[A]
[F#m] [F#] [E]
[A] [G#m] [A]
[F#m] [E]
Thinking [C#m] outrageously, I write in [A] cursive
I hide in my bed [F#m] with the lights on the floor
[E]
Wearing three layers [C#m] of coats and leg [A] warmers
I see my own wrath [F#m] on the face of the door
[E]
Oh, [C#m] I am not quite [A] sleeping
Oh, [F#] I am [F#m] fast in [E] bed
There on the wall [C#m] in the bedroom [A] creeping
I see a moss [F#] with her [F#m] wings [E] outstretched
[F#]
[A] [E]

[B] [A]
[G#m] [A] [E]
[B] [A]
[E]
North of Savannah [C#m] we swim in the [A] phthalocytes
I come out wearing [F#m] my brother's red [E] hat
There on his shoulder [A] my best friend is bit
Seven times he runs washing [F#m] his face in his [E] hands
Oh, [G#m] how I meant to tease [A] him
Oh, [F#m] how I meant no harm
[E]
Touching his back with my hand I kiss [A] him
I see the wasp [F#] on the length of my arm
[G#] [E] [B]
[A] [B] [A]
[E] [F#m] [C#m] [B]
[A] [B] [A] [E]
From great sights, come from [A] this way
[E] I'm in love first night and reverse [A] way
[E] I'm in love, in love
I'm so [A] crazy, [E] I'm so crazy
I'm in love, not asleep, never [A] sleep, sleeping late, [E] I'm in
Oh,
[C#m]
[E] you're in my [F#]
heart, I can see [A] you're in my heart
[E] I'm in love, in [F#] love
I'm so [A] crazy, I'm [E] so crazy
I'm in love, not asleep, [A] never sleep, sleeping late, [E] I'm in
I [B] can't explain the state that I'm in
The state of [A] my heart, he was my best [E] friend
Into [B] the car, from [E] the backseat
Oh, [A] admiration and falling [E]
asleep
All [B] of my powers, day [E] after day
I [A] can tell you, we swaggered and [E] swayed
Deep [G#m] in the tower, the prairies below
I [A] can tell you, the telling [E] gets old
[G#m] Terrible states, and [E] terrible storm
I [A] can tell you, the day [E] we were born
My friend is gone, he ran away
I [A] can tell you, [E] I love him each day
Though we [B] have [E] sparred, wrestled and raged
I can [A] tell you, I love [E] him each day
[B] Terrible states, [E] and terrible storm
I can tell [C#] you
[B] [Em]
