Intro C# B A Through & Through & Through
Verse 1
E B E
I?m the Berlin Wall, I?m a communist
A E
You?re a wrecking ball in a summer dress
E B E
You?re the horizon line, I?m the last sunset
E A
I might be going down but I?m not set yet
E B E
I?m as white as a ghost, digging foolish gold
A E
I will man my post but I won?t do as I?m told
E B E
I?ve got a purple heart from a bloody war
A
I can?t take it anymore, more, more
B
They say that good things come to those who wait
But if you snooze then you lose
So don?t hesitate
Verse 2 E B E A
Outta sight, outta mind, outta luck, outta wine
Don?t you say that I?m out of my fucking mind
I?ve been talking trash but it ain?t my fault
Every time I move somebody?s in my spot
B
They say that good things come to those who wait
But if you snooze then you lose
So don?t hesitate
Chorus
C# B A
You?ve got nowhere to go
C# B A
I know, I know, I know
C# B A
It?s only you and me
C# B A
But good things come in three
Verse 3 E B E A
You be April Stevens, I?ll be April Wine
You be Israel, I will be Palestine
Come on ?Teach Me Tiger?, come on and show me tricks
Let me take my time and take a couple lazy licks
B
They say that good things come to those who wait
But if you snooze then you lose
So don?t hesitate
Chorus C# B A
Are you feeling blue?
Through & through & through
Where we find you now?
Around, around, around
Verse 4 E B E A
All the dirty blondes, playing blue-eyed soul
You won?t hear our songs on your radio
Every note we sing can?t be solid gold
Every boy can?t be Romeo
B
They say that good things come to those who wait
But if you snooze then you lose
So don?t hesitate
B
They say that good things come
To those who wait
Good things come
If you take the bait
In a rummage sale
At the Sally Ann!
Everything is cheap
Love should last a life
Or at least a year!
But it lasts a week
I?m the Berlin Wall
And that ain?t all!
I?m a total mess
You?re a wrecking ball
I?m a wrecking ball!
In a summer dress
Chorus C# B A
Are you feeling blue?
Through & through & through
Where we find you now?
Around, around, around
Outro E B E A
All the dirty blondes, playing blue-eyed soul
. . . songs on your radio
. . .
A
I can?t take it anymore, more, more
Notes: at the end of each verse when playing B (?they say that good things come?), play
