Owen Pallett: Lewis Takes Off His Shirt 

D				
As soon as I got on the horse, I forgot about the math.
G				      Bm				A
Forgot about the odds against an adolescent standing up to all of Owen's wrath.
D		
The heat of prairie summer, impossible to take.
G				Bm				
I grab the hem and lift the fabric over my sweet head.
A
I know what you're looking for, and 
D
I'm never gonna give it to you.
F#m
I'm never gonna give it to you.
Em			       A
I'm never gonna give it to you.
D
I'm never gonna give it to you.
F#m
I'm never gonna give it to you.
Em			       A
I'm never gonna give it to you.

D
Government rule established by a dazzling light show.
G				Bm				  A
A hegemony armoured with a thousand-watt head and seven inches of echo.
D			
I keep up my velocity, my spurs are in her sides.
G				Bm			
I don't know what I'm doing, and it is the only way.
A
Toward the range I'll ride, singing, 
D
I'm never gonna give it to you.
F#m
I'm never gonna give it to you.
Em			       A
I'm never gonna give it to you.
D
I'm never gonna give it to you.
F#m
I'm never gonna give it to you.
Em			       A
I'm never gonna give it to you.

D
"I am overrated," said the sculptress to the sea.
G					  Bm
"I've been praised for all the ways the marble leaves the man,
	        A
And I was wrong to try and free him."
D			
And as for me, I am a vector, I am muscle, I am bone.
G					Bm
The sun upon my shoulders and the horse between my legs,
A
This is all I know.

D	
My senses are bedazzled by the parallax of the road.
G		  Bm			A
I concentrate to keep contained the overflow.
D		
My knuckles grip so tightly, my fingers start to bleed.
G		Bm			A
If what I have is what you need,
D
I'm never gonna give it to you.
F#m
I'm never gonna give it to you.
Em			       A
I'm never gonna give it to you.
D
I'm never gonna give it to you.
F#m
I'm never gonna give it to you.
Em			       A
I'm never gonna give it to you.
