Eggshell Chords & Lyrics - Suzzy Roche

[INTRO]
[C] [F] [C] [Am] [C] [Am]

[VERSE 1]
I [C]live in an [Am]eggshell
[C]Sometimes,[Am] if I'm [Dm]careful
I can make a pinpoint through the [F]shell
Oh, oh, oh, oh, and see the [C]light [Am] [C] [Am]
[C]I [G]am [F]too [E7]big [F]to [E7]fit through the hole, though
[F]That's [C]my [F]tough luck [G] [C]

[VERSE 2]
Inside an [Am]eggshell [C] [Am]
I am se[Dm]cure
Long as I'm careful (take [F]care)
Oh, oh, oh, oh,[C] not to move[Am] [C] [Am]
But [C]I have no control over what [Am]happens from the outside
I [Dm]huddle there, worry about something I can't[F] see
Oh, oh, oh, oh,[C] will bump into me [Am] [C] [Am]

[VERSE 3]
[F]When it does, you [Am]wouldn't believe what [G]happens in an eggshell [Am]then
I get [Dm]scrambled, my [C]brains [G]run [C]like [G]bean [C]soup [G]in[C]to [G]my [F]veins
[C]Bursting them and [G/B]my [F]blood [Dm]spatters up against the [F]wall
Worst of [C]all [Am] [C] [Am]
A [Dm7]little bit of me seeps through cracks and [Em]trickles away,[F] for[Dm7]ever

[VERSE 4]
[G]People who [E7]live [F]in [E7]eggshells have only [Dm]one [C]al[F]terna[Dm7]tive [G] [C] [Am] [C]
They can [Am]get hard [Dm]boiled [G] [Dm] [F]
Hard,[Am] hard [C]boiled [Am] [C] [Am] [C]
