Start Jamming...
Well, this has got to die.
I said, this has [G#m] got to stop.
[E]
This [F#m] has got to lie down
[F#]
[G#] with someone [Am] else on top.
[E] You can keep me pinned
because it's easier [G#m] to tease.
But [F#] you can't paint an elephant
quite as good as [Am] she.
[F#] [C]
[E] And she may cry
like [D#] a baby.
[C#m]
And [F#] she may [F#m] drive
[F#]
[Am]
me crazy
[E] cause I [A] am lately [F#] [A] lost.
[C#m] [G#m] [F#m]
[F#]
[B]
So why'd you [E] have to lie?
Take it on your crotch.
[G#m]
The pillow [F#m] in your [F#] pillowcase
is easier to [Am] talk.
[E]
[Am] And when you think you're sick
do you fall [G#m] upon your knees
[B] or do you [F#] sit within your picture?
Do you still [A] forget the breeze?
[Am] [C]
[B] [E] And she may rise
[C#m] if I sing you down.
[F#] And she may [F#m]
[F#] wisely
[Am]
cling to the ground
[E]
cause I
[E] [A]
am lately
So [G#m]
[F#m]
[B]
[B] [E]
where would
[A]
she take me?
[Em] [F#]
[F#m] [B]
[F#m]
You're a spoiled [Am]
soul
in the sand.
[F#m]
You're already [B]
dying.
[F#m]
Well, I could throw it out
and [B] I could live it up
and I could do it all for you.
I could be strong
[C#m] cause I'll be the one you love.
This [E] has got to die.
I said, this has got to stop.
[G#m]
[F#m] This has got to lie [F#] down.
[Am] With someone else on top
[A]
[F#] you [E] can both keep me pinned
cause it's [G#m] easier to tease
[Em] but you [B] can't make me happy
quite [Am] as good as me.
[C]
[A]
