NAILS IN MY FEET
(Neil Finn)

As performed by Crowded House on the album "Together Alone"


*Capo 3rd fret

              
My life is a h


ouse
              
you crawl thro

         
ugh the window
             
slip across th

              
e floor and in

              
to the recepti

   
on room
              
you enter the 

            
place of endle

   
ss persuasion
       
like a knock o

n the door
              
when there's t

              
en or more thi

       
ngs to do


              
Who is that ca

               
lling?
              
you my compani

               
on
              
run to the wat

            
er on a burnin

   
g beach
            
and it brings 

    
me relief


Pass through the walls
to find my intentions
circle 'round in a strange, hypnotic state
I look into space
there is no connection
a million points of light
and a conversation I can't face

Cast me off one day
to lose my inhibition
sit like a lap dog on a matron's knee
            
wear the nails

                 
 on your feet


<The chord progression over the solo is: Am E>


I woke up the house
stumbled in sideways
the lights went on and everybody screamed "Surprise!"
the savage review
it left me gasping
but it warms my heart to see that you can do it too

Total surrender
your touch is so tender
              
your skin is l

             
ike water on a

         
 burning beach
              
and it brings 

                 
me relief

              
Like a night i

              
n your mind
it brings me relief

in the back door
under the stars
and the scenery is my floor
in the back room
under the stars
and the scenery is my floor

The C F Em G progression on the chorus can be substituted with
    for an interesting-sounding variation.

C/F     132010  (just an open C with F as the root)
C/E     032010  (likewise, you include the low E)
