Richard Thompson - Crawl Back Under My Stone

crawl back ( under my stone )

Am ( w Asus2 )
this time you hurt me , you really did it this time you did
did you count your fingers after shaking my hand , god forbid
D Dm D Dm
riff raff crawling from the slums right there in front of all your chums
B E
i swear by the pricking of my thumbs i’ll make your day and melt away

chorus :
Am F
i’ll crawl back under my stone
Am F
i’ll crawl back under my stone
Am F
i’ll crawl back under my stone
C G F
but you won’t have to stand next to me
C G F
but you won’t have to introduce me
C G C G F
you won’t have to think about , talk about , care about , me
Am
i’ll crawl back

i’ve got a nerve just showing my face don’t you think
scruffy little likes ought to know their place don’t you think
old boy , sorry to intrude damn shame pretty bloody rude
i should be horsewhipped & sued then i’ll go quietly my tail between my knees

chorus

A D
i want to be middle class
A D
floors and ceilings made of glass
A E D
i just want to be , i just want to be free

you had me in a second you had it all reckoned , you did
you guessed my game and my name , rank and number , you did
somehow i gave myself away , some code , some word i didn’t say
i missed one line in the play & the trap shut tight and you did me all right

chorus + :
you won’t have to think about , talk about , care about
you won’t have to ask about , fuss about , discuss about
you won’t have to mind about , swear about , forget about , me
crawl back
