Cross-Eyed Bear - by Damien Rice

Capo on 5th fret

Chords:
          355340

Like most of Damo's stuff, there are a lot of hammer-ons in the song on the
G string for G chords and on the D string for C and D chords.  Also, here's
the gist of how he plays the lead, relative to the capo obviously:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----4-5-7-7-----7/9-7-5-7-----7/9-7-5-4-2-0--------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------|


Verse 1:
                                 
I broke your doll,             
                                                    
It was cross eyed, that's all,
                                    
I only wanted it to help it see straight,
                     
But like a half broken moon,

Sooner than soon,

I was up on your wall,

Smaller than small,

In a half painted frame,

The wood wouldn't stain,

And I hope that reminds you, 
                                                               
Of the part you couldn't change in me,
                                

Chorus:
                                         
If you push me I'll fall,
                                            
If you pull me I'll drown,
                                                         
If you're gonna be nailin' me down,

             
I won't rise again


Verse 2:

I scratched your car,
Where the bird left a stain,
But I only wanted to help you see straight,
But like a half broken moon,
Sooner than soon,
I was up on your wall,
Smaller than small,
In a half painted frame, 
Where the wood wouldn't stain,
And I hope that reminds you, 
Of the part you couldn't change in me,


Chorus:

If you push me I'll fall,
If you pull me I'll drown,
If you're gonna be nailin' me down,
I won't rise again
I won't rise again


Outro:
          
I'm not God, I'm not God,
I love you but I'm not God...
