Conversation Piece

David Bowie

 AmG
took this walk to ease my  mind 
 F
To find out what's gnawing at me  
Wouldn't think, to look at me,
 Am
that I've spent a lot of time in education 
 G
  It all seems so long ago
 Am
I'm a thinker, not a talker
 G
 I've no-one to talk to, anyway

 Am
can't see the road
 GF
for the rain in my eyes
 AmGF7F
 Ahhh,ahhh,ah,ah.

 AmG
live above the grocers store,
 F
owned by an Austrian
He often calls me down to eat
 Am
And he jokes about his broken English,
 G
 tries to be a friend to me
 Am
But for all my years of reading conversation,
 G
 I stand without a word to say

 Am
can't see the bridge
 GF
for the rain in my eyes
 AmGF7F
 Ahhh,ahhh,ah,ah.

 AmG
And the world is full of life
 F
Full of folk who don't know me
And they walk in twos or threes or more
 Am
While the light that shines above the grocers store
 G
 investigates my face so rudely
 Am
And my essays lying scattered on the floor
 G
 Fullfil their needs just by being there
And my hands shake, my head hurts,
 F7
my voice sticks inside my throat
 AmG
I'm invisible and dumb,
 F
no-one will recall me

 Am
And I can't see the water
 GF
through the tears in my ey-y-yes


Am F F7 G
