They Might Be Giants


Tom: Em

E          A       B
I've got a big old problem
E          A       B
I've got a big old problem
E          B       B
I've got a big old problem
A              B
Shape shifters all around


[Verse]
E            E7/D
Where did my world go?
A          Am
One minute everything is
E        A           E        A         E    A  E  A
Home and friends and New York Times and lawn
F#m
Beware the blob they said
Adim
How was I to know they meant the
Bsus4
UPS delivery man
Bsus4
The koi in the tank and the anchorwoman?


[Chorus]
E          A       B
I've got a big old problem
E          A       B
I've got a big old problem
E          A       C#m
I've got a big old problem
Bsus4               B
Shape shifters all around


[Bridge]
A              D
Shape shifter, shape shifter
C         G
You gotta quit that
A           D
Shifting of shapes
    C               G
I accepted what you were and then
Em         A
Everything changed
Em                  A
And I don't want to live in any
F#m
Place where the people are
Bsus4
Shifting their shapes


[Verse]
E              E7/D
They're such a liar
A             Am
They said the planet wouldn't
E   A        E          A    E    A   E   A
Undulate and then burst into flames
F#m
What used to be my house?
Adim
Is it that purple tentacle?
Bsus4
Or is that the TV repairman?
Bsus4
The clarinet? The vegetable stand?


[Chorus]
E          A       B
I've got a big old problem
E          A       B
I've got a big old problem
E          A       C#m
I've got a big old problem
Bsus4               B
Shape shifters all around


[Bridge]
A              D
Shape shifter, shape shifter
C         G
You gotta quit that
A           D
Shifting of shapes
    C               G
I accepted what you were and then
Em         A
Everything changed
Em                  A
And I don't want to live in any
F#m
Place where the people are
Bsus4
Shifting their shapes


[Chorus]
                   E
I've got a big old problem
                   E
I've got a big old problem
           A       C#m
I've got a big old problem
Bsus4
Shape shifters all around


[Verse]
          F#m
If you're someone I used to know
             Adim
I sure don't recognize you, so
Bsus4
I'm only hanging round amorphous mounds
Bsus4
In the town where nothing familiar can be found


[Chorus]
E          A       B
I've got a big old problem
E          A       B
I've got a big old problem
E          A       C#m
I've got a big old problem

Bsus4
Shape shifters all around (shape shifters all around)
Bsus4
Shape shifters all around (shape shifters all around)
Bsus4
Shape shifters all around (shape shifters all around)
Bsus4
