(Struck By Lightning)

She Wants So Many Things (G. Parker)

Capo 2

INTRO: Em / D/ A/ D (3 times)

G D A D

She wants so many things you can't give to her

G D A G

She wants so many things you don't have much

She wants so many things you can't deliver to her

She wants so many things all at once

VERSE (CHORDS: G / A / G / A)

Like a brick wall that'll keep her from crumbling

And a camouflage jacket to hide from herself in

And a system of worship like a powerful magnet

That'll draw in the heathens pick them up in a dragnet

And pull them underwater till they all go stagnant

BRIDGE (CHORDS: D / A / D / A)

She wants so many things beamed in on a satellite

Served up on a silver tray a wasp and parasite

G D A D

She wants so many things where you gonna find them all

G D A G

She wants so many things get up and run

She wants so many things you're at her beck and call

You're the puppet she pulls the strings just for fun

VERSE (CHORDS: G / A / G / A)

Like a blue ocean that's devoid of fishes

Cause they're all on her table prepared into dishes

Like an army of lieutenants all standing to attention

And a book about you where YOU don't get a mention

With her hand on a Bible she's right in your face

She's a living example of God's bad taste

And with him for an ally she can't be a heretic

But her heart's from a laboratory spun from a synthetic

BRIDGE (CHORDS: D / A / D / A)

She wants so many things brought without question

The Gardens of Babylon hanging and festooned

A ship In the desert your soul on a plate

She can't wait any longer don't make her wait

G D A D

She wants so many things you can't negotiate

G D A G

She wants so many things you feel the crunch

She wants so many things don't make her reiterate

She wants so many things all at once

VERSE (CHORDS: G / A / G / A)

A collection of clowns who were dragged up in public school

Who dream up the rhythms that she dances in the disco to

They all surround her and yes her to death

With their hands on their mouths to hide their bad breath

And she lives in a fortress at the back of a project

And she'll let you in soon but not now and not yet

And she likes to see you immersed in greed

Confusing what you want with what you need

BRIDGE (CHORDS: D / A / D / A)

She wants so many things split up into atoms

She owns the crown jewels but you can't get at 'em

CHORUS 2 repeat then instrumental VERSE with doo dooo doos

then INTRO repeat

G D A D

She wants so many things you can't keep up with her

G D A G

She wants so many things at the same time

She wants so many things you can't keep it up her

She wants so many things you'll never find

VERSE (CHORDS: G / A / G / A)

Like three million shoes and a closet full of whips

And two dozen hats and then everyone fits

And the kind of acceptance that needs a lobotomy

That'll help you accept every single contradictory

Statement that hits you like a force nine gale

And makes you go pale every time that you fail

To bring home the bacon and bring in the goods

Get the musk from the deer and the shell from the turtle

And the gold from the fools and the shells from the sea

She says load them in a caravan bring them to me

BRIDGE (CHORDS: D / A / D / A)

She wants so many things brought to her feet

Cover every inch of the world in concrete

You better do it it's only your fate

She can't wait any longer don't make her wait

G D A D

She wants so many things you can't give to her

G D A G

She wants so many things you don't have much

She wants so many things you can't deliver to her

Everything's attached to strings you can't touch

(fade on) She wants so many things
