B5                          B5                        C#5     E5
Be still for a second while I try and try to pin your flowers on
B5                     
Can you carry my drink I have everything else
     B5
I can tie my tie all by myself
       C#5             E5
I?m getting tied, I?m forgetting why

B5                               B5
Oh we?re so disarming darling, everything we did believe
   C#5                       E5
is diving diving diving diving off the balcony
B5                              E5
Tired and wired we ruin too easy
C#5                                    E5
sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave

B5                             B5                 C#5            E5
Hold ourselves together with our arms around the stereo for hours
B5
While it sings to itself or whatever it does
        B5
when it sings to itself of its long lost loves
       C#5             E5
I?m getting tied, I?m forgetting why

B5                               E5
Tired and wired we ruin too easy
C#5                               E5  
sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave
B5                               E5               B5
but I?ll be with you behind the couch when they come
                             E5
on a different day just like this one

B5
We?ll stay inside til somebody finds us
B5
do whatever the TV tells us
C#5                       E5
stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz for days

B5
We?ll stay inside til somebody finds us
B5
do whatever the TV tells us
C#5                       E5
stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz

B5
so worry not
E5
all things are well
B5
we?ll be alright
             E5
we have our looks and perfume

B5
stay inside til somebody finds us
B5
do whatever the TV tells us
C#5                       E5
stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz

B5
so worry not
E5
all things are well
B5
we?ll be alright
             E5
we have our looks and perfume on
