The Sweetest Thing by Camera Obscura





          The Sweetest Thing 






Capo 1st Fret


INTRO
C | Dm | C | F  (x4)

VERSE
C              Dm
I'm going on a date tonight
C                F                C
  To try to fall out of love with you
                 Dm 
I know, I know this is a crime
C                  F            C
  But I don't know what else to do

C | Dm | C | F

My love, you're in a magazine
My love, you're doing fine, you're on TV
You pull my heart out and then you run away
From Chicago to Cleveland you leave me pain
Dm             C     F
  You leave me pain

CHORUS
C                            Dm
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
C                  F                  C
  I would trade my mother to hear you sing
                             Dm
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
C                  F
  I would trade my mother

VERSE 
On the bus radio, 
"Fifty ways to leave your lover alone"
I laughed at the irony
But life is stupid, the irony all lost on me
It got lost on me

(CHORUS)

INSTRUMENTAL
C | Dm | C | F  (x2)

G | F | G | Am | Dm 

VERSE 
You challenged me to write a love song
Here it is, I think I got it wrong
I focused on the negative
The pain was too much to write and sing
Oh, it was not a nice incentive

CHORUS
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing   
I would trade my mother to hear you sing     (X3)

When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother

    C         Dm
But she don't know 
     C           F
Just how far I'd go
        C                  Dm
Would I walk for a hundred miles 
      C                        F
for a glimpse of your northern smile?

OUTRO
C | Dm | C | F  (x4)

I'm going on a date tonight
To try to fall out of love with you
I know, I know this is a crime
But I don't know what else to do

My love, you're in a magazine
My love, you're doing fine, you're on TV
You pull my heart out and then you run away
From Chicago to Cleveland you leave me pain
You leave me pain

When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother to hear you sing
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother

On the bus radio, "Fifty ways to leave your lover alone"
I laughed at the irony
But life is stupid, the irony all lost on me
It got lost on me

When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother to hear you sing
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother

You challenged me to write a love song
Here it is, I think I got it wrong
I focused on the negative
The pain was too much to write and sing
Oh, it was not a nice incentive

When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my other to hear you sing
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my other to hear you sing

When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother to hear you sing
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother

But she don't know just how far I'd go
Would I walk for a hundred miles for a glimpse of your northern smile?
