A (x02220@1)         C (x32010@1)  [followed by abar (x02210@1)of silence]

Verse 1
A (x02220@1)         CI (x32010@1)got drunk and fell asleep
A (x02220@1)         CAtop (x32010@1)the sheets but luckily
A (x02220@1)         CI (x32010@1)left the heater on

D (xx0232@1)A (x02220@1)         CAnd (x32010@1)in my dreams I wrote the best
A (x02220@1)         CSong (x32010@1)that I've ever written
A (x02220@1)         CCan’t (x32010@1)remember how it goes
D (xx0232@1)         C (x32010@1)A (x02220@1)         CI (x32010@1)stayed drunk and fell awake
A (x02220@1)         CI (x32010@1)was cycling on a plane
A (x02220@1)         C (x32010@1)              D (xx0232@1)          CAnd (x32010@1)far away I heard you say you liked me

A (x02220@1)           CWe (x32010@1)drifted to a party, cool
A (x02220@1)           CThe (x32010@1)people went to arty school
A (x02220@1)           C (x32010@1)            D (xx0232@1)         CThey (x32010@1)made their paints by mixing acid wash and lemonade

Chorus
A (Allow to sustain)
In my brain
I re-arrange
The letters on the page
To spell your name

Verse 2
A (x02220@1)           CI (x32010@1)found an Ezra Pound
A (x02220@1)           CAnd (x32010@1)made a bet that if I found
A (x02220@1)           C (x32010@1)           D (xx0232@1)          CA (x32010@1)cigarette, I'd drop it all and marry you

A (x02220@1)           CJust (x32010@1)then a song comes on:
A (x02220@1)              C"You (x32010@1)can't always get what you want"
A (x02220@1)           C (x32010@1)           D (xx0232@1)        CThe (x32010@1)Rolling Stones, oh woe is we, the irony

A (x02220@1)           CThe (x32010@1)stones became the moss
A (x02220@1)           CAnd (x32010@1)once all inhibition's lost
A (x02220@1)           C (x32010@1)          D (xx0232@1)       CThe (x32010@1)hipsters made a mission to the farm

A (x02220@1)           CWe (x32010@1)drove by tractor there
A (x02220@1)           CThe (x32010@1)yellow straw replaced our hair
A (x02220@1)           C (x32010@1)            D (xx0232@1)         CWe (x32010@1)laced the dairy river with the cream of sweet vermouth

Chorus
A (x02220@1)       CIn (x32010@1)my brain
A (x02220@1)       CI (x32010@1)re-arrange
A (x02220@1)       C (x32010@1)           
The letters on the page
D (xx0232@1)       CTo (x32010@1)spell your name

Verse 3
A (x02220@1)           CYou (x32010@1)said, "We only live once"
A (x02220@1)           CSo (x32010@1)we touched a little tongue
A (x02220@1)           CAnd (x32010@1)instantly I wanted to
D (xx0232@1)           C (x32010@1)A (x02220@1)           CI (x32010@1)lost my train of thought
A (x02220@1)           CAnd (x32010@1)jumped aboard the Epping as
A (x02220@1)           CThe (x32010@1)doors were slowly closing on the world
D (xx0232@1)           C (x32010@1)A (x02220@1)           CI (x32010@1)touched on and off
A (x02220@1)           CAnd (x32010@1)rubbed my arm up against yours
A (x02220@1)           CAnd (x32010@1)still the inspector inspected me
D (xx0232@1)           C (x32010@1)A (x02220@1)           CThe (x32010@1)lady in the roof
A (x02220@1)           CWas (x32010@1)living proof that nothing
A (x02220@1)           CReally (x32010@1)ever is exactly as it seems

[Chorus]

Verse 4
A (x02220@1)           CWe (x32010@1)caught the river boat downstream
A (x02220@1)           CAnd (x32010@1)ended up beside a team
A (x02220@1)           COf (x32010@1)angry footballers
D (xx0232@1)           C (x32010@1)A (x02220@1)           CI (x32010@1)fed the ducks some krill
A (x02220@1)           CThen (x32010@1)we were sucked against our will
A (x02220@1)           CInto (x32010@1)the welcome doors of the casino
D (xx0232@1)           C (x32010@1)A (x02220@1)           CWe (x32010@1)drank green margaritas
A (x02220@1)           CDanced (x32010@1)with sweet señoritas
A (x02220@1)           CAnd (x32010@1)we all went home as winners of a kind
D (xx0232@1)           C (x32010@1)A [Allow to sustain]
You said "I guarantee we'll have more fun

Drink till the moon becomes the sun
                       D (xx0232@1)             CAnd (x32010@1)in the taxi home I'll sing you a Triffids song"
