They Might Be Giants


Tom: Em

Intro:  Telephone and Backwards Message )

Verse 1:
            Em   Am   Em                Am  D  Am  
I'll sink Manhattan,     right under the sea
                Am               B               Em  Am  Em  
I'll find the sweetest spot to watch as it goes away
             Em   Am   Em                Am  D  Am  
You were so happy with the things that you said
                Am               B               Em  Am  Em  
Like "he's my lower half" you laughed, but you're gonna cry


Chorus:
            F                                   Em   
A river of tiny tears flow from your crocodile eyes
             B                                 D  
Too late to apologize, I say, as flood waters rise


Verse 2: 
I'll sink Manhattan, I'll sacrifice friends  
I think they'd understand my plan - I'll never be sure  
I've got a message, so before I get through 
I'll find your answering machine and I'll sink it first


Chorus:   
             F                                       Em
Burn your forget-me-nots - admit that true love can die
             B                                 Em   Am    Em
No I won't apologize my love just kiss me goodbye
