Tight Connection To My Heart (Has Anybody Seen My Love?)

Well, I had to move fast and I couldn't with you around my neck
F#m
D
I said I'd send for you and I did, what did you expect?
A
C#m
D
My hands are sweating and we haven't even started yet I'll go along with this charade until I can think my way out I know it was all a big joke, whatever it was about Someday, maybe, I'll remember to forget
Bm
I'm gonna get my coat, I feel the breath of a storm
E
There's something I've got to do tonight, you go inside and stay warm
A

Has anybody seen my love? Has anybody seen my love? Has anybody seen my love?

I don't know, has anybody seen my love? You want to talk to me? Go ahead and talk Whatever you got to say to me won't come as any shock I must be guilty of something, you just whisper it into my ear Madame Butterfly, she lulled me to sleep In a town without pity where the water runs deep She said, "Be easy, baby, there ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here" You're the one I've been looking for, you're the one that's got the key But I can't figure out whether I'm too good for you or you're too good for me Has anybody seen my love? Has anybody seen my love? Has anybody seen my love? I don't know, has anybody seen my love? Well, they're not showing any lights tonight and there's no moon There's just a hot-blooded singer singing "Memphis in June" While they're beatin' the devil out of a guy who's wearing a powder-blue wig Later he'll be shot for resisting arrest I can still hear his voice crying in the wilderness What looks large from a distance close up ain't never that big Never could learn to drink that blood and call it wine Never could learn to hold you, love, and call you mine Has anybody seen my love? Has anybody seen my love? Has anybody seen my love? I don't know, has anybody seen my love?

A
D
And I'm seeing the real you at last Well, I risked my neck for you Didn't I take chances? Didn't I rise above all The most unfortunate circumstances? Well, I have had some rotten nights Didn't think that they would pass I'm just thankful and grateful To be seeing the real you at last I'm hungry and I'm irritable And I'm tired of this bag of tricks At one time there was nothing wrong with me That you could not fix Well, I sailed through the storm Strapped to the mast But the time has come And I'm seeing the real you at last When I met you, baby You didn't show no visible scars You could ride like Annie Oakley You could shoot like Belle Starr Well, I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble Trouble always comes to pass But all I care about now Is that I'm seeing the real you at last Well, I'm gonna quit this baby talk now I guess I should have known I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone Whatever you gonna do Please do it fast I'm still trying to get used to Seeing the real you at last Oh yes I am!

Clean Cut Kid

D7
Everybody's asking why he couldn't adjust Adjust to what, a dream that bust?
A
He was a clean-cut kid
D7
But they made a killer out of him That's what they did They said what's up is down, they said what isn't is They put ideas in his head that he thought were his He was a clean-cut kid But they made a killer out of him That's what they did He was on the baseball team, he was in the marching band When he was ten years old he had a watermelon stand He was a clean-cut kid But they made a killer out of him That's what they did He went to church on Sunday, he was a Boy Scout For his friends he would turn his pockets inside out He was a clean-cut kid But they made a killer out of him That's what they did
G
They said, "Listen boy, you're just a pup"
D7
They sent him to a napalm health spa to shape up
E
They gave him dope to smoke, drinks and pills
A
A jeep to drive, blood to spill They said "Congratulations, you got what it takes" They sent him back into the rat race without any brakes He was a clean-cut kid But they made a killer out of him That's what they did He bought the American dream but it put him in debt The only game he could play was Russian roulette He drank Coca-Cola, he was eating Wonder Bread Ate Burger Kings, he was well fed He went to Hollywood to see Peter O'Toole He stole a Rolls Royce and drove it in a swimming pool They took a clean-cut kid And they made a killer out of him That's what they did He could've sold insurance, owned a restaurant or bar Could've been an accountant or a tennis star He was wearing boxing gloves, took a dive one day Off the Golden Gate Bridge into China Bay His mama walks the floor, his daddy weeps and moans They gotta sleep together in a home they don't own They took a clean-cut kid And they made a killer out of him That's what they did Well, everybody's asking why he couldn't adjust All he ever wanted was somebody to trust They took his head and turned it inside out He never did know what it was all about He had a steady job, he joined the choir He never did plan to walk the high wire They took a clean-cut kid And they made a killer out of him That's what they did

When the night comes falling from the sky I can see through your walls and I know you're hurting Sorrow covers you up like a cape Only yesterday I know that you've been flirting With disaster that you managed to escape I can't provide for you no easy answers Who are you that I should have to lie? You'll know all about it, love It'll fit you like a glove When the night comes falling from the sky I can hear your trembling heart beat like a river You must have been protecting someone last time I called I've never asked you for nothing you couldn't deliver I've never asked you to set yourself up for a fall I saw thousands who could have overcome the darkness For the love of a lousy buck, I've watched them die Stick around, baby, we're not through Don't look for me, I'll see you When the night comes falling from the sky In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection It was on the northern border of Texas where I crossed the line I don't want to be a fool starving for affection I don't want to drown in someone else's wine For all eternity I think I will remember That icy wind that's howling in your eye You will seek me and you'll find me In the wasteland of your mind When the night comes falling from the sky Well, I sent you my feelings in a letter But you were gambling for support This time tomorrow I'll know you better When my memory is not so short This time I'm asking for freedom From a world which you deny And you'll give it to me now I'll take it anyhow When the night comes falling from the sky

Something's Burning Baby

A

Something is burning, baby, are you aware?
E
A
E
Something is the matter, baby, there's smoke in your hair
E
A
E
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
E
A
E
Is the love in your heart for me turning blind? You've been avoiding the main streets for a long, long while The truth that I'm seeking is in your missing file What's your position, baby, what's going on? Why is the light in your eyes nearly gone? I know everything about this place, or so it seems Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams? Well, it is so obvious that something has changed What's happening, baby, to make you act so strange? Something is burning, baby, here's what I say Even the bloodhounds of London couldn't find you today I see the shadow of a man, baby, makin' you blue Who is he, baby, and what's he to you? We've reached the edge of the road, baby, where the pasture begins Where charity is supposed to cover up a multitude of sins But where do you live, baby, and where is the light? Why are your eyes just staring off in the night?
E
A
E
I can feel it in the night, in the night, in the night when I think of you
E
A
E
I can feel it in the light, in the light, in the light and it's got to be true
E
A
E
You can't live by bread alone, you won't be satisfied
E
A
E
You can't roll away the stone if your hands are tied Got to start someplace, baby, can you explain? Please don't fade away on me, baby, like the midnight train Answer me, baby, a casual look will do Just what in the world has come over you? I can feel it in the wind, in the wind, in the wind and it's upside down I can feel it in the dust as I get off the bus on the outskirts of town I've had the Mexico City blues since the last hairpin curve I don't wanna see you bleed, I know what you need But it ain't what you deserve Something is burning, baby, something's in flames There's a man going round calling names Ring down when you're ready, baby, I'm waiting for you I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
