Crying For Attention — Graham Parker

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? Precious things come in my path Like new clothes for me to try on In the end they make me laugh 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? 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 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 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
