Album: Three (2009), standard tuning
Intro []Through & []Through & []Through
Verse 1
[] Iâm the Berlin []Wall, Iâm a [] communist
Youâre a wrecking []ball in a summer dress []
[]Youâre the horizon []line, Iâm the last sunset []
[] I might be going down but []Iâm not set yet
[]Iâm as white as a []ghost, digging foolish [] gold
I will man my []post but I wonât do as Iâm [] told
[]Iâve got a purple []heart from a bloody [] war
I canât take it []anymore, more, more
[B]They say that good things come to those who wait
But if you snooze then you lose
So donât hesitate
Verse 2
Outta sight, outta mind, outta luck, outta wine
Donât you say that Iâm out of my ing mind
Iâve been talking trash but it ainât my fault
Every time I move somebodyâs in my spot
[B]They say that good things come to those who wait
But if you snooze then you lose
So donât hesitate
Chorus
Youâve []got no[]where to []go
I []know, I []know, I []know
Itâs []only []you and []me
But []good things []come in []three
Verse 3
You be April Stevens, Iâll be April Wine
You be Israel, I will be Palestine
Come on âTeach Me Tigerâ, come on and show me tricks
Let me take my time and take a couple lazy licks
[B]They say that good things come to those who wait
But if you snooze then you lose
So donât hesitate
Chorus
Are you feeling blue?
Through & through & through
Where we find you now?
Around, around, around
Verse 4
All the dirty blondes, playing blue-eyed soul
You wonât hear our songs on your radio
Every note we sing canât be solid gold
Every boy canât be Romeo
[]They say that good things come to those who wait
But if you snooze then you lose
So donât hesitate
[]They say that good things come
To those who wait
Good things come
If you take the bait
In a rummage sale
At the Sally Ann!
Everything is cheap
Love should last a life
Or at least a year!
But it lasts a week
Iâm the Berlin Wall
And that ainât all!
Iâm a total mess
Youâre a wrecking ball
Iâm a wrecking ball!
In a summer dress
Chorus
Are you feeling blue?
Through & through & through
Where we find you now?
Around, around, around
Outro
All the dirty blondes, playing blue-eyed soul
. . . songs on your radio
. . .
I canât take it []anymore, more, more
Notes: at the end of each verse when playing B (âthey say that good things comeâ), play
