Stray Italian Greyhound — Vienna Teng
Chords and lyrics for Stray Italian Greyhound by Vienna Teng (key of B).
Verse 1
Vienna Teng – Stray Italian Greyhound (Inland Territory 2009)
Now this is a really crazy song. I guess I figured the basic chords and it
works well
this way, but always happy for some genius to correct and improve. Guess
that song
deserves better ;)
Verse 1
Oh no, not [B]now, please not now
I just settled [E]into the glass half empty
Made myself at home
And so why [B]now, please not now
I just stopped [E]believing in happy endings
Harbors of my own
Pre-Chorus 1
[C#m] But you had to come along, didn’t you
[F#]Tear down the doors, throw open windows
[C#m]Oh, if you knew [C#m7]just what a fool you have [F#]made me
So [B]what do [F#]I do with [E]this?
Chorus 1
(E) F#
This stray Italian greyhound
These inconvenient [G#m]fireworks
This ice-cream-covered screaming [F#]hyperactive [E]thought
God, I just want to [F#]lay down
These colors make my [G#m]eyes hurt
This feeling calls for everything that [F#]I am
[B] Not
Verse 2
I’m not that [B]kind
I’m so good at [E]shooting down any notion
This tired world could change
It’s all been [B]bought
Well, at least that was my line
No use in [E]spending all that emotion
When there’s someone else to blame
Pre-Chorus 2
[C#m] But you had to come along, didn’t you
[F#]Rev up the crowd, rewrite the rule book
[C#m]Where do I go when every "no" turns into [F#]"maybe"
So [B]what do [F#]I do with [E]this?
Chorus 2
(E) F#
This sudden burst of sunlight
And me with my [G#m]umbrella
Cross-indexing every [F#]weatherman’s [E]report
Was ready for the [F#]downslide
But not for spring to [G#m]well up
This feeling calls for everything I [F#]can’t [E]afford
To [F#]know
Is [E]possible now
Bridge
[C#m]What do I [B]do, do [F#]I do
With a love that [C#m]won’t, that [B]won’t sit [F#]still
Won’t do what it’s [C#m]told
What do I [B]do, do I [F#]do
With a [C#m]love that [G#m]won’t sit [F#]still
Instrumental

Verse 3
[B]
Please not [B]now
Please not [E]now
Please not [C#m]now, please not
[Bridge] (now the offset gets just too crazy for me to post correctly;)
[C#m] What do [B]I do, do I [F#]do
With a love that [C#m]won’t sit still
With a [B]love that [F#]won’t sit still
[C#m]What do I [B]do, do I [F#]do
With a [E]love that [G#m]won’t
With a [F#]love that won’t sit [C#m]still
What do I [B]do, do I[F#] do
With a love that [C#m]won’t
That[B] won’t sit [F#]still
[C#m]Won’t do what it’s told
[C#m]What do I [B]do, do I [F#]do
with a [C#m]love that [G#m]won’t sit [F#sus4][F#][E]stiiiiiiiiiiiill
