Tickle Me Pink

[Intro] C  Am  C  Am

C
Tickle me pink
Am
I'm rosy as a flushed red apple skin
C                             Am
Except I've never been as sweet
C
I've rolled around the orchard
Am
And found myself too awkward
C                               Am
And tickle me green I'm too naive

C
Pray for the people inside your head
E
For they won't be there when you're dead
Am
Muffled out and pushed back down
F
Pushed back through the leafy ground

( C  Am )

C
Time is too early
Am
My hair isn't curly
C                               Am
I wish I was home and tucked away
C
When nothing goes right
Am
And the future's dark as night
C                                Am
What you need is a sunny sunny day

C
Pray for the people inside your head
E
For they won't be there when you're dead
Am
Muffled out and pushed back down
F
Pushed back through the leafy ground

( C  Am )

C                            Am
Don't know where I can find myself a brand new pair of ears
C                                Am
Don't know where I can buy a heart
C
The one I've got is shoddy
Am
I need a brand new body
C                                   Am
And then I can have a brand new start

C
Pray for the people inside your head
E
For they won't be there when you're dead
Am
Muffled out and pushed back down
F
Pushed back through the leafy ground

( C  Am )

C
Monsters in the valley
Am
And shootings in the alley
C                                Am
And people fall flat at every turn
C
There is no straight and narrow
Am
Offload your wheelbarrow
C                                       Am
And pick up your sticks and twigs to burn

C
Pray for the people inside your head
E
For they won't be there when you're dead
Am
Muffled out and pushed back down
F
Pushed back through the leafy ground
