Coyote You
© 2003 Bryan Masters
G
It's a small town
D
I see you everywhere,
Am C
but I still don't know your name
G
So I ask 'round
D
it gets me nowhere, but I'm
Am C
wondering just the same
Em
'Bout an odd-looking girl
Am
in her own little world
C D
on an old lady paperboy bike
Em
And my friends can't recall
Am
if they've seen you at all
C D
but I think we may be alike
G
Everywhere I go
D
I see your face
C Am D
And then you're gone again without a trace
G D
leaving behind your strange perfume
C
in the air
Am
but you're not there
G D C D
you coyote you
I'm no wallflower,
but when I try to address you
I freeze like a freshman fool
my mouth turns sour
and I guess God will bless
the exception that proves the rule
that even a guy brave
as me can turn shy
when he's finally met his match
but a match may go out
when the winds get too stout
and my wits are too scattered to fetch
Em
At the bookstore
Am
on the dance floor
C D
at the grocery near my home
Em
at the gallery
Am
my meager salary
F
wagers that you'd prefer
D G D C Am
you weren't leaving alone
This is madness
When I see you again
I swear I'll begin to unwind
the quiet sadness
I see there under your skin
don't know what I expect to find
I guess I'll take a chance
on this gentle advance
perfect time for a perfect surprise
though I may make too much
of this middle-aged crush
I can see through your clever disguise
