Loverman chords by Graham Parker
Verse 1
C
I can take those rip -rap
and get them out of your hair
Clean up your doorstep
and polish your chair
I can move your house
slightly to the left
Squeeze you till you're breathless
and breathe you full of breath
I can't the Zulus a point to their spears
I can't give the ledgers
a reason for their lives
I can't give the angels a need to be alive
I can't get the bees, baby,
buzzin' in their hive
G
I can't get you flying, baby,
F
higher than a kite
C
You know I can't, oh baby, I can't
G
I would stop my crying
F
C
if you'd only let me be your lover man,
your lover man
Well, the people that you hang with,
you know they're not my style
I'd like to sort of kill them
at least for a short while
They treat me like a lackey,
they call me a yob
They made me build their outhouse,
though they know that ain't my job
I know I seem edgy there,
that's just because I'm sharp
I know I could pluck you
like the strings of a harp
I know I seem jumpy,
but it's not amphetamine
It's just that certain parts of me
are getting out of line
G
I could press your buttons,
F
I could fly you like a kite
C
You know I can, oh baby I can
G
I've lookin' for you,
F
C
if you'd let me be your lover man
Lover man, just let me be your lover man,
baby, yeah
I know you don't think much of me,
these chicks you're attracted to
I'll make them look like monkeys
hanging up in Batuu
Cause I could charm the birds
right out of the sky
At least if they were flightless
and couldn't really fly
Did I tell you I was lucky?
Did I tell you I was charmed?
Did I tell you you'd look good, baby,
hanging up on my arm?
Did I tell you I had money
in a safe deposit?
Did I tell you last night I found Elvis
hanging up in my closet?
Well, maybe I'm boring you,
looks like you're bored
When hoods to be crucified
but it's best to be ignored
G
Well, I can get you flying, baby,
F
higher than a kite
C
F
C
You know I can, baby, I can
G
I would stop my cryin'
F
C
if you'd only let me be your lovin' man
Your lovin' man,
just let me be your lovin' man
Yeah, whoo -hoo -hoo
Outro 1
Yeah, whoo -hoo -hoo
C
Loverman
