Chords for Sticks and Stones (Live) - Nils Lofgren

Yeah, listen, thanks for having me, Howard.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I want to say I [C#] love Cis, my wife.
[G] This goes out to you.
Are you so insecure about your wife that you've got to show pictures of her and mention her every minute?
No, but she's my inspiration.
I wanted to have pictures of her.
I saw her in the video, too.
The show was too cheap to fire her in to be my cheerleader.
Excuse me.
Cis, what kind of name is that?
What, is she named after urine?
She used to be a cheerleader for Rams Cheerleaders.
She's a very beautiful [G#] woman, and she loves you because you're a rock star.
She was good to you on the show, too.
Yeah, yeah, [F#] she's very beautiful.
Come on, get into it.
You were good.
I'm going to get into this now.
This is for you, Howard.
_ _ [B] _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Hey, when we hurt too much, _ _ _ sometimes we say too much. _
_ _ And the feelings we fight drop _ like bombs from a darkened sky. _
_ [C#] [F#m] And I'm up on [B] the edge, babe.
I'm out on [F#m] the edge.
What if one day we [B] go too far and our love don't [C#] make sense?
Sticks [F#] and stones, babe.
Sticks [F#m] and stones.
Sticks and stones will break [B] my bones.
[G#m] But your words, they break [E] my heart.
_ [G#] _ _ [E] _
Words can break [F#] my heart.
Yeah, they'll break my heart.
_ [C#] _ [F#] _ _ _ [B] _ [F#m] _ _
_ [F#] So next time I piss you off, _
_ [B] _ [F#] go hire a pinstripe gangster. _ _
_ Have him break a finger or two. _ _
_ Have him blow my kneecaps through. _
_ [F#m] Because anything's better than the way I feel when you rage on.
And I'd prefer to witness a hangin' than to see our [C#] love gone.
Yeah, sticks [B] and stones, [F#] babe.
Sticks and stones.
Sticks and stones will break my bones.
[D#m] But your words, they break [E] my heart.
_ [G#] _ _ [E] _
[C#] Words can break [F#] my heart.
Yeah, they'll break my heart. _
Yeah, they'll break [E] my_ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ [B] _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And our love I trust.
So [Bm] I'm gonna [F#m] fight for us.
I'll never feel love [B] this strong [F#m] again.
And I'll be [C#] damned if I let it. _ _ _ _
[B] Hey, sticks [F#] and stones, babe.
Sticks and stones.
Sticks and stones will break [B] my bones.
But your words, they break [E] my heart.
_ _ _ _ Words can break [F#] my heart.
Yeah, they'll break my heart.
Hey, sticks and stones, babe.
[A] Sticks [F#] and stones.

[G#m] But your words, they break [E] my heart.
_ _ _ Words can break [F#] my heart.
Yeah, they'll break my heart.
Words can break my heart.
[A] Words can [B] break [F#] my heart. _ _ _
