C#m But look here, until then F#m They're gonna buy your nice time A F#m So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters B To the day. E You come in doing cartwheels B We all go out by ourselves E And your shape on the dance floor B Will have me thinking such filth and gauge my eyes. C#m A You'd be damned to be one of us girl C#m A Faced with a dodo's conundrum E F#m A Ah, I felt like I could just fly G#m B But nothing'll happen every time I try. Woo ooo, Woo ooo E C#m F#m A dual tone under wall, selfish fool and hoped you'd save us all A F#m E Never dreamt of such sterile hands, C#m You keep them folded in your lap, F#m And raise them up to beg for scraps, A F#m You know, he's holding you down, With the tips of his fingers B just the same, E You'll be pulled from the ocean, B But just a minute too late, E Or changed by a potion, B We'll find a handsome young mate, For you to love. C#m A You'll be damned to pining through the windowpanes, C#m A You know you'll change your life for any ordinary Joe, E F#m A And though your night will go on, G#m B Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold. e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---9---10---12--10—12h10---9----------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------11--11--9--11-----------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------9--------------9--------9-----------------------------------| G|---------9---------11-------------11------11---9--------------------------| D|---9-11--------------------11---------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|--------9-----------------------------------------------------------------| B|----12---10----12---9-10-9------9-----------------------------------------| G|----------------------------11--------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---9----11--------9-------------------9-8-----8---------------------------| D|-------------13--------11--------11-------11----11------------------------| A|----------------------------11----------------------11-12-----------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----9-------9-------9-------9---------------------9------11---------------| D|-----11h9----11h9----11h9------9h11h9----11h9h11----11--------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| E B Been in love since you were twenty-one, E B You haven't laughed since January, E B You try and make this up this is so much fun, E B But we know it to be quite contrary.
