Chords for Ray LaMontagne - Beg Steal Or Borrow

_ _ I'm talking _ _ _ about songs [F] and where they come from and [G] how you write them.
It's so strange to me [C#] _ _
because it's just _ [G] _ _
sort [Em] _ of the polar opposite of the way I approach
everything, you know.
[G] _ I [B] always feel like there should be a wall [G] between you and the audience.
_ It's a [E] clear wall, but you know, it's [C#] a very distinct thing.
_ _ _ And it's not a disrespectful thing, you know.
It's just that _ _ _ [G] it's like if you go to [Em] see a juggler, a really great juggler or a great
[E] magician or something. _ _
You don't want him to [D#] saw a lady in half and then after your [G#] mind is blown say,
[D] oh, well [D#] actually, you know, [D] it's just [G] mannequin legs. _ _ _
_ It's a mixture [F] of Tabasco sauce and ketchup [G] and a little bit of molasses _ [E] _ for the blood.
And [C#] _ _ _ [G] that's really it.
_ [B] _ _ You know, it's gone.
It's all over.
There's no mystery there.
_ _ _ _ And [F#] that always felt so important to me.
I guess just instinctually felt really important to me like there should [F] just be _ [G] a mystery
about the lyric and where they come from and a mystery about how closely connected the
songwriter is to the [B] song, you know.
