SUGAR MICE (Marillion)
Intro: | G | C9 | G | C9 |
      G                                                     C9
I was flicking through the channels on the TV
        G                                          C9
On a Sunday in Milwaukee in the rain
G                              C9
Trying to piece together conversations
G                                   C9
Trying to find out where to lay the blame
      D               
But when it comes right down to it there's no use 
Am7
trying to pretend
        G                                                               
For when it gets right down to it there's no one 
  C
here that's left to blame
               D                                    Am7
Blame it on me, you can blame it on me
                                                G               C9 G C9
We're just sugar mice in the rain
                G                                                 C
I heard Sinatra calling me through the floorboards
                            G                                  C9
Where you pay a quarter for a partnership in rhyme
             G                            C9
To the jukebox crying in the corner
                    G                                   C9
While the waitress is counting out the time
        D
For when it comes right down to it there's no use 
Am7
trying to pretend
    G                                           
For when it gets right down to it there's no one 
C9
really left to blame
D                                                   Am7
Blame it on me, you can blame it on me
   C                                         G
We're just sugar mice in the rain
Solo: (G C9)x8  D Am7 C G C9 G C9
                G
'Cause I know what I feel, know what I want 
   C9                                       G           C9
I know what I am Daddy took a raincheck
            G
'Cause I know what I want, know what I feel 
        C9                                              G
I know what I need Daddy took a raincheck, 
                                 C9
your daddy took a raincheck
G                                         C9
Ain't no one in here that's left to blame but me
               G               C9   G C9   G C9
Blame it on me, blame it on me
            G
Well the toughest thing that I ever did 
      C9
was talk to the kids on the phone
              G                     
When I heard them asking questions 
             C9
I knew that you were all alone
              G                                   C9
Can't you understand that the government left me out of work
                 G
I just couldn't stand the looks on their faces saying, 
C9
"What a jerk"
   D                                  Am7
So if you want my address it's number one at the end of the bar
         G
Where I sit with the broken angels 
               C9
clutching at straws and nursing our scars
            D               Am7
Blame it on me, blame it on me,
                    G
Sugar mice in the rain, 
                    C9
your daddy took a raincheck
                     G            C9  G
your daddy took a raincheck
