The Speed Of Things chords by Robyn Hitchcock

Verse 1:
G  A   D       D/F# G A
    All in the terror of the moment
      D       D/F# G A
    That pounces as it open swings
      D       D/F# G  A
    A line of dots illu - mi - nated
      D      D/F# G    A
    For I have seen the speed of things


Verse 2:
G  A   D       D/F# G A
    I fed you in your chair this morning
      D       D/F# G A
    You made a mess of everything
      D       D/F# G A
    By afternoon, you drove a sports car
          D       D/F# G A
    You were driving at the speed of things

Verse 3:
G  A   D       D/F# G A
    You held my hand when I was crying
      D       D/F# G A
    You were allergic to bee stings
      D       D/F# G A
    I threw some earth onto your coffin
      D       D/F# G A
    And thought about the speed of things


Verse 4:
G  A   D       D/F# G A
    I kissed you by the clear, cold river
      D       D/F# G A
    I felt like I was growing wings
      D       D/F# G A
    But I grew horns and found another
      D       D/F# G A
    Oh, a girl to share the speed of things
      D       D/F# G A
    Oh, a girl to share the speed of things



Verse 5:
G  A   D       D/F# G A
    All in the terror of the moment
      D       D/F# G A
    That pounces as it open swings
      D       D/F# G A
    A line of dots illuminated
      D       D/F# G A
    For I have seen the speed of things
