These chords are written for ukulele :) A E Life inside the music box ain't easy A The mallets hit, the gears are always turnin' F A E A And everyone inside the mechanism is yearning to get out A E And sing another melody completely A So different than the ones they're always singin' F A I close my eyes and think that I have found me, F A but then I feel mortality surround me E A I want to sing another melody F E A So different than the one I always sing (But when I do the dishes...) E I put the water very, very, very hot A And then I fill the sink to the top with bubbles of soap E And then I set all the bottle caps I own afloat A E A And it's the greatest voyage in the history of plastic! (And..then..I...) E Slip my hands in and start to make waves A And then I dip my tongue in and take a taste E It tastes like soap, but it doesn't really taste like soap A And then I lower in my whole mouth and take a gulp! (And..start..to...) A E A Feel mortality surround me; I close my eyes and think that I have found me F A But life inside the music box ain't easy F A The mallets hit, the gears are always turnin' E A F A And everyone inside the mechanism is yearning to get out E A F A And sing another melody completely, is yearning to get out F A Is yearning to get out F A Is yearning to get out...
