| It's | no good | trying to | place your | hand |
| G | G7 | G | G7 | |
| where | I can't | see because I | under | stand |
| D | |
| that you're | different from me |
| A | |
| yes | I can tell |
| D | |
| that you can't be what you pre | tend |
| G | |
| and you're | rocking me backwards |
| A# | |
| and you're | rocking towards the |
| C | D | E | |
| red and yellow mane of a | stallion horse. |
| It's no good trying to hold your love |
| where I can't see because I understand |
| that you're different from me |
| yes I can tell |
| that you can't be what you pretend |
| the caterpillar hood won't cover the head of you |
| know you should be home in bed. |
| It's no good holding your sequin fan |
| where I can't see because I understand |
| that you're different from me |
| yes I can tell |
| that you can't be what you pretend |
| yes you're spinning around and around in a car |
| with electric lights flashing very fast. |
