Manchild Chords by Neneh Cherry

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Okay, [G] you're on your own, it's late, [Fm] your [Em] girlfriend is on another date with the hero in your dreams
Turn around, [Cm] ask yourself, so you think you're gonna [D] win this tournament?
_ [Db] _
Is _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ this the pain of [E] the pain, or [Ab] the sudden distinct [Db] _ feeling? _
_ _ [F] _ [Gb] Color seems to work [D]
when it's late, your girlfriend's [E] on a date
And the hero whipper in your [C] dream, in your sleep you seem like you're [D] new
Turn around, ask yourself, _ turn around, ask [Gm] yourself
[Bbm] _ [Eb] Mad child, [Db] were you ever [B] there?
[Bbm] _ Mad [Eb]
child, [B] look at the state [Db] you're in
[Gb] _ [E]
Could _ [Db] _ you go _ [E]
undercover, [Ab] see a [Db] brand new lover?
Could you _ _ [F] be [Gb] someone else for the [D] night?
Maybe someone else will [E] love you
You'd sell your soul for a tacky [C] song like the one you hear on the [D] radio
Turn around, ask yourself, _ turn around, ask [G] yourself
[Bbm] _ [Eb] Mad child, [Db]
were you ever [B] there?
[Bbm] _ _ [Eb] Mad child, [B] look at the state [Db] you're in
[Bbm] _
[Eb] Mad child, [Db] you won't make [B] me cry
_ [Bbm] _ [Eb] Mad child, _ mad child, [Bbm] _ mad [Eb] _
child
_ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
Monday down to Friday, you're working on another [Bbm] man's car
_ _ [Ebm]
Or is it in [Ab] the factory?
[Ebm] _ Doesn't matter where [Bbm] you are _ _ _
_ [A] _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Turn around, ask yourself, is this communication?
Exaggerate the promise if it gives some elastation
Hey mad child, you know what?
I turn the microphone on
Control communication when I'm kicking it and throwing to the point
Where I need air that I breathe
And to an audience that's waiting and ecstatic to see
For the meantime, another me rock
I keep on saying it, I know what the time is in the car
We keep on playing it through the speaker box
It flies my diagnosis, cause I believe in miracles and words and steady doses
Enough, R-E-S-P-E-N-C-T
You speak from self express, no stress, no mountain seas
And just believe that all you need is the air that you breathe
_ _ [Bbm] Mad _ [Eb]
child, [Db] were you ever [B] there?
_ [Bbm] _
_ [Eb] Mad child, [B] look at the state [Db] you're in
_ [Bbm] _ [Eb] Mad child, [Db]
you won't make me [B] cry
_ [Bbm] Mad [Eb] _
child, [Bbm] _ [Eb] mad child, [Bbm] _
[Eb] mad _ child
_ [B] Is the apple of your [Db] eye?
_ _ Once bit, twice shy, boy don't you buy me again
Just take it in, and go tell your friend
Are you ready for the words?
I'll turn the microphone on
A figure of speech to reach you at the back
So all in style, I'm stimulating dance floors
Baby, you got a temperature now, and this demands more power in the air
You know now's my diagnosis, cause I believe in miracles, words,
