D Em Em D Spent a week in a dusty library D Em Waiting for some words to jump at me Em D We met by a trick of fate G French navy my sailor mate D We met by the moon at the silvery lake G You came my way D I said, "I want you to stay" Em You with your dietary restrictions D Said you loved me with a lot of conviction Em I was waiting to be struck by lightning D G Waiting for somebody exciting like you D Oh the thing that you do G You make me go woo D With the things that you do you do you do Em I wanted to control it G But love I couldn't hold it Em I wanted to control it G A But love I couldn't hold it Em I'll be criticized for lending out my art D I was criticized for letting you break my heart Em Why wouldn't I stand for disappointed looks? D G D I'm fully grown but I'm on tenterhooks with the looks G D On tenterhooks, ooh, with the looks the looks the looks Em I wanted to control it G But love I couldn't hold it Em I wanted to control it G A But love I couldn't hold it Em - D (repeat) Em Em D Relationships were something I used to do D Em Convince me they are better for me and you Em D We met by a trick of fate French navy my sailor mate [chorus] Em I wanted to control it G But love I couldn't hold it Em I wanted to control it G But love I couldn't hold it Em I wanted to control it G But love I couldn't hold it Em I wanted to control it G A But love I couldn't hold it Em D (repeat and fade)
