You Can't Be Too Strong

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 ab

Squeeze it until it could say

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

Eb 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

Ea

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

A eb 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... /pre>
