Does Not Suffice by Joanna Newsom
Does Not Suffice
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
D G
I will pack all my pretty dresses
Bm G
I will box up my high-heeled shoes
D G
A sparkling ring for every finger
Bm G D A
I'll put away and hide from view
D G
Coats of boucle, jacquard and cashmere
Bm G
Cartouche and tweed, all silver-shot
D G
And everything that could remind you
Bm G D A
Of how easy I was not
D G
I'll tuck away my gilded buttons
Bm G
I'll bind my silks in shapeless bales
D G
Wrap it all up in reams o' tissue
Bm G D A
And then I'll kiss you sweet farewell
D G
You saw me rise to our occasion
Bm G
And so deny the evidence
D G
'Caused me to burn and twist and grimace against you
Bm G D A
Like something caught on a barbed wire fence
D G
Now you can see me fall back here redoubled
Bm G
Full bewildered and amazed
D G
I have gotten into some terrible trouble
Bm G D A
Beneath your blank and rinsing gaze
D G
It does not suffice for you to say I am a sweet girl
Bm G
Or to say you hate to see me sad because of you
D G
It does not suffice to merely lie beside each other
Bm G D A
As those who love each other do
D G
I picture you rising up in the morning
Bm G
Stretching out on your boundless bed
D G
Beating a clear path to the shower
Bm G D A
Scouring yourself red
D G
The tap of hangers swaying in the closet
Bm G
Unburdened hooks and empty drawers
D G
And everywhere I tried to love you
Bm G D A
Is yours again and only yours
D D7 G Gm
(for the La-la-la-la…)
Outro: (one bar of each)
Bm Bm Bm A
G G G A
