Album: Three (2009),  standard tuning

Intro      []Through & []Through & []Through

Verse 1
[] I’m the Berlin []Wall, I’m a [] communist
You’re a wrecking []ball in a summer dress []
[]You’re the horizon []line, I’m the last sunset []
[] I might be going down but []I’m not set yet
[]I’m as white as a []ghost, digging foolish [] gold
I will man my []post but I won’t do as I’m [] told
[]I’ve got a purple []heart from a bloody [] war
I can’t take it []anymore, more, more

[B]They say that good things come to those who wait
But if you snooze then you lose
So don’t hesitate

Verse 2    
Outta sight, outta mind, outta luck, outta wine
Don’t you say that I’m out of my fucking mind
I’ve been talking trash but it ain’t my fault
Every time I move somebody’s in my spot

[B]They say that good things come to those who wait
But if you snooze then you lose
So don’t hesitate

Chorus
You’ve []got no[]where to []go
I []know, I []know, I []know
It’s []only []you and []me
But []good things []come in []three

Verse 3    
You be April Stevens, I’ll be April Wine
You be Israel, I will be Palestine
Come on “Teach Me Tiger”, come on and show me tricks
Let me take my time and take a couple lazy licks

[B]They say that good things come to those who wait
But if you snooze then you lose
So don’t hesitate

Chorus   
Are you feeling blue?
Through & through & through
Where we find you now?
Around, around, around

Verse 4    
All the dirty blondes, playing blue-eyed soul
You won’t hear our songs on your radio
Every note we sing can’t be solid gold
Every boy can’t be Romeo

[]They say that good things come to those who wait
But if you snooze then you lose
So don’t hesitate
[]They say that good things come
To those who wait
Good things come
If you take the bait
In a rummage sale
At the Sally Ann!
Everything is cheap
Love should last a life
Or at least a year!
But it lasts a week
I’m the Berlin Wall
And that ain’t all!
I’m a total mess
You’re a wrecking ball
I’m a wrecking ball!
In a summer dress

Chorus   
Are you feeling blue?
Through & through & through
Where we find you now?
Around, around, around

Outro    
All the dirty blondes, playing blue-eyed soul
. . .  songs on your radio
. . .
 I can’t take it []anymore, more, more

Notes: at the end of each verse when playing B (“they say that good things come”), play 
B blues shuffle.
