A Firm Kick

  A              E
A firm kick in the pants 
     Bm              D          E
This last chance to get things right 
A                 E           Bm
This was one time I closed an eye 
       D         E
Looked away from you 

F#m
Look out for yourself tonight 
D
Sometimes I have to get things right 

A       E            Bm             F#m
I never meant what I said to you 
A               E               Bm        D
Give up all the things that you love to do 
A         E                  Bm      F#m
I’d never guessed that you’d do me wrong 
A            E            Bm         D
I’ll never except that dance and song 

A                  E
A little time to adjust 
          Bm   D       E
Would be just what we need 
A                            E                 Bm
I’ve meant to tell you what I think that you think 
     D            E
When I cross your mind 

F#m
Forgone 
Stressed at the light 
D
What’s wrong with being uptight 

A       E             Bm    F#m
I never say what I intend to 
A           E           Bm      D
But does it mean that much to you 
A         E            Bm           F#m
I’d close call with a glitch in time 
A              E          Bm     D
Are you really that happy to be mine 

E                    D
No I’m not disguising 
E             D
All that fighting 
E               D
And dreams not coming true 

2x  F#m C#m E Bm

F#m          C#m   E          Bm
I will play some light from the sun 
F#m     C#m   E    Bm
The world by my side 
F#m            C#m E      Bm  F#m     C#m    E      Bm
And I will see dawn as a forlorn maiden in the sky 
F#m    C#m      E      Bm      F#m     C#m    E      Bm
And I will play a song of thunder you may recognize 
F#m         C#m
You make a never 
E         Bm
That’s forever 
F#m           C#m       E Bm
Knowing what you deny 

A                  E             Bm
When I revisit the past it’s a blast 
      D           E
I’ve just gotta move on 
A                     E          Bm
I’ve just let down someone I relied on 
      D         E
And I don’t see why 

F#m
How'd we pretty up that speech 
D
MC talking through me 

A           E              Bm        F#m
I’ve never done what I set out to do 
A             E               Bm      D
Don’t come to me ’cuz I’ll run from you 
A             E               Bm       D
Left out of life would I really care 
A            E
Not a whole lot 
       Bm                 D
There’s nothing for me there 

E            D          E             D
I’ll never forget the limits that we set 
E                    D     F#m
Back when it was our moon 
E                      D         E                 D
And I never made a pretense of living with good sense 
E                D         F#m
It’s really not my strong suit.
