Graham Parker - Problem Child Lyrics

Pre>introbass run of d c# b a a b then

E bab / e bab



The fill ( g#m f#m ab e) can just be played over the b

But these would probably be the chords if they were there



E b a g#m f#m ab e

How fast does the time go?

E b a g#m f#m ab g#m

How high does the wind blow?

G#m f#m a b

You dont know do ya aint paid attention

G#m f#m a b

You cant think, can ya, increase the tension

A b e

And youre running out to hide, cause you



Chorus

Ba b e

A problem child, you aint got any sense

B a b e

A problem child, you cant find no defence

G#m a g#m a

Cause even though your heart is full of problems

B a b e

Nobody sees them, no-one sees them baby but you and me

E b a b e b a b

Ooh yeah baby but you and me



How much does your life mean?

(b at 14)

How dumb do the birds seem?

Flying round, aimlessly in circles,

Just like you, playing with your sad curls

And tears rollin down your face, cause you



Repeat chorus



Bridge

Dm a

Everything you try to do gets in somebodys way

B a a b

Like a part that just dont work youre useless so they say

Dm a

Everything you wear dont fit your dreams are made of grey

B a b a

Stay with them and hope theyll turn to something someday

B a b ab

Dont get wild theyve only got you filed down as

A e

A problem child,



Chorus plus variations (just like me and you) /pre>
