Am (x02210@1)       F (133211@1)    C (x32010@1)        E (022100@1)  I got a crush,   copy shop clerk
Am (x02210@1)             F (133211@1)          C(quickly mute after striking)
   But she won't look up at me
Am (x02210@1)                F (133211@1)  Don't want to be known as the freak
C (x32010@1)               E (022100@1)                 Am(hit and mute)
   Who just comes around to catch her eye

Verse 2:
I got a ride, home with a drunk guy
How ungreatful I must have seemed
He showed me how, to spin my head round and round

Chorus:
We could be sleeping in the flowers, We could sleep all afternoon
You'd proclaim that your an island, I proclaim that I'm one too
Then we float into the harbor, With just piers and boats around
I declare that I am England, You declare that I have drowned
