G               F                     Em
I went to your house, I knocked very hard
G              F                   Em
She won't wake up, I slept in the yard
    G
A German and a Russian and
    C                 G
a Frenchman do their best
The Frenchman had a breakdown so
      C             G
they gave it all a rest
You took a boat to Indochine
         C             G
and you partied in Saigon

But they followed him and they begged to him
       C               G
that they should carry on

Chorus:
G
I just can't take it
   G7
I just can't fake it
   C                      G
I just can't break it to you
G
I just can't take it
   C                      G
I just can't break it to you

I slept at the bar, I'm not feeling fresh
I hear the roar of fighter jets

I went to your house, they bulldozed it down
I danced at a barn, but you weren't around
Lying on my back, little ground has come to feed
I tightened up my neck tie 'lest
the brownies make me bleed
I thought of my inheritance I did receive today
A few drops for my troubles and
a thing for Morgan le Fay
