The State I Am In

 
C#           C        F#           C        C# C   
I was surprised, I was happy for a day in 1975 
A#m              G#m       F#                C        C# C   
I was puzzled by a dream, stayed with me all day in 1995  
A#m        G#m                F#              
My brother had confessed that he was gay 
   C                 C#             C   
It took the heat off me for a while 
A#m        G#m                 
He stood up with a sailor friend 
F#                       C       C#       C  A#m G#m C# 
Made it known upon my sisters wedding day 
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
C#               C         F#              C         
I got married in a rush to save a kid from being deported 
C#                C   
Now she's in love 
    A#m        G#m           F#               C  
oh, I was so touched, I was moved to kick the crutches 
        C#                C   
From my crippled friend 
A#m           G#m             F#               C  
She was not impressed cause I cured her on the Sabbath 
  C#               C   
I went to confess 
F#               G#m         A#m              C  
When she saw the funny side, we introduced my child bride 
   C#             C  
To whisky and gin 
   A#m            G#m  C# 
To whisky and gin 
 
-------------------------------------------------------------- 
C#               C             F#          C         
The priest in the booth had a photographic memory 
    C#                C   
For all he had heard 
A#m                G#m         F#            C  
He took all of my sins and he wrote a pocket novel called 
 C#                      C  
"The State That I Am In" 
A#m           G#m          
So I gave myself to God 
      F#              C              C#       C  
There was a pregnant pause before he said ok 
F#             G#m          A#m             C  
Now I spend my days turning tables round In Marks & Spencer's 
C#                      C   A#m  G#m 
They don't seem to mind 
 
F# 
I gave myself to sin 
  A#m 
I gave myself to Providence 
    E 
And I've been there and back again        (2x) 
     G#m                 (C# depois da 2ª) 
The state that I am in 
 
C#         C                F#           C  
Oh love of mine, would you condescend to help me 
          C#               C    
Cause I?m stupid and blind 
A#m          G#m           F#              C          C#              C  
Desperation is the Devil's work, it is the folly of a boys empty mind 
A#m             G#m         F#            C           C#           C  
Now I'm feeling dangerous, riding on city buses for a hobby is sad 
               F#           G#m 
Why don?t you? Lead me to a living end 
     A#m            C            C#              C  
I promised that I'd entertain my crippled friend 
   A#m             G#m 
My crippled friend 
 

 
++++NA QUARTA VEZ FAZER ISSO: 
F# 
I gave myself to sin 
  A#m 
I gave myself to Providence              4x
    D#m 
And I've been there and back again       
     C#                 
The state that I am in 
 
------FINAL---------------------------------------------------------- 
C   
  I gave myself to sin 
    F#                             C# 
And I've been there and back again oh yeah!
