Текст песни The Cat Empire - The Lullaby

The Lullaby
The Cat Empire
In the song, Felix sings in a very loose, free style. Due to this it's hard to place 
exactly where you change the chord just by looking at the words here- but as long as you 
know the beat, you'll be fine.

The second verse and chorus have the same chord pattern as the first verse and chorus. 
The final chorus is the same again, except with a key change.

Also, in the first verse there is a bit where there is no music, just words. At these 
points, I've put the chords in brackets. They are optional.

I've left out the instrumental trumpet solo chords. Sorry if the lyrics are wrong- I 
copied it straight from another website without checking first. My bad!

I cannot say ‘oh sweetness'
like he could
cause I cannot play a lullaby
like it should

   x2

I used to cry but now I have to laugh
because she's got that torment
to a fine art
smart like a foxy
and craf-ty-as--cat

i'm looking up

as i'm lying on my back
bite the beast

if i want a big piece of the pie
but she's taken the feast
in the blink of an eye
I can-not-jus-ti-fy

what's going on
- it feels so right
when it seems so wrong
like a plot hatched

in the sweet spot of that trap
 ()
- ask what she's schemes
        ()
she say ‘oh this and that'
        ()
then she snaps like a camera

in black with a flash
        ()
puts the drum in the drama
   ()
the hand in the clap

she's a map with no bearings

attached - no
safety-in-this-match
fire you can't catch
then zap I was struck by that

bolt before dawn
then by breakfast honey
we was signed and sworn

I'll give you all night movie marathon
and a triple expresso so you can stay awake
it might be late - but
it's never too late for that lovin
my sexy babe
something always telling me
‘save prayers before dawn'
cos what happens when I'm with you
makes me shake my head then smile and yawn
I'm worn out but I'm beaming
and it seems that we are dreamy
as we head out through that strange old morning door

(Verse Two)

(Chorus Two)

Key change sequence:     

Final Chorus: up 4 semitones
 becomes 
 becomes 
 becomes
