More than you Bargained For
a jazzy number featuring Roger Brawn on acoustic guitar
Nailing my colours to the mast here...
words and music by Martin Stirrup 2016
D Bm G
I like a quiet life with arguments
D Bm G
I like to take things easy no fuss
Bm A
But don’t take this passivity
G
For easy vulnerability
A A2/4 A A2/4 A
Try to take some advantage, I’ll suss
You don’t have to act hard to be solid
A wry smile can hide inner poise
No need for outpourings
Secure in your moorings
Empty vessels make the loudest noise
G A D
So don’t try your pushing and shoving
G A D
Though it may take time to get my goat
G A
I may smile for some minutes
F#m Bm
But don’t overstep your limits
A A2/4…. all the way up
Back me in a corner and I’ll go for your throat
Don’t you think there’s enough trouble in this world
Without going searching for more
Though I may not flaunt it
You throw down that gauntlet
You’ll get more than you bargained for..
D A D
You’ll get more than you bargained for
featuring Roger Brawn on lead guitar
