Be still for a second while I try and try to pin your flowers on
B                     
Can you carry my drink I have everything else
     B/Ab
I can tie my tie all by myself
       C#/Eb             E
I?m getting tied, I?m forgetting why

B                               B/Ab
Oh we?re so disarming darling, everything we did believe
   C#/Eb                       E
is diving diving diving diving off the balcony
B                              Em
Tired and wired we ruin too easy
C#/Eb                                    E
sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave

B                             B/Ab                 C#/Eb            E
Hold ourselves together with our arms around the stereo for hours
B
While it sings to itself or whatever it does
        B/Ab
when it sings to itself of its long lost loves
       C#/Eb             E
I?m getting tied, I?m forgetting why

B                               Em
Tired and wired we ruin too easy
C#/Eb                               E  
sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave
B                               Em               B
but I?ll be with you behind the couch when they come
                             Em
on a different day just like this one

B
We?ll stay inside til somebody finds us
B/Ab
do whatever the TV tells us
C#/Eb                       E
stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz for days

B
We?ll stay inside til somebody finds us
B/Ab
do whatever the TV tells us
C#/Eb                       E
stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz

B
so worry not
Em
all things are well
B
we?ll be alright
             Em
we have our looks and perfume

B
stay inside til somebody finds us
B/Ab
do whatever the TV tells us
C#/Eb                       E
stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz

B
so worry not
Em
all things are well
B
we?ll be alright
             Em
we have our looks and perfume on
