----------------------------------------------- Tanita Tikaram - We Almost Got it Together ----------------------------------------------- C G We almost got it together Am F And I'll be your favourite thing C G Oh stand by the river with hard-luck eyes Am F And I'll just be open and sing C G And if I was telling you stories Am F I was only trying to surprise C F I wish I was like the frog princess G | C F C G | And I'd never tell you lies C G And down by the soil of the hard life Am F Oh they like to greet us with smiles C G They like to tell us their good hostess Am F Has travelled a million miles C G But you'd like it written closer Am F Yes, you'd like it written pure C F If I told you this, would you miss my kiss G | C F C G | Would you come right back for more Am F Oh, I'd like to be, what I wanna be C G But you want to carry on Am F But you need to take, what you have to take G | C F C G | But I'd still be here when you're gone C G And there's a light by your window Am F And I'd like to capture you by there C G And I'd like to hold you for all to see Am F But they don't really care C G And if I said you're no peccadillo Am F Yes, I said you're a major thing C F Would you stand by me, at the corner dock G | C F C G | And say, "Yes, this girl is the swing!" Am F Oh, I'd like to be, what I wanna be C G But you want to carry on Am F But you need to take, what you have to take G | C F C G | But I'd still be here when you're gone Am F And I'd like another cue C G That's why I strain to see Am F And I'd like the best in you G | C F C G | Cause you write the best in me C G And everybody was swinging Am F Oh swooning to the heart in me C G Oh they were sure that I'd be burning, yes Am F So their tart swerve to here might be C G But if I said "you're gold, inside, yes?" Am F And if you were true to me C F Would you hang around with that creepy smile G | C F C G | Crawl home back to me Am F Oh, I'd like to be, what I wanna be C G But you want to carry on Am F But you need to take, what you have to take G | C F C G | But I'd still be here when you're gone
