this has got to die [E]
this has got to stop [G#m]
This has got to lie down [F#m]
With someone else on top [Am]
You can keep me pinned [E]
'Cause it's easier to tease [G#m]
But you can't paint an elephant [F#m]
Quite as good as she [Am]
And she may cry [E] like a baby [C#m]
And she may drive[F#m] me crazy [Am]
'Cause I [E] am lately [A]
Lo[F#m]nely[B]
Verse:
So why'd you have[E] to lie?
I take it I'm your crutch[G#m]
The pillow in your pillow case[F#m]
Is easier to touch[Am]
When you think you've sinned[E]
Do you fall upon your knees?[G#m]
Or just sit within your picture[F#m]
You still forget the breeze[Am]
Chorus:
And she may rise[E]
If I sing you down[C#m]
And she may wisely[F#m]
[Am]Cling to the ground
'Cause I[E] am lately[A]
Ho[F#m]rny[B]
So why[E] would she[A] take me ho[F#m]rny[B]?
[F#m]What's the point of this song?[Am]
Or even singing?
[F#m]You've already gone[B]
Why am I clinging?
[F#m]Well I could throw it out
And I could[B] live without
And I could do it all for you
I could be strong
[C#m]Tell me, do you want me to lie?[B]
Because this has got[E] to die
'Cause this has got to stop[G#m]
This has got to lie[F#m] down, down
With someone else on top[Am]
You can both[E] keep me pinned
'Cause it's easier to tease[G#m]
But you can't make me happy[F#m]
Quite as good as me[Am]...
(you know that's a lie)
