Humpty Dumpty Tab

by Aimee Mann


 It's so hard to find Aimee Mann tabs on the net so I thought I'd tab one of her
songs of her last album. This is a great song called "humpty dumpty" and it's
track 1 of Aimee's "lost in space" LP.

Lyrics - 

Verse 1:
         say you were split you were split in fragments
         and none of the pieces will talk to you
         wouldn't you want to be who you haven't 
         well maybe I want that too

Chorus:
         better take the keys and drive forever
         staying won't put these futures back together
         all the perfect drugs and super heroes
         wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero

Verse 2:
         baby you're great, you've been more than patient
         pretending it's not a catastrophe
         but I'm not the girl you once put your faith in
         just someone who looks like me

 repeat chorus

Bridge:
         so get out while you can
         get out while you can cos baby I'm pouring quick sand
         and sinking is all I had planned so better just go

Solo

 repeat chorus

Outro:
         all the king's horses and all the king's men
         couldn't put baby together again (repeat)



 There we are, hope you enjoy!
