The Nurse

The nurse should not be the one who puts salt in your wounds
G
C
Dm
G
But it's always with trust that the poison is fed with a spoon
Bb
Eb
D
G
When you're helpless with no one to turn to alone in your room You would swear that the one who would care for you never would leave She promised and said, you will always be safe here with me But promises open the door to be broken to me
G
No I'm never, no I'm never, no I'm never gonna let you down now No I'm never, no I'm never, no I'm never gonna let you down No I'm never, no I'm never, no I'm never gonna let you down now No I'm never, no I'm never, no I'm never gonna let you down

 The maid that you've hired could never conspire to kill She's to mother, not quietly smother you when you're most ill The one that you're trusting suspiciously dusting the sill
G
No I'm never, no I'm never, no I'm never gonna let you down now No I'm never, no I'm never, no I'm never gonna let you down No I'm never, no I'm never, no I'm never gonna let you down now No I'm never, no I'm never, no I'm never gonna let you down

Forever For Her (Is Over For Me)

Capo:
I
E
A
B
E
I blew it, and if I knew what to do then I'd do it
D
A
E
But the point that I have, I'll get to it
A
B
E
Forever for her is over for me Forever just a word that she said that means never To be with another together And with the weight of a feather it tore into me Then I knew it and all the work that it took to get through it On a wings of a feather that flew it Fell under my shoe and caught up into me
B
A
E
Well everybody's reaction is changing you
B
A
B
But their love is only a fraction of what I can give to you So let's do it, just get on a plane and just do it Like the birds and the bees and get to it Just get out of town and forever be free Forever, I wonder we could stay together It could change if you want for the better Just turn down my shirt and lay down next to me
Repeat the whole thing, except the third verse

Little Ghost

Capo:
II
G
C
G
Little ghost, little ghost, one I'm scared of the most
G
D
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
G
C
G
I'm the only one that sees you, and I can't do much to please you
D
G
And it's not yet time to meet the Lord above
G
C
G
The first moment that I met her, I did not expect a spectre
G
D
When I shook her hand I really shook a glove
G
C
G
She looked into me so sweetly and we left the room discreetly
G
D
G
No one else could know the secret of our love Little ghost, little ghost, one I'm scared of the most Can you scare me up a little bit of love? I'm the only one that sees you, and I can't do much to please you And it's not yet time to meet the Lord above Every morning I awoke and I see my little ghost Wonderin' if it's really her that's lying there I lean to touch her and I whisper, but not brave enough to kiss her When I held her I was really holding air Little ghost, little ghost, one I'm scared of the most Can you scare me up a little bit of love? I'm the only one that sees you, and I can't do much to please you And it's not yet time to meet the Lord above Though I try my best to keep it, there really was no secret Must have looked like I was dancing with the wall No one else could see this apparition, but because of my condition I fell in love with a little ghost and that was all Little ghost, little ghost, one I'm scared of the most Can you scare me up a little bit of love? I'm the only one that sees you, and I can't do much to please you And it's not yet time to meet the Lord above
G
D

No, it's not yet time to meet the Lord above

The Denial Twist

C
Eb
If you think that a kiss is all in the lips
Bb
C
C'mon, you got it all wrong man
C
Eb
And if you think that our dance was all in the hips
Bb
C
Oh well, then do the twist If you think holding hands is all in the fingers Grab hold of the soul where the memory lingers And make sure to never do it with a singer 'Cause he'll tell everyone in the world
Eb
Bb
C
But he was thinking about the girl
Eb
Bb
C
Yeah, but he's thinking about the girl, oh A lot of people get confused and they bruise Real easy when it comes to love They start putting on their shoes and walking out And singing "boy, I think I had enough" Just because she makes a big rumpus She don't mean to be mean or hurt you on purpose, boy Take a tip and do yourself a little service Take a mountain, turn it into a mole Just by playin' a different role Yeah, by playin' a different role, oh
G
The boat yeah you know she's rockin' it
Bb
C
And the truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it
G
The boat yeah you know she's rockin' it
Bb
C
And the truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it So what, somebody left you in a rut And wants to be the one who's in control But the feeling that you're under can really make you wonder How the hell she can be so cold So now you're left, denying the truth And it's hidden in the wisdom in the back of your tooth You need to spit it out in a telephone booth While you call everyone that you know, and ask 'em Where do you think she goes? Oh yeah, where d'ya suppose she goes? The truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it And, the boat yeah you know she's still rockin' it The boat well ya know there's no rockin' it And the truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it You recognize the effect and the wreck That it's causing when she rocks the boat Well it's the cause hitting on the cardinal Laws 'Bout the proper place to hang her coat So to you, the truth is still hidden And the soul plays the role of a lost little kitten but You should know that the doctors weren't kidding She's been singing it all along But you were hearin' a different song Yeah, you were hearin' a different song But you were hearin' a different song

Can you believe some things are not Appealing and there's a spot On the ceiling of my childhood bedroom And can these dreams you can't imagine Will never match the vision That you had decided for me You are to take away from me Things that are mine and it's not your right Out that you'd wouldn't expect to find out Can it be that I don't want what you want? And the only thing I could care for Is a place in a home that is safe and warm Safe and warm, safe and warm, safe and warm
