Wrapped Around Your Finger

Words & Music:

Sting

 

Am           G/A    Em7     Am      Em7

You consider me the young apprentice

Am                 G/A    Esus    Am    Em7

Caught between the Scylla and Charybdis.

Am            G/A    Em7      Am      Em7

Hypnotized by you if I should linger.

Am             G/A    Esus      Am      Em7

Staring at the ring around your finger.

 

I have only come here seeking knowledge.

Things they would not teach me of in college.

I can see the destiny you sold.

Turned into a shining band of gold.

 

CHORUS:

G                           FM7

I'll be wrapped around your finger.

G                           FM7

I'll be wrapped around your finger.

 

Em   Dm7   Am   Em7   Am   Em7   Am   Em7   Am   Em7

 

Mephistopheles is not your name.

I know what you're up to all the same.

I will listen hard to your tuition.

You will see it come to its fruition.

 

CHORUS:

 

Devil and the deep blue sea behind me.

Vanish in the air you'll never find me.

I will turn your face to alabaster.

Then you'll find your servant is your master.

 

You'll be wrapped around my finger.

You'll be wrapped around my finger.

You'll be wrapped around my finger.

 

Em   Dm7   Am   Em7   Am
