This [F#] has got to lie with someone [Am] else on top
[E] Well you can keep me pinned
Cause it's easier [G#m] to tease
But you [F#] can't paint an [F#m] elephant quite
[F#] [E] as good as [Am] she
And [E]
she may cry like
[C#m] a baby
And
[F#] she may drive [Am] me crazy
[E] Cause I'm
[A]
less
[C#] than
[F#m] low
[B]
So [E] why'd you have to lie?
I take it [G#m] I'm your [E] crutch
The [G#m]
[F#m] pillow in your pillowcase
[F#]
It's [Am] easier to touch
[E] [Am]
[E] And when you think you're serious
Do you fall [G#m] upon your [E] knees?
[E]
Do you sit [F#m] within your picture?
Do you [Em] still [Am] forget the breeze?
[E] And she may rise [C#m] if I set you down
And [F#] she may wisely [Am] cling to the ground
[Em] [E] Cause I'm
[A]
less
[Em] [F#]
than
[B]
low
[E] So why [A] would she take me?
And [C#] the
[F#m]
whole [Em] [B]
time
[F#]
What's the point of this [Am] song?
Or even singing?
[F#]
You've already [B] got it
[F#m] I could throw it out
[B] And I could do it all for you
I could be true
[C#m] [B]
[E] This has got to stop
[B] I said this [G#m] has got to stop
[E]
[G#m] [G#]
[F#m] This has got to lie [F#] down
Down, down
With [Am] someone else on top
[E]
[B] [Em] Well you can both [E] keep me pinned
Cause it's [G#m] easier to [E] tease
But [F#m] you can't [F#] make me happy
No, quite [Am] as good as [F#] me
[A]
[G]
We know it's a lie
