[D]
Half underwater, [Bb] I'm half my mother's [F] daughter
[D] Fractions left up to [Bb] dispute
[F] Half [E]
of [D] the whole collection, half [Bb] of the price they're [F] asking
[E] [D] And a half way half, so they'll [Bb] repeat
[F] Ah, [E] ah, [D] ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, [Gm] ah, ah, [Dm] ah, ah, [E] [D] ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Half [Dm] accidental, a [Bb] painful [F]
instrumental
[Em] [Dm] [D] Half [Dm]
allowed to [G] think [Bb] about
[F] Ah, [Em] ah, [D] ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
They think they're joking
You [Bb] have to go [F] provoke [Em] them
[Dm] I [D] guess it's time to be [Bb] found
[F] Ah,
[Am] [F] ah, ah.
You'll lose the biology and [C] have [Dm] corrective surgery come wrong.
You'll notice something [Bb] [F] funny.
You have a ratty foot [D] too.
The world grew [Dm] into some black hole [F] before they had [Bb] these [F] pills to take [Dm] it back.
A [A] half-joke and [D] half-jagger.
[Bb]
[F] [Em] [D]
[Bb]
[F] [Em] [D] Two halves are equal, a [Bb] cross between two [F] evils.
[Dm] [D] It's not an un [Gm] [Bb]-faithful lot.
[F] [Dbm] [D] But if you listen, you'll [Bb] learn to hear the [F] difference
[D] between the halves and the half, [Bb] not
[F] [E] a half.
[Bb] And when I let in [D] and I feel the [A] stitches getting thicker,
[Bb] I try to wash [D] them out, but like they [A] say, the blood is thicker.
I [Bb] see my [Dm] mother in my [D] face, but [A] only when [Dm] I [A]
travel I [Bb] run as [Dm] fast as I can run,
[A] but Jack comes tumbling after.
[Bb] When [F] I'm brave enough and [C] the mind's a clever [Bb] way to [Dm] kick him out,
and I'm [Bb] so high not even you [F] and I are [C] enough to bring me [Bb] down.
I'm [Dm] a virgin, I've [C] never found the magic [Bb] words to [Dm] change the facts.
I'm [A] half-joke [Dm]
[A] [D] and half-jagger.
I'm half-joke and half -jagger.
[Bb] [F]
[E] [D]
[Bb] [F]
[C] I'm [Dm] halfway [D] home now, [Bb] half-hoping for a [F] showdown,
[E] [Dm] cause I'm [D] not big enough to house this [Bb] crowd.
[F] Ah, [E] ah, [Dm] ah, it might [D] destroy me, but [Bb] I'd sacrifice [Dm] my body
if [D] it meant I'd get the [Bb] jackpot out.
