[Verse 1]
          GThere's (320003@1)a word for that
    D (xx0232@1)             GBut (320003@1)I don't seem to know it
    Cadd9 (x32030@1)        G (320003@1)               D (xx0232@1)             GSometimes (320003@1)I grow a moustache just so I don't have to show it
(G)
The word for that
     Cadd9That (x32030@1)someone,somewhere chose
         Dsus4 (xx0233@1)                                     GFor (320003@1)that little dented skin between my upper lip and nose

[Chorus]
Cadd9 (x32030@1)     Dsus4 (xx0233@1)  G (320003@1) There's a word for that
     Em7       Cadd9What (x32030@1)does it start with?
  Dsus4 (xx0233@1)  GA (320003@1)word for that
    Em7        Cadd9 (x32030@1)  Dsus4 (xx0233@1)GI'd (320003@1)sound so smart if I only   knew
    Em7       Cadd9The (x32030@1)word for that
   Dsus4 (xx0233@1)  GPerhaps (320003@1)you do?
N.C.
(The word you're looking for is philtrum)

[Verse 2]
There's a word for that
It may come to me soon
It dangles down in my mouth, and it's often in cartoons
The word for that
It seems like such a drag
To not know what to call that little fleshy punching bag

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
There's a word for that
It's on the tip of my tongue
Well actually underneath it, and has been since I was young
The word for that
Although I won't quote
It likely stops my tongue from disappearing down my throat

[Chorus] (x2)

[End on G]
