You Can't Be Too Strong — Graham Parker
Chords and lyrics for You Can't Be Too Strong by Graham Parker (key of E).
Intro
[E] [A] [B] [E] [A] [B] [E]
Verse
Did they tear it [B]out, with talons of [C#m]steel
And give you a [G#m]shot, so that you wouldn't [A]feel
And wash it [B]away, as if it wasn't [E][A]real[E][B]
It's just a [B]mistake, I won't have to [C#m]face
Don't give it a [G#m]name, don't give it a [A]place
Don't give it a [B]chance, it's lucky in a [E]way
It [A]must have felt strange, to [B]find me inside you
I [E]hadn't intended to [A]stay
If you want to keep it right, [B]put it to sleep at night
[C#m]Squeeze it [A][B]until it could say
Chorus
You can't be too [C#m][A]strong[B]
You can't be too [C#m][A]strong[B]
You can't be too [C#m][A][B]strong[E]
You can't be too [A]strong
[E]You decide what's [B]wrong[E]
Verse
Well I ain't gonna [B]cry, I'm gonna [C#m]rejoice
And shout myself [G#m]dry, and go see the [A]boys
They'll laugh when I [B]say, I left it [E][A]overseas[B]
[E]Yeah babe I know that it gets [B]dark, down by Luna [C#m]Park
But everybody [G#m]else, is squeezing out a [A]spark
That happened in the [B]heat, somewhere in the [E]dark, in the dark
The [A]doctor gets nervous, [B]completing the service
He's [E]all rubber gloves and no [A]head
He fumbles the light switch, it's [B]just another minor hitch
[C#m]Wishes [A]to God[B] he was dead
Chorus
But you can't be too [C#m][A]strong[B]
You can't be too [C#m][A]strong[B]
You can't be too [C#m][A]strong[E][B]
Bridge
Can't be too [A]strong, [E]you decide what's [B]wrong[E]
Can't be too [A]hard, too[E] tough, too rough, [B]too right, [E]too wrong
And [A]you,[E] can't be too [B]strong[E]
Baby [A]you[E] can't be too [B]strong...
Repeat intro (I think).
