Songtexte: Graham Parker. Crying for Attention.

Pre>intro f#m e a (3 times then d)

(d) a e a
Can you hear me?
D a e a d
Baby can you hear me?
A e a
Who do you think I'm talking to?
D a e a d
Is there anyone else near me?
F#m
Precious things come in my path
Like new clothes for me to try on
In the end they make me laugh
E
In the beginning they are something to rely on

Chorus
A e d
I'm not crying for attention baby
A e d
I'm not crying for attention baby
A e d e
I'm not crying for attention I'm screaming to be heard
D a e a d
Everybody's listening but you

(d) a e a
What's the matter?
D a e a d
Well there is no need to flatter
A e a
How do I get you to take notice?
D a e a d
Do I have to break and shatter?

F#mm
When I feel that I am driven
Over the edge where it's all hidden
I hang my head and hit a table or a chair
E
I know my place I just can't stay there

Chorus

Bridge

Dm a dm a
It's your loving example I need to receive
Dm a e
I need more than a handful give it to me

A a d a e a d
Hey sometimes everybody has to be the centre of attraction
A e a d a e a d
But I i I i never expect any satisfaction
A d a d a d
And I'm not crying I'm not crying I'm not crying
E
Not crying for attention

Chorus
I'm not crying for attention
Baby I'm not crying for attention
Don't even say I am I'm not crying
