[A] Asking me one night at dinner for a song.
It was your eyes.
So she asked me [N] a couple times one night
She got real adamant about you know, really want a song
so I said, okay, you know write the song and I
went
Went home and the next afternoon.
I wrote this [D] Insider
I'm [E] an [A] imbecile
[D] [E]
[A] [F#m]
You did this [D] to me
I'm sick [E] of [A] this Insider
It's [E]
a hard promises line the whole thing just hit me in the head all at once
[A] [E] [D] Masterpiece
You're [E]
in self [D] control
[A] Yeah you'll [E] become [D] a seed
Yeah you'll become a seed
[G] [A] I'm [E] [D]
sick of this
She [E] said you know I
Can't take this from you because I know I can see how bad you [G] want it
And you just keep it and write me another song and we're even
I said yeah well
What am I supposed to do?
Okay, I got it
I knew it, I just
This really helps to do this little thing
And I said dash
[F] I said dash yeah well
Dash what am I supposed to
And it works
Creative writing right?
Did you ever take that?
You have to write it and then you have to go
You make dashes and exclamation points
So when you read it
I tell you I just barely got through school at all
It was just
You [Bm] come knocking on my front
You come knocking on [G]
my front
We did the stock dress a few hours
We went down and learned it and sang it
The rest is history
Will [E] [G]
[A] [E] [Bm]
[G] [Em]
[Bm]
[E] [G]
[E] [C] you get
[D] [C]
[D] [G] [C]
[D]
[C] [G] [C]
[Em] [Fm] And it's still a big thrill
Anytime you create a piece of music
To me [G] it's just a real Kick
I think it's a good thing
For people to play in the tape rolls
And then you can play it back
I'm still fascinated [A] by that
The [Em] thing we were doing
They even got an injunction
[A] We did this record with Stevie Nicks
I wrote her this [E] song finally
[A] Called The Inside of Me [F#m] And
[D] We cut the [E] song
And sang it And I
I thought it was such a good [G] song
I [A] didn't want to give it to her [C] You know
I said we should
Be able to work something out here
Because I really like this song
And I think it belongs in my album
So
Maybe we can work something out
I'll give you something else
[B] I said you know
What I was supposed to do
And I knew it
Native writing right
I tell you I just barely got through school at all
English was about as deep as it got
You can [E] rock and I can roll
[G] It really didn't sound [F#] like much [F] of [G] anything
When we did [G#] it
When she sang it it became something else
So bless her heart she had a big [G] hit with it
We were not really pleased about [C] that
Because it was
[F#] It [G] was put out at the time
When we released [C] our second single from the [Em] album
And it just [D] you know
Knocked us out of the way
[G] We had a huge hit
But we were on a Stevie Nicks album
[C] [G] [C] Yeah
It was your eyes.
So she asked me [N] a couple times one night
She got real adamant about you know, really want a song
