VERSE 1
********
  G       A                   D
I cannot stop this child from touching me
G         A                     D
 I see no fault in watching her bloom
G                 A                     D
 She knows where fire begins and where sparks might fly
Em      A                  D
 Yet I feel she may be consumed.
G          A           D
 She done turns on the B stage
G          A              D
She shook hands when the shoe fit
G         A             D
I wanna know how the land lies
C                       D     D A G
 I'll let you in on a secret

VERSE 2
********
  G       A                    D
I did not steal away when love rode by
G         A             D
I did not let myself be unkind
G               A                    D
It's so hard to say where love meets lust
Em      A                   D
I often think I'm losing my mind.
G       A                    D
I trade notes with the press league
G         A          D
They send back their suggestions
G         A            D
I wanna know where I come from
C                       D     D A G
But all I get are directions.

CHORUS
*******
             Bm                  Em           D
I can't get started, can't get going What's wrong?
     Bm                 Em                   D
Big ideas, the fine intentions They're all gone
D                         C                            D
It takes two flagons of courage Pounds, shillings and pence
D                   C           D             D A G
You wind up going nowhere   It doesn't make sense.

VERSE 3

  G       A                       D
I see my brother's face grow dark with care
G          A                 D
I spend my time avoiding his gaze
G               A                          D
I pray that God might make his dreams come true
Em          A                      D
I'd give so much to feel he's been saved.
G        A               D
A bright spark in the playground
G    A          D
Dead loss as an anchor
G         A         D
You don't call him a misfit
C                      D     D A G
He's just stuck for an answer.
