Graham Parker - Thankless Task lyrics

pre>intro e d 4 times then e bm7 e d E a You can brace yourself for it Bm7 d g c But never ignore it away got to go stop E a There are hints of forgiveness Bm7 d g c You can stand as your witness but they will let you drop D c And they don't even see the betrayal D c That you trip on the light rail G em7 d And you feel you owe too much to even ask D What a thankless task They all want you to call them The hint from the dare wouldn't dare solid real They all want to be near you Hoping something will rub off that they can touch feel And you don't even know what they say You just hope that it comes in your hair And it makes you want to just look back and laugh Em7 g What a thankless task thankless task Em7 g em7 g e Thankless task thankless task oh yeah Push bu*tons and pull pumps But don't know what comes out in the end And it never stops there's always a price on your head Where in the world will it end? Will they ever let it drop? And you don't even see the betrayal As you trip on the light rail And you feel you owe too much to even ask What a thankless task thankless task Thankless task thankless task What a thankless task Repeats and fades /pre>
