You Can’t Be Too Strong Lyrics

Pre>(this was originally on the olga - sorry I’ve lost the author credit)

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... /pre>
