French Navy Tabulatur von Camera Obscura (für Baryton)

D  Em 

                        Em  D  
Spent a week in a dusty library
                        D  Em   
Waiting for some words to jump at me
                         Em  D
We met by a trick of fate
                            G
French navy my sailor mate
              D
We met by the moon at the silvery lake
            G
You came my way 
                       D
I said, "I want you to stay"




Em
You with your dietary restrictions
D
Said you loved me with a lot of conviction
Em
I was waiting to be struck by lightning
D                                    G
Waiting for somebody exciting like you
                       D
Oh the thing that you do
                G
You make me go woo
                         D
With the things that you do you do you do



               Em
I wanted to control it
                    G
But love I couldn't hold it
               Em
I wanted to control it
                    G     A
But love I couldn't hold it


 

Em
I'll be criticized for lending out my art
D
I was criticized for letting you break my heart
Em
Why wouldn't I stand for disappointed looks?
D                                G                    D
I'm fully grown but I'm on tenterhooks with the looks
         G                    D
On tenterhooks, ooh, with the looks the looks the looks


 

               Em
I wanted to control it
                    G
But love I couldn't hold it
               Em
I wanted to control it
                    G     A
But love I couldn't hold it

 

Em - D (repeat)




Em                                     Em  D
Relationships were something I used to do
                                       D  Em
Convince me they are better for me and you
                         Em  D
We met by a trick of fate
                       
French navy my sailor mate


[chorus]

               Em
I wanted to control it
                    G
But love I couldn't hold it
               Em
I wanted to control it
                    G
But love I couldn't hold it
               Em
I wanted to control it
                    G
But love I couldn't hold it
               Em
I wanted to control it
                    G     A
But love I couldn't hold it


 

Em D (repeat and fade)
