Well this has got to die
I said this [G#m] has got to stop
[E]
[F#m] This has got to lie down
[F#]
With [Am] someone else on top
[E] Well you can keep me pinned
It's easier to [G#m] tease
But
[E] you [F#] can't paint an elephant
Quite as good as [Am] she
[F#]
[E]
And she may cry
Like
[C#m] [D#] a baby
[C#m] And [F#] she may [F#]
[F#m] drive
Me [Am]
crazy
[E] Cause I
[A] am lately
[F#] [A] lost
[C#m]
[G#m] [F#m]
[F#] [B]
[E] So why'd you have to lie
And take it [E] on your [G#m] crotch
The pillow [F#m] in your [F#] pillowcase
Is easier [Am] to touch
[E] [Am]
[E] And when you think you're singing
Do you fall [G#m] upon your knees
Or [B]
do you sit within [F#m] your picture
[F#] Do [F#]
[E] you still [A] forget the breeze
[Am] [C] And [B] [E] she may rise
If [A#] I sing [C#m] you down
[F#] And she may
[F#m] [F#]
wisely [Am] claim
To the ground
[E] Cause I [E]
[A] am lately
[G#m] [F#m]
[B]
[E] So why would [A] she take me
For
[Em] [F#]
[F#m]
[F#] [B]
a ride
[F#m] Cause [F#m] I am so [Am] sick of singing
You're already [B] showing
[F#m] I could throw it all
[B] And I could live without
And I could do it all for you
I could be sad
[C#m] Tell me if you want me to lie
Cause this has [E] got to stop
Cause this has got to stop
[G#m]
This [F#m] has got to lie [F#] down
With [Am]
someone else on top
[A] [Em]
You can [E] both keep me pinned
Cause it's [G#m] easier to tease
But you [B] can't make me happy
What
[E] [Am] is good as me
