A             B

So hesitation pulled me back

                    A

I'm stronger when I don't attract

                   B

In your eyes I'm a lamb without a rack

                    A

And I am getting confused

      B                       A

I'm a cactus trying to be a canoe



As you pan for ore

               B

In the desert, floored



I say to you



                             F#                 G#m

That I could never imagine a place so beautiful

                        F#     B

I could never steal your gold away.



        E                C#m

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

E                                   C#                                   

(I try to walk like a big wham bam



I came across like a battering ram

E                                   C#

I try to float like a telegram sam



I'm trying to divine you



F#   E    B

                                 F#

My book is called "The Ascent Of Man"

                                   G#m

I marked your chapter with a catamaran



The accent's off

      F#        B

But I am what I am



       E                 C#

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

E                                   C#m

(I try to walk like a big wham bam



I came across like a battering ram

E                                   C#

I try to float like a telegram sam



I'm trying to divine you.)



F#



B  A  D  G  F#  E



B                                   F#

I looked for you, it's my last grandstand

                             G#m

A motorscootered goat legged pan

                   F#   B

Figure eighting in quicksand

 

     E                   C#m

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

E                                  C#m

(I try to walk like a big wham bam



I try to float like a telegram sam

E                                   C#m

I came across like a battering ram



I'm trying to divine you.)

E                                   C#m

(I try to walk like a big wham bam



I try to float like a telegram sam

E                                   C#m

I came across like a battering ram



I'm trying to divine you.)



A                       B

So hesitation pulled me back

                 A

I'm so in love I don't attract

            B                        A

And with my hands tied I won't crack

B

('Cause in my mind I called you back.)
