CHORUS
Bm7 E
Donkey talk
Bm7 E
I can hear the donkey talk
Em
Words chained out in a line
F# Am G F
Loads of reason not much rhyme
Em Am G F
Finger drumming beats behind
Em Am G C
Donkey talk most of the time
VERSE
Bm
The conversation peters out
E
So you stare down at your shoes
D
There's not much more to talk about
Bm A
When the silence is confused
G
Then our eyes suddenly meet
C D
And we choose to look away
E
That's just where we are today
(CHORUS)
VERSE
There's no sense in hanging round
But we stand there all the same
You find a verb I pluck a noun
As the patience starts to strain
Then our words suddenly clash
As if there's so much to say
That's just where we are today
(CHORUS)
MIDDLE 8
F C/E
We used to stay up all night
Dm G C
With our eyes all bloodshot and wonky
Cm
We would hold each other tight
G/D G C
And talk the back legs off a donkey
G
But now I'm wearing its hat
Dm Fm
We can't even laugh at that
(CHORUS)
