G# Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness Yeah, I'll find a way to cure the pain If I said that you're my friend and our love would never end How long before I had your trust again? I opened up the doors when it was cold outside Hoping that you'd find your own way in But how can I protect you, or try not to neglect you When you won't take the love I have to give? Fm I bought me an illusion G# And I put it on the wall Fm I let it fill my head with dreams G# And I had to have them all Fm F# F D# But, oh, the taste is never so sweet As what you'd believe it is Well, I guess it never is F# F D# It's these prejudiced illusions That pump the blood F# G# To the heart of the biz G# You know I never thought That it could take so long You know I never knew how to be strong Yeah, I let you shape me But I fell as thought you raped me 'Cause you climbed inside my world And in my songs So now I've closed the dorr To keep the cold outside Seems somehow I've found the will to live But how can I forget you Or try not to reject you G# C# When we both know it takes time to forgive F# G# G F# Sweetness is a virtue F E D# D C# B And you lost your virtue long ago G# G F# F You know I'd like to hurt you E D# D C# B But my conscience always tells me no G# G F# F You could sell your body on the street E D# D C# To anyone whom you might meet B G# G F# F Who'd love to try and get inside E D# C# B And bust your innocence open wide Chorus: G# 'Cause my baby's got a locomotive My baby's gone off the track My baby's got a locomotive G# Gotta peel the bitch off my back G# C# G# C# G# C# G# C# G# I know it looks like I'm insane C# G# C# G# G# C# G# B Take a closer look I'm not to blame G# No! Gonna have some fun with my frustration Gonna watch the big screen in my head I'd rather take a detour 'Cause this road ain't getting clearer Your train of thought has cut me off again Better to me that boy 'cause he's a wild one Better to me that boy for he's a man Sweetheart don't make me laugh You's getting too big for your pants And I's think maybe you should Cut on while you can You can use your illusion Let take you where it may We live and learn And then sometimes it's best to walk away Me, I'm just here hangin' on It's my only place to stay at least For now anyway I've worked too hard for my illusions Just to throw them all away I'm taking time for quiet consolation In passing by this love that's passed away I know it's never easy So why should you believe me When I've always got so many things to say Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made 'Cause playful hearts Can sometimes be enraged You know I tried to wake you I mean how long could it take you To open up your eyes and turn the page Kindness is a treasure And it's one towards me you've seldom shown So I'll say it for good measure To all the ones like you I've known Ya know I'd like to shave your head And all my friends could paint it red 'Cause love to me's a two way street And all I really want is peace Chorus Affection is a blessing Can you find it in your sorrid heart I tried to keep this thing together But the tremor tore my pad apart Yeah, I know it's hard to face When all we've worked for's gone to waste But you're such a stupid woman And I'm such a stupid man But love like time's got its own plans Chorus: But my baby's got a locomotive, My baby's gone off the track My baby got a locomotive, Got to peel the bitch off my back I know it looks like I'm insane Take a closer look, I'm not to blame, no Yeah, if love is blind, I guess I'll buy myself a cane G#m E Love's so strange G#m E Love's so strange G#m E Love's so strange... | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsC# D D# E F Fm F# G G# G#m B Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
