help


INSTRUMENTAL: G-C?-C'-G X2


D
It's already stale
                  C            G
It's just getting older and my sights
                 C
We're sinking so quick
         G                        C
That the best I could do was jump ship


C'      Dadd4          Em'
Waiting with bad bated breath
        C'
For the winds to change
            Dadd4         Em'
It's just a well worn-out suggestion
   C'
To occupy the day
                Dadd4                Em'
I wished that I knew when I threw it away
             C'        Dadd4        C'
That I could deal with feeling this strange


G      C?        C'     G
But it sounds so similar
   C?                  C'   G
To something that I've done before
     C?            C'          G
So I give myself a slap on the wrist
        C?     C'          D
And you jam my hand in the door


It raises a smile from you
         C
But it's only worth a by-line mention
  Em                      G
A simple footnote from an impractical joke
         C                 G
Couldn't seem to hold your attention

This is my own correction of Impractical Joke by Smudge. John Walbank found 
the lyrics. I guess lyrics and chords are pretty right. If you have any 
corrections (I never saw 'em (playing it) live) you can mail me at 
metalmarco2@hotmail.com

Request for other Smudge or Godstarsongs will always be considered.
