Nobody Hurts You

Pre>riff over e d a e be a e d a d e G I try to pull my weight, study my geography A d It doesn't seem to get me anywhere G I hold a picture up, everybody thinks it's me A d I get a thrill out of tampering with the atmosphere Bm g Hey baby, I'm out of favour Bm d Can't always be the right flavour G It just seems that no matter what you do A Someone, somewhere's suddenly gotta punish you Chorus D a g a Nobody hurts you nobody hurts you D a g a Nobody hurts you nobody hurts you G d Harder than yourself harder than yourself G d Harder than yourself harder than yourself I once had this dream, woke up with the daily news And it looked like forever I had a coffee fix, every item there to choose? All my love came by letter Suffocating in suburbia The new estates build claustrophobia Grandfather's money only in the finest stuff That's enough, that's enough, that's enough Repeat chorus, repeast intro You make me tag along, run into the rent-a-crowd But they're just imitation I try to write the song, you and me are laughing loud But it comes out frustration No one's going to illuminate you All the odds are stacked against you You're just cavin' in, right there in front of me It's a picture I don't ever want to see Repeat chorus with variations chords are g and d /pre> --- Nobody Hurts You - Graham Parker
