[Verse 1]
G#
It carried its home on its back
When it came saying
he was for me a spell could be good
C
could be bad
G#               B
(aaaah         aaah)

[Verse 2]
G#
Soak him in some water
And it will be good
Or wear him as a shirt for week
And call him by a name
C            G#
But bad if I burn him

G#             Bb
(aaaah         aaah)

[Chorus]
Bb         E
Don't stop now
         G#            F   C   G     D    A  E
I didn't know you'd be growing wings this is how
Bb   F      G    D  F
long you'll stay a- live
Eb     G#
Don't! Stop it!
C#              C        G#
You're my only friend yeah

[Verse 3]
G#
Right, so now I give your name "Baz"
How does that sound?
How is it so far?
             C  G#
Are you good to me yet?

B  G#

Or are you bad to me?
On a quiet night
Put him on the fire
There
There
                     C           G#
Only because I don't want him to burn
Elsewhere

G#             Bb
(aaaah         aaah)

[Chorus]
Bb         E
Don't stop now
         G#            F   C   G     D    A  E
I didn't know you'd be growing wings this is how
Bb   F      G    D  F
long you'll stay a- live
Eb     G#
Don't! Stop it!
C#              C        G#
You're my only friend yeah
