[Am]
[D] [G]
You can't live together, you [A] can't live alone
[D] Considering the weather, oh my [G] how you've grown
From the men in the factories to the [Am] wild kangaroo
[D] Like the birds of a feather, they're gathering together
Feeling exactly like you
[G] They got mesmerized by lullabies and limbo [C] dancing pirates
Please [Am] lock that door
[D] It don't make much sense, that common sense
Don't make no sense [G] no more
[C] Just between [D] you [G] and me
[C] It's like [G] bullying [D] when you are to [G] be shut
[C] Like [G]
[D] with your head [G] in the air
[C] Please [G] don't tell me [D] that this really [G] wasn't enough
[Am]
[D] [G]
One of these days, [A] one of these [Am] nights
[D] You take off your hat, and they'll [G] read you your rights
You'll wanna get high every [Am] time you feel low
[D] Hey Queen Isabella, stay away from that fella
He'll just get you into [G] trouble you know
But they came here by boats, and they [Am] came here by plane
[D] They blistered their hands, and they [G] burned out their brain
All dreaming a dream [Am] that'll never come true
Hey [D] don't give me no trouble, or I'll call up my double
We'll play piggy in [G] the middle with you
You'll get mesmerized by lullabies and limbo [C] dancing pirates
Please [Am] lock that door
[D] It don't make much sense, that common sense
Don't make no [G] sense no more
[D] It don't make much sense, that common sense
Don't make no [G] sense no more
