Emotional Chords & Lyrics - Paul Kelly (australia)

[F] [C] [Dm] [C]

The days are getting colder
They stretch before me all in a line
Each night gets a little bit longer
And these stars that once were strange now I call mine
[Am]Oh, it's[G] been so [C]long sinc[Dm]e I saw he[G]r face
And I just can't find my way out of this place
I [F]took the law into my hands
You'd do th[C]e same from where I stand
But the [F]punishment here is [C]much worse than the c[Dm]rime
I g[C]uess I get a little [F]emotional some[C]times

Each night I light a candle
And I get down on my knees and I pray
My home in ashes I can handle
But not to see my loved ones losing their way
If my tongue sounds lame please don't turn away
Don't you see I'm losing it a little bit every day
If you let yourself understand
I'll give you my heart and hands
Or else the punishment will be much worse than the crime
I know I get a little emotional sometimes
Do you blame me if I get a little emotional sometimes?
Don't act so surprised if I get a little emotional sometimes
