[B]Pl[F#]ease, still for a second
While I [E]tr[G#]y and try to pin your flowers [B1]on
La la la [E1]la... la
Can you [B]ca[F#]rry my drink, I have everything else
I can [E]ti[G#]e my tie all by myself
I'm [B1]getting tired
I'm for[E1]getting why
Oh, we're [B]so[F#] disarming darling
EVery[E]th[G#]ing we did believe
Is [B1]diving, diving, diving and diving o[E1]ff the balcony
Chorus: (one guitar just plays B5 all the way through but for one guitar play this)
-------
[B2]Tired and wired
We ruin too easi[E2]ly
[B3]Sleep in our clothes
And wait for winter [E2]to leave
Verse:
------
Hold ourselves together
With our arms around the stereo for hours
La la la la la la la
While it sings to itself or whatever it does
When it sings to itself with its long lost loves
I'm getting tired
I'm forgetting why
Chorus:
-------
Tired and wired
We ruin too easy
Sleep in our clothes
And wait for winter to leave
And I'll be with you behind the couch when they come
On a different day just like this one
Outro: (Basically repeat the variations on B and E to the end)
------
We'll [B]st[F#]ay inside till somebody finds us
[E]Do[G#] whatever the TV tells us
[B]St[F#]ay inside our rosy minded [E]fu[G#]zz
For days we'll...
Stay inside till somebody finds us
Do whatever the TV tells us
Stay inside our rosy minded fuzz
So hurry not
All things are well
We'll be alright
We have our looks
And perfume...
Stay inside till somebody finds us
Do whatever the TV tells us
Stay inside our rosy minded fuzz
So hurry not
All things are well
We'll be alright
We have our looks
And perfume on
End on B
