[A] [E]
[D]
[A]
[E] Well, [D] I've been up all night, [A] yeah, party time wasting is [E] too much fun.
[D] Then I step back, [Bm] thinking of [A] life's inner meaning, and [E] my laser's lit.
It's [D] the same old story, [A] all love and glory is [E] a pantomime.
If [D] you're looking for love [A] in a looking-ass world, it's [E] pretty hard to find.
[D] Oh, mother of pearls, [A] I wouldn't trade you [E] for another [C#m] girl.
[E] [C#m]
[D] Divine intervention, [A] always my intention, so I [E] take my time.
[D] I've been looking for something [A] I've always wanted [E] but was never mine.
But [D] now I've seen that something [A] just out of reach, glowing [E] very holy grail.
[D] Oh, mother of pearls, [A] lustrous lady [E] of a sacred world.
[D] Thus even Zaragoza, [A] another time loser, [E] could believe in you.
With [D] every goddess let down, [A] every idol a bring down, [E] it [C#m] gets you [E] down.
[D] But the search for perfection, [A] your own reflection, goes [E] on and on and on and on.
One [D] Canadian club love, [A] a place in the country [E] everyone's ideal.
But [D] you are my favorite Rita, [Am] and a place in your heart, dear, [E] makes me feel more real.
[D] Oh, mother of pearls, [A] I wouldn't change you [E] for the whole world.
[D] Your high brow, holy, [A] with lots of soul melancholy [E] shimmering.
[D] Serpentine sleekness [A] was always my weakness, [E] like a simple tune.
[D] But no dilettante, [A] filigree fancy beats [E] the plastic you.
[D]
Korea girl, cover [A] exposed and another slips right [E] into view.
[D] Oh, looking for love [A] in a looking glass world is pretty [E] hard for you.
You [D] throw away kisses, the [A] boomerang misses [E] spin round and round.
[D] Oh, feather bed quilted, [A] basted silks all placed up, [E]
either down.
[D] Take refuge in pleasure, [A] just give me your future, you [E] forget your past.
Oh, [D] mother of pearls, [A] submarine lover in a shrinking world.
Oh, [D] lonely dreamer, your choker purple, it's a picture [E] of cameo.
[D] Oh, mother of pearls, [A] so, so semi-precious [E] in your deep satchel.
[D] Oh, mother of pearls, [A] I wouldn't trade you for [E] another girl.
[D] Oh, mother of pearls, [A]
I wouldn't trade you [E] for another girl.
[D] Oh, mother of pearls, [A] I wouldn't trade you [E] for another girl.
[D] Oh mother of pearl, [N] I wouldn't trade you for another girl.
[G]
