Lyrics
Tied a String to My Heart
Doug Buche copr 2017
Verse One:
Dm or D G7
You wont hold my hand, say its too hot or too cold.
C C7 A7
Youre the Goldilocks of touch and its really getting old,
F G E7
You gotta a new thing now, you say we cant kiss, cause my moustache is scratchy, D7 to Dto G7
Or Ill smear your lipstick.
Chorus:
C C7 BbM7 Gm6
You were the first one in my life,
Dm G7
to tie a string to my heart and fly it like a kite.
C C7 BbM7 Dm 6th fret
But now your control of me is going to end.
F D7
Im gonna cut myself loose Im going to fly with the wind
5th fret bridge and little finger
And I will be free.free to be me..
Verse Two:
Dm G7
Dont use that toothpick in public, people might see,
C C7 A7
Didnt your parents teach you any courtesy?
F G E7
Seems to me that any, anything that I do, is what makes you
D7
feel you have a rock in your shoe.
Bridge:
C E7
You say I cant sing. You say I cant dance.
A7 G7
Id say you are lacking in the art of romance.
Repeat Chorus and End.
