INFO:
They repeat throughout the song, Alex usually mutes the first string (e) while playing,
but you can play it if you like. I added chords for the verses too, just in case you want
to play it acoustically (Alex doesn't play chords in the verses in the album version).
If you want to play it acoustically: for the verses you can either strum the chord just
once and let it ring OR you can strum very lightly (double time of 4/4) and in slower
tempo with your thumb and index, sounds better. And as for the chorus, the strumming is
double time of 4/4, just a little bit stronger, just feel the song you will figure the
rest out.
[Verse]
E
Pussyfooting, setting sun
A
Make a wish that weighs a tonne
E
There are no handles for you to hold
A
And no understanding where it goes
E A
E
Jealousy in technicolour
A
Fear by name, love by numbers
E
Street lamp amber, wanderlust
A
Powder in a blunderbuss
[Chorus]
E
She looks as if she's blowing a kiss at me
And suddenly the sky is a scissor
A
Sitting on the floor with a tambourine
Crushing up a bundle of love
E
Don't take it so personally
You're not the only one
A
That time has got it in for, honey
That's where you're wrong
E A
[Verse]
E
All the old flames fastened on
A
Make a wish that weighs a tonne
E
There are no handles you can hold
A
And no understanding where it goes
[Solo]
E A
[Chorus]
E
She looks as if she's blowing a kiss at me
And suddenly the sky is a scissor
A
Sitting on the floor with a tambourine
Crushing up a bundle of love
E
Don't take it so personally
You're not the only one
A
That time has got it in for, honey
That's where you're wrong
E A
That's where you're wrong
E
That's where you're wrong
A E A E (Strum once to end)
Ooohh
