A Firm Kick Uke tab by John Frusciante

A                E
A firm kick in the pants
             Bm       D             E
This last chance to get things right

A                  E             Bm
This was one time I closed an eye
     D              E
Looked away from you

F#m
Look out for yourself tonight
D
Sometimes I have to get things right

A       E            Bm         F#m
I never meant what I said to you
A                  E               Bm      F#m
To give up all the things that you love to do

A         E             Bm            F#m
I'd never guess that you'd do me wrong
A            E         Bm        F#m
I'll never accept that dance and song

A                  E
A little time to adjust
         Bm   D           E
Would be just what we need

A                           E                     Bm
I've meant to tell you what I think that you think
     D                E
When I cross your mind

F#m
Forgone, stressed at the light
D
Whats wrong with being uptight

A       E           Bm       F#m
I never say what I intend to
A           E         Bm      F#m
But does it mean that much to you

A           E           Bm            F#m
I'd a close call with a glitch in time
A              E          Bm    F#m
Are you really that happy to be mine

E                D
No I'm not disguising
E            D
All that fighting
E                 D
And dreams not coming true

(solo backing = F#m C# E B F#m C# E B)

F#m         C#   E              B
I will play some light from the sun
F#m      C#        E       B
The world by my side

F#m         C#   E      B
I will see dawn as a forlorn
F#m     C#     E   B
maiden in the sky

F#m             C# E         B
And I will play a song of thunder
F#m      C#    E    B
you may recognize

F#m          C#   E         B
You make a never, thats forever
F#m          C#  D     E
Knowing what you deny

A               E                 Bm
When I revisit the past its a blast
          D            E
I've just gotta move on

A                    E                 Bm
I've just let down someone I relied on
    D             E
And I dont see why

F#m
How'd we pretty up that speech
D
M City talking through me

A          E            Bm          F#m
I've never done what I set out to do
A             E            Bm       F#m
Don't come to me 'cuz I'll run from you

A           E            Bm          F#m
Left out of life would I really care
A           E                    Bm     F#m
Not a whole lot, there's nothing for me there

E              D       E                D
I'll never forget the limits that we set
E                D
Back when it was our moon



      E               D        E                   D
And I never made a pretence of living with good sense
 E                 D        F#m
It's really not my strong suit
