Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty


From the 2002 album "Lost in Space"


Intro: Am Em Am Em

Am           Em             Am              Em
Say you were split, you were split in fragments
Am           Em             Am        Em
And none of the pieces will talk to you
Am        Em       C      Em/b
Wouldn't you want to be who you had been
   F        C     G
Well, maybe I want that too

     F     C      G    Dm
So better take the keys and drive forever
     F     C      G     Dm
Staying won't put these futures back together
     F     C      G     Dm
All the perfect drugs and superheroes
 F         C          G            Dm          Bb
Wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero    


Baby, you're great, you've been more than patient 
saying it's not A catastophe                     
but I'm not the girl you once put your faith in     
just someone who looks like me                      

 F       C        G       Dm
So better take the keys and drive forever 
 F       C        G       Dm        
staying won't put these futures back together     
 F       C        G       Dm
all the perfect drugs and superheroes              
 F       C       G        Dm     B♭
wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero          

Em  Am   Em  Am   C
So get out while you can  
Em       Am    
Get out while you can
            Em    Am
Baby I'm pouring quicksand
            F          C
and sinking is all that I had planned
     Em Am    Em       Am  F     Dm       B♭
so better just go 

 F   C   G   Dm
Oh better take the keys and drive forever   
F   C   G   Dm       
staying won't put these futures back together    
F   C   G   Dm   
all the perfect drugs and superheroes  
F   C   G   Dm.           F   C   G   Dm             
wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero           

F7         C        G     Dm
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put baby together again
All the kings horses and all the kings men
F7         C    G    Dm  Bb  C
Couldn't put baby together again
