Come Talk To Me

Intro: ------ A D, A D, A D, E Gbm [repeat] D A Verse: ------ The wretched desert takes it's form, A D/A The jackal proud and tight, A In search of you I feel my way, A D/A Through slowest heaving night A Whatever fear invents, D Dsus4 I swear it make no sense A I reach out through the border fence Bm G Come down, come talk to me A In the swirling curling storm of desire Unuttered words hold fast With reptile tongue the lightning lashes Towers built to last Darkness creeps in like a thief And offers no relief Why are you shaking like a leaf? Come on, come talk to me Chorus: ------- Ah please talk to me A/Db D Won't you please talk to me A/Db D We can unlock this misery A/Db D Come on, come talk to me E Gbm I did not come to steal A/Db D This all is so unreal A/Db D Can't you show me how you feel A/Db D Come on, come talk to me E Gbm Come talk to me, come talk to me D A [verse] The earthly power sucks shadowed milk, From sleepy tears undone From nippled skin as smooth as silk, The bugles blow as one You lie there with your eyes half closed, Like there's no-one there at all There's a tension pulling on your face Come on, come talk to me [chorus] Won't you please talk to me If you'd just talk to me Unblock this misery If you'd only talk to me Don't you ever change your mind Now your future's so defined And you act so deaf so blind Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me, come talk to me Bridge: ------- I can imagine the moment A Breaking out through the silence D/A All the things that we both might say A And the heart it will not be denied A D/A 'Til we're both on the same damn side A All the barriers blown away [chorus] I said please talk to me Won't you please come talk to me Just like it used to be Come on, come talk to me I did not come to steal This all is so unreal Can you show me how you feel now Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me, come talk to me I said please talk to me If you'd just talk to me Unblock this misery If you'd only talk to me Don't you ever change your mind Now your future's so defined And you act so deaf so blind Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me, come talk to me -- /////////////////////////////////////////////////// // What makes mass society so difficult to bear // // is not the number of people involved...but // // the fact that the world between them has lost // // its power to gather them together, to relate // // and to separate them. -- Hannah Arendt, 1958 // //-----------------------------------------------// // Chris Tapio gctapio@ucdavis.edu // ///////////////////////////////////////////////////
