Guitar - Tracey Thorn

Hey boy you taught me my first song

The air was warm and I was young

While Leonard Cohen sang Susanne

We kissed and kissed but then you ran

The song was Teenager in Love

Oh God, you couldn’t make it up

Hey that’s no way to say goodbye

So you didn’t even try

I wanted you, I watched you from afar

And I thought you cool, because you played guitar

Bet you were cool, maybe still are

Thank God I could sing and I had my guitar

Oh I had my guitar

Hey boy you only used three chords and opened up the door

And though we kissed and kissed and kissed

You were nothing but a catalyst

I was taken in, I thought you were the star

Thank God I could sing and I had my guitar

I couldn’t begin, until I fell apart

Thank God I could sing and that was just the start

I thought it was you, I was wide-eyed and marked

So heavy and new, I picked up my guitar

And started to sing and opened up my heart

It was everything, I thank my lucky stars

Thank God for my guitar

Thank God for my guitar
