I Can Tell

C    G7

[Verse 1]
C
Whatever news you had
E
Whatever shoes you had
A        Am
Whatever made you mad enough
C7
On the promenade you can
F
Give it a rest
Dm
Give it a seat
Bb                                   G N.C.
Or in the glass you can cut your feet

[Verse 2]
C
Part of me
E
Flesh torn
Am
And everything else seems
C7
A little worse for worn
F                    Fm
A simple thing, I admit
C                 G
Out I never did figure it

[Chorus]
      Am              E7
I can tell that I'm about to
      Dm         F      C/G  G
I can tell when I'm without you

[Verse 3]
C
I've seen you juggle
E
I've seen your best
Am                               C7
I've seen you running out of luck you pressed
F                               Dm
I've seen the scores on how far up you 'fessed
         Bb7                  G7                 C
Until a thinner air is what you're breathing now

[Verse 4]

So catch your breath
Am
Don't just stand there holding it
C7
I've seen you die a little death
F                        Fm
I'm pretty sure you were here
C                           G
But lately things tend to disappear
         Am                 E7
Like the days I never got around to

[Chorus]
      Dm        F       C/G  G
I can tell when I'm without you
      Am        F       C/G  G
I can tell when I'm without you

[Verse 5]
C
    Psychic on the corner
E                                Am
'Palms and Runes, Tarot and Tea'
                            C7
The proprietor gives matches      to the girls in line
         F                             Fm
For Club Diplomacy, but he's not on to me
C                          G
Crossed Olympic to collect my fee
            Am                         E7
But there's no one in this neighborhood who

[Chorus]
      Am            F   Dm
I can tell when I'm without you
G     Am            F   C/G  G
I can tell when I'm without you
      Dm            F   C/G  G
I can tell when I'm without you
