Вступление
[Intro]
Em C
You think I just stand here and watch your ride?
G Dadd11
That's not all there's so much more than meets the eye.
Em C
So now you return with that big sigh,
G Dadd11
Handing me a two when I at least deserved a five,
At least deserved a five.
[Verse]
Em
I can't tell you what I go through, I can only promise I'll protect you.
C
In this job, the responsibility is so huge.
G
I can't leave, gotta keep your vehicle within sight,
Dadd11
No matter what happens I'll protect it with my own life.
Em
Look at this vest, this is your seal of quality
C
Your car it is safe when it's with me, this I garuantee
G
So when you inside, busy shopping for your groceries,
Dadd11
Just know that I'm hard at work to help you keep you mid at ease.
Em
When you' working on the street, the times are tough.
C G
When things get rough, you rise above. It is my duty to keep any form of danger, at arm's length
Dadd11
Come rain or shine, I will protect within my own strength.
Em C
When I put on this vest, I'm like a superhero fighting crime.
This is my job, I do not do this part time.
G Dadd11
Even though sometimes you gotta be prepared to put your body on the line (on the line).
[Chorus]
Em C
You think I just stand here and watch your ride?
G Dadd11
That's not all there's so much more than meets the eye.
Em C
So now you return with that big sigh,
G Dadd11
Handing me a two when I at least deserved a five,
Em C
At least deserved a five,
G Dadd11 (Half-bar)
At least deserved a five.
(Abrupt pause)
[Verse 2]
Em C
You ever love something so much, you work so hard to make it happen.
Protecting cars is in my blood, it is my passion.
G
After school I knew exactly what I should be,
Dadd11
So I followed my dreams, I went to UCG.
Em
I studies so hard, the nights were long.
C
Quitting was the easy way out, but I stayed strong.
G
Graduation day came, I was on top of the world.
Dadd11
The streets were my oyster and the car was my pearl.
Em
But it isn't all fun and it isn't all games.
C
You get your hands dirty earning people's spare change.
G
Sometimes you get silver and sometimes you get bronze
Dadd11
Other times you catch the people's car-and the people are gone.
Em
So many close calls, that go unseen,
C
So many different kinds of people always treating you mean.
G
I keep your car safe, man is that such a crime
Dadd11
But still you say you got no cash, you'll pay me next time.
[Chorus]
Em C
I stand here and watch you drive
G Dadd11
Left here emty-handed, I won't let you see me cry.
Em C
Tired of rejection, my hope runs dry.
G Dadd11
Lost all motivation, don't know why I even tried.
Em C
Why do I even try?
G Dadd11 (half bar)
Why do I even try?
(abrupt pause)
Uh, uh,
[Verse 3]
(CG King):
Em C
Yo brother, what's the problem? Why have you taken off your vest?
Are you quitting? I heard you were one of the best.
(CG):
G
It's hopeless-every day these people treat me the same.
Dadd11
They do not show any appreciation for my trade.
(CG King):
Em
Well should I call the pity police at the nearest phone booth?
C
Or are you gonna listen as I spit you some truth?
G
Look at me, dawg. I'm the Car-Guard King.
Dadd11
Do you think I earned this title sitting down and crying?
Em
You gotta recognise: no pain, no gain.
C
I' got five-Rands hanging from my neck and my chain.
G
I got to where I am through hard work and lots of pride
Dadd11
(And it doesn't hurt to sell a little coke on the side).
(CG:)
Em
Wait, what did you say?
(CG King):
Hard work and Pride.
(CG:)
C
No, you said something about
(CG King):
G
Nevermind that now. I think my work here is done
Dadd11
So pick up your vest, your journey has begun.
(abrupt stop)
You can finish the Rest. Uh.
[Chorus]
Em C
How can I have been so blind?
G Dadd11
Thoes epic words of wisdom hit me right between the eyes.
Em C
This is my message to all mankind:
G Dadd11
When you're not around your car is safe within my sight,
Em C
Safe within my sight,
G Dadd11 (half bar)
Safe within my sight.
(abrupt stop)
