General Rules On Chord Charts

This song has been covered by a number of bands. This version is kind of a mutation of several of those, however, it probably bears closest resemblance to the Talking Heads.

E7 D A

E7 D A

I don't know why I love you like I do

E7 D A

After all the changes you put me through

E7 D A

You took my money and my cigarettes

E7 D A

Now I ain't seen hide nor hair of you yet*

(also heard - I haven't seen how it hurt you yet

and - I haven't seen the worst of it)

C G A G

I wanna know, won't you tell me, why I'd love to stay...

E7 D A

Take me to the river,

E7

And wash me down

D A E7

Take me to the water,

D A E7

And put my feet back on the ground

I don't know why you treat me so bad

Think of all the things that we could have had

Love is emotion that I can't forget

My sweet sixteen I will never regret

C#m A

Hold me, squeeze me

C#m A

Love me, baby you can tease me

G

Til I can't, til I can't, til I can't, I can't take no more

E7

Take me to the river

I don't know why I love you like I do

After all the changes you put me through

Sixteen candles burn on my wall

Tell me I'm the biggest fool of them all
