Intro- E A B E A B E
|
B C#m
|
Did they tear it out, with talons of steel
|
G#m A
|
And give you a shot, so that you wouldn't feel
|
B E A B E
|
And wash it away, as if it wasn't real
|
|
B C#m
|
It's just a mistake, I won't have to face
|
G#m A
|
Don't give it a name, don't give it a place
|
B E
|
Don't give it a chance, it's lucky in a way
|
|
A B
|
It must have felt strange, to find me inside you
|
E A
|
I hadn't intended to stay
|
B
|
If you want to keep it right, put it to sleep at night
|
C#m A B
|
Squeeze it until it could say
|
|
CHRRUS
|
C#m A B C#m A B
|
You can't be too strong You can't be too strong
|
C#m A B E
|
You can't be too strong
|
A E B E
|
You can't be too strong You decide what's wrong
|
|
B C#m
|
Well I ain't gonna cry, I'm gonna rejoice
|
G#m A
|
And shout myself dry, and go see the boys
|
B E A B
|
They'll laugh when I say, I left it overseas
|
|
E B C#m
|
Yeah babe I know that it gets dark, down by Luna Park
|
G#m A
|
But everybody else, is squeezing out a spark
|
B E
|
That happened in the heat, somewhere in the dark, in the dark
|
|
A B
|
The doctor gets nervous, completing the service
|
E A
|
He's all rubber gloves and no head
|
B
|
He fumbles the light switch, it's just another minor hitch
|
C#m A B
|
Wishes to God he was dead
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
|
A E B E
|
You can't be too strong You decide what's wrong
|
A E B E
|
Can't be too hard, too tough, too rough, too right, too wrong
|
A E B E
|
And you, can't be too strong
|
A E B
|
Baby you can't be too strong...
