Timmins and The Cowboy Junkies, from the album Caution Horses submitted and transcribed in June 1998 by Brent Wood, bwood@artcenter.edu G C It's the kinda night that's so cold that your spit G freezes before it hits the ground. G C And when a bum asks for a quarter, you give a dollar, C D 'cuz if he's out tonight, he must be truly down. C And I'm searchin' all the windows for a last minute present Am to prove to you that what I said was real... D C For something small and frail and plastic, baby G Cause cheap is how I feel. G C Half a moon in the sky tonight- not enough G to come up with an answer C to the question why is it that every time I see you G my love grows a little stronger. C But your memory leaves my stomach turning, D feeling like a liar about to be revealed... Am C But I hoard all this to myself, G Cause cheap is how I feel. (guitar solo) G C It's not the smell in here that really gets to me, it's the lights- G How I hate the shadows that they cast. G C And the sound of clinking bottles is the one sure thing D I'll always drag with me from my past. C I think I'll find a pair of eyes tonight to fall into Am and maybe strike a deal: D C Your body for my soul, face swap, G Cause cheap is how I feel. Keep on playing, gang.
