by The Films
'Oh, Scorpio'
 C   Am   F   Gx2
CIt's good to go away for the summer, Amit's good to lie awake all night
FI got this real bad habit of Gsetting up camp where the lightning strikes
CWhy don't you sit me down in the kitchen, Amwhy don't you tell me cut my hair
FWhy don't you stop looking thru the mirror Gwearing out that far off stare
F G Em Am F G
CHow bout a holiAmday, how bout a holiGday, yeah yeah
CHow bout a holiAmday, how bout a holiGday, yeah yeah
These pFeople get so Gmean when they Emgrind you through the gears of the big machine
C Am
CI've seen a little too much high way, AmI drank a little too much wine
FI've kept too many deep dark secrets Gthat sooner or later wear out my mind
CI've got an unclear destination, AmI've been an irresponsible son
FI should have seen it coming I Gget all wound up and then I pop like a gun
F G Em Am F G
CHow bout a holiAmday, how bout a holiGday, yeah yeah
CHow bout a holiAmday, how bout a holiGday, yeah yeah
I don't Fwant to make no Gscene I'm just Emlooking for another dirty way to get clean
C Am F G
C Am F G
F G Em Am F G
CHow bout a holiAmday, how bout a holiGday, yeah yeah
CHow bout a holiAmday, how bout a holiGday, ooh
As Fsilly as it Gseems I'm just Emlooking for another Amdirty way to get cleanC
