Glenn Tilbrook - Fruitcake
(Tilbrook/McNally)
From the 2014 studio album, Happy Ending.
__________________________________________________________
[Verse 1]
C
So beautiful, funny, and slighty apart
Am
A hint of the bonkers was there from the start
D Em Bm
I lived my life from day to day
G Cm G
With her I thought maybe things could change
D Em Bm
She took the time and learned to live with the
G Cm G
Fullest commitment I could give
[Chorus]
F#m Em D
My engine was revving, as I let off the brakes
C G C Dsus4 G
And I gave my heart to my fruit cake
[Verse 2]
C
The buns in the oven arrived right on cue
Am
A boy for us first then, another one too
D Em Bm
We loved them madly with no clue
G Cm G
Of how life might change and what to do
D Em Bm
Losing sleep made things seem much worse
G Cm G
Our love was locked in-to re-verse
F#m Em D
The bitterness and anger were as hard to take
C G C Dsus4 G
As the flying fists of my little fruit cake
[Verse 3]
C
I covered my bruises when I had been bashed
Am
I'd say things were fine when inside I was trashed
D Em Bm
We went round in circles getting nowhere
G C G
Our arguments drifting up the stairs
D Em Bm
I was so tired of being tossed in the wake
C G C Dsus4 G
Of the debris surrounding my fruit cake
[Bridge]
G F Em F
Ad-mit there's a problem, that's some kind of start
G F C
Or let it con-tinue to pull me a-part
C
A long time has passed now, we're still hanging in
Am
You ask how I'm doing, well I'll grip and grin
D Em Bm
Not in denial but con-cealed
[Verse 4]
G C G
Our family's together and wounds will heal
D Em Bm
It turns out to be the best deal I could make
C Dsus4 G C Dsus4 G
For our kids, me and my little fruit--cake
[Outro]
C Dsus4 G C Dsus4 G
For our kids, me and my little fruit--cake
C Dsus4 G C Dsus4 G
For our kids, me and my little fruit--cake
C
So look back in anger or look back and learn?
Am
The jury's still out and court is ad-journed
