You have wowed me from the-
And before you, I [Fm] stand helpless, like a child, [C#] wide-eyed in the shop of the sugar seller.
You are [Fm] everywhere.
[C#] Street corners, pulsing in subways, arguing [Fm] through the walls.
When it's five in [C#] the morning, my eyelids feel like anvils, and there's still 200 miles I've got [Fm] to drive.
You were there, the first time I brought a girl [F#] to bed.
Or was it she bought me?
You were [A#m] there, the day I found my mother crying,
[C#] and the whole world [F#] shrank to the size of a walnut.
You were there.
[C#] You were my number 11, [Fm]
my one louder.
[C#] Whistling and wild notions.
[Fm] I wanted to dance silly in a graveyard with you.
[C#] Hands and holler.
[Fm] How I loved to come home early and catch you wandering shamelessly about the house,
[C#] because somehow my clock radio got AM and PM mixed up.
[Fm] I want to pierce my ears with your hooks, [C#] tattoo your lyrics upon my lips.
[Fm] The movies move better.
[F#] They'll sell better.
[A#m] Is it any wonder how
[F#] the effectless choose to worship you?
[C#] I've never been much of [Fm] a dancer myself, but [D#] I can write.
[F#] We are going to [G#] make an album.
[A#m]
[G#] Together with our [F#] fans, our friends, [G#]
our champions.
[A#m] We are going to do you proud.
[G#] Twenty [F#] songs, twelve must be chosen.
[Fm]
Together [A#m] we will fashion a masterpiece.
Together we will [G#] woo your crotch.
[F#] Together we will make our mark.
Light the [G#] blue touch paper and leave the sorrow yours eternally.
