G, D, C, D (x2)

[Verse 1]
G      D      Cadd9      D      G      D  Cadd9  D
Where is this thing that I call heaven?
G      D    Cadd9  D      G     D  Cadd9  D
 What is it doing here on earth?
G    D       Cadd9   D     G     D  Cadd9  D
 Who is this holding my umbrella?
G    D       Cadd9   D        G     D  Cadd9  D
 Who is this looking up your skirt?

[Verse 2]
You always wear it with a sense of style
I like to wear it with a smirk
You make me wait for just a little while
I open up my mouth and yell

[Chorus]
G         D           Cadd9      D
I'm home, you're home, I'm all alone
G     D      Cadd9    D       G    D  Cadd9
 Why can't I call you on the phone?
  D            G
I really don't know
(G)       D           Cadd9      D
I'm home, you're home, we're all alone
G     D      Cadd9    D       G    D  Cadd9  D
Why can't I call you on the phone?

[Instrumental]
G, D, Em7 (x4)
G, D, Cadd9, D (x2)

[Verse 3]
You always wear it with a sense of style
I like to wear it with a skirt
I'll be okay in just a little while
And I open my big mouth and yell

[Chorus]
Did you laugh? did you cry?
Did you say my name with a bit of a sigh?
I really don't know
Did you laugh? did you cry?
Did you say my name with a bit of a sigh?

[Instrumental]
G, D, Em7 (x4)

[Bridge] 
(Same chords as the verses)
Take off, to the great white north
Take off, it's a beauty way to go
Take off, to the great white north
Take off, it's a beauty way to go

[Outro]
Where is this thing that I call heaven?
Did you laugh at that?
What is it doing here on earth?
Did you cry?
Who is this holding my umbrella?
Did you say my name with a sigh?
Who is this looking up your skirt?
