Tonality
GEmCG
Youʼre sending me tulips, mistaken for lilies,
GEmFD
You give me your lip after punching me silly,
GEmCG
You turned my head till it rolled down the brain drain,
GEmFD
If I had any sense now, I wouldnʼt want it back again.
GBbAmG
New Amsterdam, itʼs become much too much,
GBbAmG
Will I have the possession of everything she touches,
GBbAmG
Till I step on the brake to get out of her clutches?
GBbAmG
Can I speak Double Dutch to a real double duchess?
GEmCG
Down on the mainspring, listen to the tick tock,
GEmFD
Clock all the faces that move in on your block,
GEmCG
Twice shy and dog tired because youʼve been bitten,
GEmFD
Everything you say now sounds like it was ghost written.
GBbAmG
New Amsterdam, itʼs become much too much,
GBbAmG
Will I have the possession of everything she touches,
GBbAmG
Till I step on the brake to get out of her clutches?
GBbAmG
Can I speak Double Dutch to a real double duchess?
E7E7AE7
Like, in London, theyʼll take you to heart after a little while,
E7E7CDCGD
Though I look right at home, I still feel like an exile.
GEmCG
Somehow I found myself down at the dockside,
GEmFD
Thinking about the old days of Liverpool and Rotherhithe,
GEmCG
Transparent people who live on the other side,
GEmFD
Living a life that is almost like suicide,
GBbAmG
New Amsterdam, itʼs become much too much,
GBbAmG
Will I have the possession of everything she touches,
GBbAmG
Till I step on the brake to get out of her clutches?
GBbAmG
Can I speak Double Dutch to a real double duchess?
