Chords and lyrics for Conversation Piece by David Bowie
G
D
G
I
too
D
k this walk to ease my mind
Am
To find out what’s gnawing at me
C
Wouldn’t think to look at me,
G
D
that I’ve spent
A
lot of time in education
C
It all seems so long ago
G
I
D
‘m a thinker, not a talker
C
I’ve no-one to talk to, anyway
I
G
can
F
‘t see the road
f
C
or
the
G
rain in my eyes
G
Ahh
F
h
.
C
..
G
I liv
D
e above the grocers store,
Am
owned by an Austrian
C
He often calls me down to eat
G
An
D
d he jokes about his broken English,
C
tries to be
A
friend to me
G
Bu
D
t for all my years of reading conversation,
C
I stand without
A
word to say
I c
G
an’
F
t see the bridge
f
C
or the rain
G
in my eyes
A
A
nd the
E
world is full of life
Bm
Full of folk who don’t know me
D
And they walk in twos or threes or more
A
While
E
the light that shines above the grocer’s store
D
Investigates my face so rudely
A
An
E
d my essays lying scattered on the floor
D
Fulfill their needs just by being there
A
A
nd
E
my hands shake, my head hurts,
my v
D
oice
A
sticks inside my throat
I
A
‘m
in
E
visible and dumb,
And
D
no-on
A
e will recall me
A
A
nd I can
G
‘t see the water
f
C
or the tea
E
rs
A
in my ey-y-yes
