David Bowie - Conversation piece

^GI ^Dtook this walk to ease my mind ^AmTo find out what's gnawing at me ^CWouldn't think to look at me

^Gtha^Dt I've spent a lot of time in education ^CIt all seems so long ago ^GI'm a t^Dhinker not a talker ^CI've no-one to talk to anyway

I ^Gca^Fn't see the road ^Cfor t^Ghe rain in my eyes ^GAhh^Fh .^C.. ^G

I ^Dlive above the grocers store ^Amowned by an Austrian ^CHe often calls me down to eat ^GAn^Dd he jokes about his broken English ^Ctries to be a friend to me ^GBu^Dt for all my years of reading conversation ^CI stand without a word to say

I c^Gan^F't see the bridge ^Cfor the rai^Gn in my eyes Ahhh...

^AAnd t^Ehe world is full of life ^BmFull of folk who don't know me ^DAnd they walk in twos or threes or more

^AWhil^Ee the light that shines above the grocer's store ^DInvestigates my face so rudely ^AAn^Ed my essays lying scattered on the floor ^DFulfill their needs just by being there ^AAn^Ed my hands shake my head hurts my v^Doic^Ae sticks inside my throat ^AI'm ^Einvisible and dumb And ^Dno-^Aone will recall me ^AAnd I c^Gan't see the water ^Cfor^Am7 the^E t^Aears in my ey-y-yes
