Makin Excuses

A
Throw on that old song
F#m
Its unchanged melody could calm you 
just like me
A
Throw in some dancing
F#m
The familiar rhythm clears up that 
schism
D                          A
But he refuses, makin' excuses

[Verse 1]
A
You let your hair down, kick off 
your heels now
F#m
Boxing the moonlight 'till the 
sunrise taps you out
A
Your hips take in rhythm, bare feet 
in precision
F#m
Sillouhette in constant motion 
spinning a web to get his attention

D
And he refuses, makin' excuses
A
He won't get down, no no no no no

[Pre-Chorus]
D
I can't move to this song, I always 
move it wrong
Bm          E     Bm      
I should be gone, I should be 
    E
running along

[Chorus]
A         F#m
No, I got work in the morning
C#m          D
Think I ate something with poison
A           F#m                  
I'm hearing voices, I chipped my 
      D
front tooth
                 E
I am telling the truth

                 A
I'm not makin' excuses!

  F#m
I know it's alarming
C#m          D
I think I've come down with 
something
A             F#m                
These are not ruses, I'm not 
    D
telling lies, I might die
        E              A
I'm not makin' excuses!

[Verse 2]
A
You got no time to mend, got enough 
lemons
F#m
That he planted in his kisses when 
he thought you weren't paying 
attention
A
He's drinking milk so sour, getting 
boring by the hour
F#m
Sillouhette in constant motion 
spinning a web with tired affection

A
Go in with movement
F#m
A stiff stiletto wil move repetto
D
And it's so fleeting, bears 
repeating
A
I think you're making it up, think 
you're making it up

[Pre-Chorus]
D
I can't move to this song, I always 
move it wrong
Bm          E     Bm      
I should be gone, I should be 
    E
running along

[Chorus]
A         F#m
No, I got work in the morning
C#m          D
Think I ate something with poison
A           F#m                  
I'm hearing voices, I chipped my 
      D
front tooth
                 E
I am telling the truth
                 A
I'm not makin' excuses!
