[Cadd9] [Cmaj7] [Cadd9] [Cmaj7] [B5] [Em] [B5] [Em]
Verse 1:
[Cadd9]by the [Cmaj7]bumper cars, [Cadd9]in the [Cmaj7]pretty twining [B5]light,[Em] [B5] [Em]
[Cadd9] i may have [Cmaj7]gone too far,
[Cadd9] i may have [Cmaj7]gone too much, too [B5]long.
i'[Em]m a [G]dull and witless b[Cadd9]oy. [Cmaj7] [Cadd9] [Cmaj7] [B5] [Em] [B5] [Em]
[Cadd9] in the [Cmaj7]after bars, [Cadd9]think i was [Cmaj7]sullied by a d[B5]ream[Em]. [B5] [Em]
[Cadd9] in the [Cmaj7]killing jar,
[Cadd9] you and [Cmaj7]me at war at a[B5]rms
a[Em]ll [G]falling in em[Cadd9]brace. [Cmaj7] [Cadd9] [Cmaj7] [B5] [Em] [B5] [Em]
[Em]tell [D/F]me [G]why [Am]you [B7]lied
and [Em]what it is you [D]do to keep your [Cadd9]eyes, [Cmaj7] [Cadd9] [Cmaj7]
all [Em9/D]shiny [Cadd9] [Cmaj7] [Cadd9] [Cmaj7] [B5] [Em] [B5] [Em]
[Cadd9] a tawny [Cmaj7]gypsy girl
[Cadd9] sleeping [Cmaj7]blanketed by s[B5]tars[Em] [B5] [Em]
[Cadd9] 'neath the [Cmaj7]tilt-a-whirl
[Cadd9] where we were [Cmaj7]coyly caught a[Bm]lone
a[Em]ll [G]fumbling with your [Cadd9]blouse [Cmaj7] [Cadd9] [Cmaj7] [B5] [Em]
[Em]tell [D/F]me [G]why [Am]you [B7]lied
and [Em]what it is you [D]do to keep your [Cadd9]eyes, [Cmaj7] [Cadd9] [Cmaj7]
all [Em9/D]shiny
[D] and in the rollercoaster [C]din
[D] by the parachutes in [C]saddle shoes you [Em]break your shin
[D] but i have never seen two [C]eyes so [B5]shiny[Em] [B5] [Em]
[Cadd9] [Cmaj7] [Cadd9] [Cmaj7] [B5] [Em] [B5] [Em]
[Cadd9] [Cmaj7] [Cadd9] [Cmaj7] [B5] [Em] [B5] [Em]
[D] and the sullen beery [C]swine
[D] try to tangle you in [C]sullen beery [Em]balls of twine
[D] have they ever seen two[C] eyes so [B5]shin[Em]y? [B5] [Em]
[Cadd] the [9]boys in [Cmaj7]denim vests
[Cadd9] smoking [Cmaj7]cigarettes b[B5]etwee[Em]n [B5] [Em]
[Cadd9] their bootblack [Cmaj7]fingertips
[Cadd9] sweetly [Cmaj7]tipsy by the h[B5]alf-lig[Em]ht
the [G]light and the hal[Cadd9]f-light[Cmaj7] [Cadd9] [Cmaj7] [B5] [Em]
[Em]tell [D/F#]me [G]why [Am]you [B7]lied
and [Em]what it is you [D]do to keep your [Cadd9]eyes, [Cmaj7] [Cadd9] [Cmaj7]
all [Em9/D]shiny, all shiny
