A Song To Brenda Burt

The Bruised Sycophants

key: (chord shapes in the key of C) Capo on a

         C
Stupid I am
          Am
Stupid of me
           Em
Dying for love
                 G
But dying with glee
             C
Nothing but tears
                    Am
To spread in my pillow
                    Em
The pills I didn't swallow
                   G
Your interests, I follow
             Am            Em
To shut my shameful mouth

            G
Stupid I'll be
                 C
But lovely for thee
                Am
And missing my sordid wishes
                G
My words to be fed
                    Am
Cleanliness to be scared
         Em
About my endless weeds

( Am  E )

F
Booze and love to declare
   C
My emptiness share its stare
   Fm
So hard to find a new way
         C
Into a heart, so free to sway

Am                               Em
   New plays, new highways, new chapters
Am                               Em
   Somedays and all the moments after

C                     Am
Honey to the breeze, bees to be frozen
                         Em
But forever lovely for thee

( Am  E )

Stupid of me but forever lovely for thee
Am
I'm missing my sordid wishes, my words to be fed,
                    Em
cleanliness to be scared about my
C                     C7
endless weeds

( Am  E7 )
