Lyrics
Pretty Guitar but No Strings Attached Doug Buche, copyright 2023
Intro...first verse:
C G Am
Ive been thinking about us, how we got to be where we are.
F G Am
Our relationship reminds me of a quiet guitar.
F
There are no strings attached.
G em Am
It's like an egg sitting there waiting to be hatched.
F G
It's like an itch that you can't reach. It never gets scratched.
Chorus:
Am F G E
I am wondering why she doesnt want people to know about us.
E Am D G
What is the secret she keeps? Who is it she thinks she cant trust?
G C D G
I see something torn and unraveling that never gets patched.
Am E7
Its like a pretty guitar...with no strings attached.
Bridge: Dm G7 Cm
If something is broken...please tell me Maam. You blocked me on facebook...then
A7 Dm G7 Cm A7
instagram. If you have a reason, dont leave it unsaid, help me get these bad
thoughts out of my head.
2ndVerse:
C G Am
When we go out in public...she is distant ...she only acts like a friend.
F G Am
You walks too far away. She wont hold my hand.
F
Theres no handle on this frying pan.
G E Am
Im walking on a high wire with no net to land.
F G
There are no strings attached. Am I not her man?
Chorus:
Am F G E
I keep wondering why she doesnt want people to know about us.
E Am D G
What is the secret she keeps? Who is it she thinks she cant trust?
G C D G
There is something torn and unraveling that never gets patched.
Am E7
Its like a pretty guitar...with no strings attached.
Final bridge and ending:
Dm G7 Cm A7
It is a puzzle undone with pieces missing a dangling thread that still needs fixing.
Its a faucet unfixed that keeps on dripping, an old-time movie...no intimate kissing.
You can take it with you...but no matter how far...there are not strings attached to this pretty guitar.
Alternate ending...on a different version.
female voice)
If he wants that guitar to have strings
he needs to think more of my need for the bling,
then maybe there will be rings attached.
