[E5]When am I supposed to say [C#5]so lon[B5]g?
[E5]When am I supposed to say [C#5]so lon[B5]g?
[B5]When I [F#5]fall in l[C#5]ove 'fore d[B5]usk is d[E]awn
[E]When you [F#5]take my [C#5]hand acr[B5]oss the l[E]awn
[E]With the [F#5]eyes so [C#5]sweet they're [B5]like a fa[E]wn
Red[F#5] elep[C#5]hant is[B5] wet & l[E]ong...
[E5]How am I supposed to wash [C#5]you o[B5]ff?
[E5]Rungs of bad poems I've hack[C#5]ed & c[B5]oughed
[B5]But I h[F#5]ave to s[C#5]pare a b[B5]reath for y[E]ou
[E]Which I'll t[F#5]ake, be[C#5]fore we [B5]make an[E]ew
Our h[F#5]earts will t[C#5]ake a stro[B5]ll for t[E]wo
Our [F#5]feet will t[C#5]ake the [B5]avenue[E]
& [F#5]Walk in[C#5] unis[B5]on, so c[E]ute
Red e[F#5]lepha[C#5]nt is tu[B5]rning bl[E]ue
[E5]Why am I here when you're [C#5]over th[B5]ere?
Let's meet at the fountains
In Dundas Square
Who am I supposed to be with you?
I'll wait 'til you say & pretend I knew
[B5]Because [F#5]if it's [C#5]true that w[B5]alls can tal[E]k
How mine would brag of tears I've sobbed
When thinking of the way we walked
Along the paths of sideway chalk
Forever under ticking clock
Where you & I are free to flock
[E5]What can I write when I know [C#5]it's w[B5]rong?
Slapping my knee to my own damn song
Where can we go when the sinking stops?
To the pit of my chest
As it drops and drops...
But your h[F#5]ead u[C#5]pon my [B5]chest, it b[E]reathes
And my fingers through your hair they weave
And your shoulders are the perfect sea
In which I get lost invariably
Oh the elephant is up to sea
If it meets the peach fish underneath
& When I am you and you are me
We are stirred as spoons in lover's tea
[G#]Whoa oh oh w[F#]hoa oh whoa oh [E]whoa
The chord changes come fast and furious at the end, but thats about it.
