I picked a cactus flower there

And more trouble than you could bare

G Csus2 F Csus2 x2
I thought I had a pocket full of chance
She said "Don't pull that thing on me"
She pulled a finger and took the light from in her eye

And if it's over, if your mouth feels dry
You don't here it on the wire
Honey you hear it in the air
G Csus2 F Csus2 x2
Am Em Am Em C
Can I get a witness, to help me through the day
C Am C Am D
And if it's raining, or if it's dry
You don't here it on the wire
Honey you hear it in the air
