I agreed to host the show
                              A
That was how this whole thing started
      (still A....)
How was I supposed to know
                          D
I would end up so broken hearted
           G
We had one night
A                      Bm
That's all it meant to you
E                     A
Now I'm alone and I'm wishing I could stop
              G  Gm
Thinking of you


          Bm E G F#
I am in love
                Bm E G F#
But it's only a fantasy
              Bm E G F#
I'm in search of
                        G         Gm
That hairy creature who cared for me
          D
Under the pines

D
Tried so hard to play it cool
                   A
Didn't want to overdo it

Wasn't I a lovesick fool
                         D
Sending you a big bag of suet
          G
And a red rose?
A                        Bm
I thought at least you'd call
E                    A
Was I so wrong for expecting something more
                G       Gm
Than nothing at all?

          Bm E G F#
I am in love
                Bm E G F#
But it's only a fantasy
              Bm E G F#
I'm in search of
                        G         Gm
That hairy creature who cared for me
          D
Under the pines

G                   D 
Close my eyes and I see you there
Em                  Bm
Musky smell of your matted hair
G              D
Our minds were one
   F#sus4 (244422) F#
But only for a moment


D
We're shooting "Atlantis" now
                            A
I'm staring at the big blue ocean

I wish you could be here somehow
                        D
I wish I really had no emotion
            G
I'd be like you
A                  Bm
Just living day to day
E                          A
Crushing the heads and the hearts of smaller things
          G      Gm
And going away


          Bm E G F#
I am in love
                Bm E G F#
But it's only a fantasy
              Bm E G F#
I'm in search of
                        G         Gm
That hairy creature who cared for me
          D
Under the pines
