"Guitar" lyrics - TRACEY THORN

Hey boy, you taught me my first song
The air was warm, the night was long
While Leonard Cohen sang Suzanne
We kissed and kissed but then you ran

The song was Teenager in Love
Oh God, you couldn't make it up
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
So you didn't even try

I wanted you
I watched you from afar
And I thought you were cool
Because you played guitar
But you were cool
You maybe still are
Thank God I could sing
And I had my guitar
I had my guitar

Hey boy, you armed me with three chords
And opened up the door
And though we kissed and kissed and kissed
You were nothing but a catalyst

I was taken in
I thought you were the star
Thank God I could sing
And I had my guitar
I couldn't begin
Until I fell apart
Thank God I could sing
And that was just the start

I thought it was you
I was wide of the mark
So heavy and new
I picked up my guitar
And started to sing
And opened up my heart
It was everything
I thank my lucky stars
Thank God for my guitar
Thank God for my guitar
