Tanita Tikaram - I Owe All To You
(From the Sweet Keeper, 1990)
CF
Tell Ma, she's a stonebreaker
CG
Tell her there are no takers
CF f
For a heart like this will always be
CG
Chaste at first, then left for me
CF
And though your pallor shows instinct
CG
And all our lives are worth
CF
That stint you did with that man of mine
CG
But lady-luck, her needs divine
CF
'Cos I'm courted by the mourning sun y'know
CG
We shine all the picture palace shows
CF
They used to make you feel so real
CG
But now you go trickling
CF
'Til you steal a moment by yourself
CG
When the people don't come and need your help
CF
When the people don't come with pseudo sight
CG
To tell you how to live your life
CF
Now can you live your life with this life of mine
CG
See I'm feeling guilty and I need some time
c F
To explain the things that I gotta do
G
'Cos more or less
FCFCG
I owe all to you
CF
Tell all to a sweet keeper
CG
As you sit and you're much deeper
CF
In debt it's always nice to be
CG
With the closest like the family
CF
And when you hit on a great line y'know
CG
And when you think you've opened up your soul
c F
But every girl who's counting the day
CG
Isn't cold - but she just needs to say
CF
'Cos I'm courted by the mourning sun y'know
CG
We shine all the picture palace shows
CF
They used to make you feel so real
CG
But now you go trickling
CF
'Til you steal a moment by yourself
CG
When the people don't come and need your help
CF
When the people don't come with pseudo sight
CG
To tell you how to live your life
CF
Now can you live your life with this life of mine
CG
See I'm feeling guilty and I need some time
c F
To explain the things that I gotta do
G
'Cos more or less
FCFCG
I owe all to you
FC
And hiding in the lost country
FC
I know I gotta way to go
FC
And though you still may find me
FG
At least my garden grows
CF
'Cos I'm courted by the mourning sun y'know
CG
We shine all the picture palace shows
CF
They used to make you feel so real
CG
But now you go trickling

'Til you steal a moment by yourself
