Tom: A
A
Throw on that old song
F#m
Its unchanged melody could calm you just like me
A
Throw in some dancing
F#m
The familiar rhythm clears up that schism
D A
But he refuses, makin' excuses
[Verse 1]
A
You let your hair down, kick off your heels now
F#m
Boxing the moonlight 'till the sunrise taps you out
A
Your hips take in rhythm, bare feet in precision
F#m
Sillouhette in constant motion spinning a web to get his attention
D
And he refuses, makin' excuses
A
He won't get down, no no no no no
[Pre-Chorus]
D
I can't move to this song, I always move it wrong
Bm E Bm E
I should be gone, I should be running along
[Chorus]
A F#m
No, I got work in the morning
C#m D
Think I ate something with poison
A F#m D
I'm hearing voices, I chipped my front tooth
E
I am telling the truth
A
I'm not makin' excuses!
F#m
I know it's alarming
C#m D
I think I've come down with something
A F#m D
These are not ruses, I'm not telling lies, I might die
E A
I'm not makin' excuses!
[Verse 2]
A
You got no time to mend, got enough lemons
F#m
That he planted in his kisses when he thought you weren't paying attention
A
He's drinking milk so sour, getting boring by the hour
F#m
Sillouhette in constant motion spinning a web with tired affection
A
Go in with movement
F#m
A stiff stiletto wil move repetto
D
And it's so fleeting, bears repeating
A
I think you're making it up, think you're making it up
[Pre-Chorus]
D
I can't move to this song, I always move it wrong
Bm E Bm E
I should be gone, I should be running along
[Chorus]
A F#m
No, I got work in the morning
C#m D
Think I ate something with poison
A F#m D
I'm hearing voices, I chipped my front tooth
E
I am telling the truth
A
I'm not makin' excuses!
F#m
I know it's alarming
C#m D
I think I've come down with something
A F#m D
These are not ruses, I'm not telling lies, I might die
E A
I'm not makin' excuses!
A F#m
No, I got work in the morning
C#m D
Think I ate something with poison
A F#m D
I'm hearing voices, I chipped my front tooth
E
I am telling the truth
A
I'm not makin' excuses!
F#m
I know it's alarming
C#m D
I think I've come down with something
A F#m D
These are not ruses, I'm not telling lies, I might die
E A
I'm not makin' excuses!
