2/26 - BiaB demo uploaded; not a bad country tune.
I may have taken this weeks' challenge a little too far.
[C]My mind works through our [C/B]problems
while [Am7]I'm minding the [Am7/G]store
I [Fm]hope the boss don't [C]mind my [G]distraction
As I sort the new stock coming in
I sort through all the issues
Wishing I could take some sort of action
I'm ringing up a customer
the bell rings on the door
I see you coming in, without your ring
you see me and you turn away
your skin turning pale
things took a turn for the worse today
----
[Am]when you take that tone with me
[F]I don't take your meaning
[A]while I watch you take your leave of me
[C]I wish you'd take my [G]hand
from the [Am]beginning you were on the take
it'll take [F]time to sort this out
But [Am]I...can't [G]take this any[C]more.
----
As I quietly open the door
I struggle for an opening
to open up a difficult discussion
I come in, see that you're not home
know you'll never see it my way
that you'll never really see the way I've grown
your pack is missing from the house
you've packed your bags and left
my reflex is to pack my feelings down
it was wrong right from the start
I finally start to realize
it's startling, this broken feeling in my heart

[Am]when you take that tone with me
[F]I don't take your meaning
[A]while I watch you take your leave of me
[C]I wish you'd take my [G]hand
from the [Am]beginning you were on the take
it'll take [F]time to sort this out
But [Am]I...can't [G]take this any[C]more.
[Am]I...can't [G]take this any[C]more.
