G G D C Em You speak to me in sign language D Em As I'm eatin' a sandwich in a small cafe C G At a quarter to three. But I can't respond to your sign language. You're taking advantage, bringing me down Can't you make any sound? 'Twas there by the bakery, surrounded by fakery Tell her my story, still I'm still there Does she know I still care?
[instr. verse, followed by a verse sung by Dylan]
Link Wray was playin' on a jukebox I was payin' For the words I was sayin' so misunderstood He didn't do me no good. You speak to me in sign language As I'm eatin' a sandwich in a small cafe At a quarter to three. But I can't respond to your sign language. You're taking advantage, bringing me down Can't you make any sound?
