Political

{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
[A]I was tired of being [Asus2]put right down by my
[D]self for not being what you thought you had found
[A]Pulled hard in [Asus2]two directions by a
[D]desire to learn and my old affections
[A]When I tried to share my [Asus2]world with you
[D]you could not seem to tolerate the
[A]people I have [Asus2]grown to love
[D]They shrank under your scrutiny, became the ones you'd hate, why did

{section: Chorus}
        [A]everything, [Asus2]every little thing, every little thing with you and
        [D]me have to be so political
        [A]Everything, [Asus2]every little thing, every little thing with you and
        [D]            [D]    [A]        ( [Asus2]  [D]   [D]   [A]   [Asus2]  [D]  [A]  [E] )*
        me had to be so political

                * (fill not played before third verse)

[A]I was feeling a little [Asus2]underwhelmed about
[D]hanging 'round with you and feeling over-cautious
[A]Every word, every little look, every littl[Asus2]e sign, every little
[D]phrase put me deeper in your doghouse
[A]You'd let me out to run [Asus2]across your world, I
[D]ran into a wall, you told me I built it then you'd
[A]Reel me in, ream me [Asus2]out, pick me up, push me
[D]out again, and then repeat, why did

  CHORUS
[E]Too busy tripping on my tongue, to [D]try and stand my ground
I can [E]still see myself crying in your lap asking [D]you

"Are you happy with the man you have found?"

{section: Harmonica solo}
[A]       [Asus2]   [D]       [D]

[A]I'm grateful for what you [Asus2]did for me
I can [D]see things now I never would have seen
And to[A]day I thought about what [Asus2]could have been but could
[D]Never be for you and me because
