The Want of a Nail Lyrics & Tabs by Todd Rundgren
The Want of a Nail
guitar chords lyrics
I? ve been wrong, I had plans so big
But the devil? s in the details
I left out one thing no one to love me
No one to love me, no one to love
For the want of a nail, the world was lost
For the want of a nail, the world was lost, yeah
World was lost, world was lost
Yeah, for the want of a nail, the shoe was lost
For the want of a shoe, the horse was lost
For the want of a horse, the rider was lost
For the want of a rider, the message was lost
For the want of a nail, the world was lost
For the want of a nail, the world was lost
World was lost, world was lost
For the want of a rider, the message was lost
For the want of a nail, the world was lost
World was lost, world was lost
For the want of a rider, the message was lost
For the want of a message, the battle was lost
For the want of a battle, the war was lost
For the want of a war, the kingdom was lost
For the want of a nail, the world was lost
For the want of a nail, the world was lost
World was lost, world was lost
I? ve been wrong, I had plans so big
But the devil? s in the details
I left out one thing, no one to love me
No one to love me, no one, no one to love me
I said no one to love
You? re askin?, "What? s all this talk about horses and war?"
Put yourself in the place of the man at the forge
Day after day you live a life without love
? Til the morning you can? t take it anymore and you don? t get up
Multiply it a billion times spread it all? round the world
Put the curse of loneliness on every boy and every girl
Until everybody? s kicking, everybody? s scratching
Everything seems to fail and it was all for the want of a nail
Tell me what else could the answer be, oh yeah
Don? t hold back now
For the want of a nail, the world was lost
World was lost
World was lost
World was lost
