[E5]
[Emaj7]I kinda like the way you [D#m]dot your "[A]J"s
With [C#m]giant [G#m]circles[C#m] of na[G#m]ïveté
The [C#m]kind of [G#m]circles [E]include [A]every[B]thing
[Emaj7]Don't mean to damn you with the [D#m]faintest [A]praise
It's [C#m]just a [G#m]symptom[C#m] of the [G#m]blithe age
[C#m]Walter [G#m]Lippmann, [E]he would [A]be a[B]mazed.
[G#m]So you've got some curb [F#m]appeal
[G#m]But can you cook a three course [F#m]meal?
[G#m]Or are you just a present [F#m]waiting to be opened up and [B]parceled out again? Hey!
Interlude B riff:
e|-4-2-0-4-2-0-etc.----| B|---------------------|
[A]You [G#m]are a [F#m]garden[E]ia, pressed
[A]in the [G#m]campaign [F#m]journal [B]in the
[A]rucksack [G#m]of an [F#m]Afri[E]kaner
[A]candi[G#m]date for [F#m]mild re[B]form.
[Emaj7]It's like we're at a Ponzi [D#m]scam-in[A]ar
There's [C#m]no escap[G#m]ing [C#m] without a [G#m]door prize
[C#m]They're oper[G#m]ating [E]at sign[A]ificant [B]loss.
[Emaj7]And now the way that you [D#m]watch your [A]weight,
[C#m]Richard [G#m]Avedon, [C#m] Richard [G#m]Avedon wo[C#m]uld,
Richard [G#m]Avedon [E]would sure[A]ly ap[B]prove.
[G#m]So much for your curb ap[F#m]peal.
[G#m]So much for the three course [F#m]meals.
[G#m]'Cause I am not a present [F#m]waiting to be opened up and [B]parceled out again. Hey!
[A]The [G#m]torture [F#m]of the V[E]an Wyk
[A]Expres[G#m]sway at [F#m]5 p.[B]m. on
[A]Friday [G#m]gives you [F#m]some id[E]ea of
[A]how re[G#m]jection [F#m]makes me [B]feel.
[A]Well you [G#m]are a [F#m]gardeni[E]a,[A] [G#m] [F#m] [B]
[A]You [G#m]are a [F#m]garden[E]ia. [A] [G#m] [F#m] [B] [E]
