Tom: Am
C Cdim
I could drown myself in metaphor
F Fm Em
I could crown your head and catch the floor
Am7 F
Lookin' up at a yellow girl
Fdim C
She won't cut me free of her Vanilla Curls
[Verse 1]
Cdim F
I'm tied up in her shy and fair-haired fairy prison
Fm Em
I thought that I was high, but I had barely risen
Am C
Equipped with private eyes, her stare declared me missing
Fdim C
Tried to talk myself out of it, but I never listen
C Cdim F Fm Em Am F Fdim
[Pre-Chorus]
C B
Two pairs of bare feet sneak out bearing secret care
F Dm
Scared to make a scene, but can't bare to let it be
Em C
One stairwell love affair pairs well with twenty beers
D G
Can you carry my care dear?
[Chorus]
C B7 F E7
What will it taaaaaake?
Em G F G
Was this a Mistake?
C B F E7
I'm paying the priiiiiiiiiice
Em G F G
For those velvet eyes
[Interlude]
C B F Fm7
[Verse 2]
Em G
In a minute she already put my feelings in their place
C G7 C
I hate vegetables, but I'd put that stringbean on my plate
B F Fm
Em C C
She caught me by the ear and left me lying here in writhing fear
G7
If I get any deeper, I might need diving gear
[Interlude]
C B F Fm
[Verse]
Em C C
Instant kindred inhibition, a kiss then distance
G7
It isn't over, lets call it:
An infinite intermission
[Pre-Chorus]
C B
Two pairs of bare feet sneak out bearing secret care
F Fm
Scared to make a scene, but can't bare to let it be
Em A
If I'm a bitter cold, then you're the remedy
D G
Can you carry my care dear?
[Chorus]
C B7 F E7
What will it taaaaaake?
Em G F G
Was this a Mistake?
C B F E7
I'm paying the priiiiiiiiiice
