One Tiny Taste

[Intro] Bm  F#m  C#
        F#  C#  F#m

       Bm
I have earth in my voice, dear
    F#m                    C#     
the world is my oyster and I am 
               F#m
its pearly white smile
       Bm                      F#m
I have fortune and freedom and men 
when I need them
   C         Bm           C#
My life has charmed for a while
   Bm                     F#m
But when I was young and obedient 
and dumb
      Bm        C#       F#m
I was led to do terrible things
       Bm                          
By the state and the church and my 
F#m
mother who urged me
   Bm                      C#     
To give up my dreams for a ring
         Ab  C#


( G )        F#m                   
Tiny little girl, yearning for the 
                      Bm
world, settled for a wedding
Continúa después del anuncio
            C#                     
Tiny little groom, marching to his 
            F#m
doom, never understanding
            Bm                 C# 
Tiny little wife, tiny little 
              F#m
life, tiny little ending
      Bm
I was building a prison
  C#                       B
I could have been living a life

(  C#  F#  C#  F#m )

( G )          F#m                 
Lonely little man, playing with 
                          Bm
your hand, wishing you were bolder
             C#                  
Secrets in a jar, fear of who you 
                      F#m
are weighing on your shoulder
           Bm                  
Holding it inside, holding very 
 C#                    F#m
tight, slowly growing older
       Bm                     C#  
You're building a prison, you 
                     F#m
could have been living a life

    Bm                   F#m      
The world is so wide and before we
           C#                   
 have died we will only have one 
      F#m
tiny taste
       Bm                     
If you run off and hide like a 
 F#m               (G)  Bm       
whimpering child, just think of 
    Am             C#
the life you could waste

( D   C#/B   F#m )
( Bm   C#   F#m )

      Bm
Break out of your prison
     F#m
It's time to start living
       C#                  F#
You've only been given one life
G       Bm       C#        F#m
You've only been given one life
Bm               C#    B   Bm
You've only been given one life
