Ooh, I gGuess I knew, Emall along,

VERSE:

G Em

We met in fancy dress,

C D

That's how it was to be

G Em

But I never was prepared to cope

C D

With all your idiosyncracies

G Em

And in the cold light of the day,

C D

Things don't always look the same

G Em

I wondered were you really ill

C D

Or did you always look that way

CHORUS:

Em D

It was here in the outer limits

C B

It was oh, such a long, long time ago

Em D

I was so happy, happy in the outer limits

C B

I just never wanted to go!

VERSE:

G Em

What she collected in glass jars,

C D

that was all of her and not mine

G Em

Because she spent all of her evenings,

C D

and the rest of us were tight

G Em

Her strange habits, her strange hobbies

C D

made strange noises in the night

G Em

Ooh, I guess I knew, all along,

C D

something wasn't right

CHORUS:

Em D

It was here in the outer limits

C B

It was oh, such a long, long time ago

Em D

I was so happy, happy in the outer limits

C B Em D C B

I just never wanted to go, oh!
