Im Allowed

Em Am Waited for an answer Am/B C G G/F# Cause I waited twenty-five years Em Am They stopped my bleeding Am/B C G G/F# But could never stop all those tears Em Am Waiting for the day when Am/B C G G/F# You came out from beneath all that weight Em Am I've tried to lift it Am/B C G Am C But it seems I got there too late G Am C Just too late G Am C Just too late G Am C I'm allowed G - G/F# Came to the party But I got my own signals crossed Thought I was welcome But I felt like I should get lost Know that I'm older 'Cause I feel that everywhere I could talk to no one 'Cause I knew not one person there No one's there They just stared 'Cause they're allowed As vivid as a car-wreck Watch them dripping off highway ramps She came to me smiling With her heart underneath both her hands She spoke of a French boy At least two times through the night It could have been the liquor Or the music, but that is alright That's alright She's allowed I'm allowed I'm allowed I'm allowed __,--- ,,, / \ 'She makes the sign of a teaspoon > [email protected] | He makes the sign of a wave' ``` \__ / --Paul Simon `---
