The Roches - Stop Performing

      The Roches - Stop Performing


CAPO: 2nd Fret



[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]

The very mention of your name
       C         G
And we hear your voice
             Eb
And when you danced
   G     C            D
We came, clapping, no choice


[Verse 2]
G        D7
I, in my dress
       G7         Eb
And my man in his pants
G    D    G    C  G
Yes, yes, yes


[Verse 3]

You have slurped up the moon 
          C      G
With your mouth
           Eb          
And you've sent
        G            C       D
All the loons flying south


[Verse 4]
G               D7
There's no more room
       G7         Eb
In the spaces you went
G     D     G     C  G
Boom, boom, boom


[Bridge]
E 
Stop performing, won't you? 
  A    G F#m Em   D
Before I die laughing


[Verse 5]
E              Bm  A
Please, please sit still
D                      G               Eb
Listen to the sound of space you won't fill
G
With your many talents
C         G                       D7
Gallantly streaming tears down my cheeks


[Verse 6]
   G7           Eb            G
Oh stop, please stop before I die
            D7              G   D
I'd love to see you stop performing
         G
Before I die
