  NAILS IN MY FEET

  (Neil Finn)

  

  As performed by Crowded House on the album "Together Alone"

  

  

  *Capo 3rd fret 

                 

                Am

  My life is a house

                         Bdim

  you crawl through the window

       E                                       Am

  slip across the floor and into the reception room

                 Am              Bdim

  you enter the place of endless persuasion

         E

  like a knock on the door

                                     Am

  when there's ten or more things to do

                     

  

                 C     F     Em    G

  Who is that calling?

                 C     F     Em    G

  you my companion

                 C       F       E

  run to the water on a burning beach

         Am         E

  and it brings me relief

  

  

  Pass through the walls

  to find my intentions

  circle 'round in a strange, hypnotic state

  I look into space

  there is no connection

  a million points of light

  and a conversation I can't face

  

  Cast me off one day

  to lose my inhibition

  sit like a lap dog on a matron's knee

           Am             E    Am   E

  wear the nails on your feet

  

  

  <The chord progression over the solo is: Am E>

  

  

  I woke up the house

  stumbled in sideways

  the lights went on and everybody screamed "Surprise!"

  the savage review

  it left me gasping

  but it warms my heart to see that you can do it too

  

  Total surrender

  your touch is so tender

                       C       F        G

  your skin is like water on a burning beach

                       C    F   Em   G

  and it brings me relief

  

                       C    F   G

  Like a night in your mind

  it brings me relief

  

  in the back door

  under the stars

  and the scenery is my floor

  in the back room

  under the stars

  and the scenery is my floor

  

  

  Bdim    x2343x         

  (I actually prefer Bm7b5 because it's easier to finger: x2323x)

  

  The C F Em G progression on the chorus can be substituted with 

  C C/F C/E G for an interesting-sounding variation.

  

  C/F     132010  (just an open C with F as the root)

  C/E     032010  (likewise, you include the low E)
