{title:Conversation Piece}
{subtitle:David Bowie}
I [[Am]]took this walk to ease my [[G]] mind
To find out what's gnawing at me [[F]]
Wouldn't think, to look at me,
that I've [[Am]]spent a lot of time in education
[[G]] It all seems so long ago
I'm a [[Am]]thinker, not a talker
[[G]]I've no-one to talk to, anyway
I [[Am]]can't see the road
for the [[G]]rain in my [[F]]eyes
[[Am]]Ahhh,[[G]]ahhh,[[F7]]ah,[[F]]ah.
I [[Am]]live above the grocers [[G]]store,
owned by an [[F]]Austrian
He often calls me down to eat
And he [[Am]]jokes about his broken English,
[[G]]tries to be a friend to me
But for [[Am]]all my years of reading conversation,
[[G]]I stand without a word to say
I [[Am]]can't see the bridge
for the [[G]]rain in my [[F]]eyes
[[Am]]Ahhh,[[G]]ahhh,[[F7]]ah,[[F]]ah.
And the [[Am]]world is full of [[G]]life
Full of folk who don't know [[F]]me
And they walk in twos or threes or more
While the [[Am]]light that shines above the grocers store
[[G]]investigates my face so rudely
And my [[Am]]essays lying scattered on the floor
[[G]]Fullfil their needs just by being there
And my hands shake, my head hurts,
my voice sticks inside my [[F7]]throat
I'm [[Am]]invisible and [[G]]dumb,
no-one will recall [[F]]me
And I [[Am]]can't see the water
through the [[G]]tears in my [[F]]ey-y-yes
