[A] [C]
[A] I [C] got drunk and fell [A] asleep atop [C] the sheets but [A] luckily I left [C] the heater [A] on
And in my [C] dreams I wrote [A] the best song that [C] I've ever written
[A] Can't remember [C] how it goes
[D] I [A] [C] stayed drunk and fell [A] awake
I [C] was cycling [A] on a plane and far [C] away I [D] heard you say you like [C] me
[A] We drifted [C] to a [A] party called the people [C] went to [A] art school
They [C] made their paint by [D] mixing acid wash and [C] [A] lemonade
In [G] my brain I [A]
[G] rearranged the [A] letters [G] on [A] the page to spell your name
If I found a [C] head to [A] pound and made a bed to [C] pee
If I found a cigarette I'd [C] drop it [D] all and marry [C] you
[A] Just then a [C] song comes [A] on you can't always get what you want
The rolling stones are what we [D] breathe the irony
[C]
[A] Stones [C] became the [A] mice that once sold [C] inhibitions
[A] Lost the hipsters [C] made a mission to [D] the fog
[C]
[A] We [C] drove by track the [A] dirty yellow straw [C] replaced our [A] hair
We laced the [C] dairy rambler [D] with the cream of [C] sweet vermouth
[A] In my brain I [G] rearranged [A] the letters on [D] the page [C] to spell [Am] your name
You said we only live once so we touched a little tongue
And instantly [C] I wanted [D] to
[C]
[A] I lost my train of thought and jumped aboard the F-ing
As the doors were [Cm] slowly closing on [D] the world
[C]
[A] I [C] touched on and off [A] and rubbed my arm up against yours
And still the [C] inspector inspected [D] me
[C]
[A] The lady [C] in the room [A] was living proof [C] that nothing really [A] ever is [C] exactly
[D] In [C]
[A] my brain I [B]
rearranged the [A] letters [C] on the [D] page to [Em] spell [A] your name
We boarded the riverboat downstream and ended up beside a team of angry [C] [D] footballers
We [C]
[A] looked at the ducks and krilled and we were sucked against our will
And threw the [C] weapons doors to the [D] casino
[C]
[A] We drank cream margaritas danced with sweet [C] senoritas
[A] And we all went [C] home as winners of [A] the pion
You said I guarantee we'll have more fun
Drink till the moon becomes the sun
And in the taxi home I'll [D] sing you [C] a triplet [A] song
In my brain I [B] rearranged [A] the letters [C] [D] on the page to [C] spell your name
[A]
[E] [A]
