Get out of the car - put down the phone
Em C Em A :|
take off that stupid looking hat you wear
I'm gonna die if you touch me one more time
well I guess that I'm gonna die no matter what
Chorus:
G A
Love people are there
D / A G
the smell of love is everywhere
A G
you think it's always sensitive and good
Em G
you think that I want to be understood
Em / Bm G / A D -
I've got a match - your embrace and my collapse
2.
Beat up the cat if you want someone else on the mat
I put a rock in the coffee in your coffee mug
which one of us is the one that we can't trust?
you say that I think it's you but I don't agree with that
Chorus:
G A
Love people are there
D / A G
the smell of love is everywhere
A G
why can't you be sensitive and good
Em G
why don't you want to be understood?
Em / Bm G / A D / A G / A
I've got a match - your embrace and my collapse - even when we get along
Em / Bm G / A D
I've got a match - your embrace and my collapse
-E.M.
