Intro:  A5. . .  A5. . .
Verse 1:
        A5. . .       A5. . .
He's uncool, an 'unsophisticat'
        A5. . .                A5. . . 
He's a tightrope walker on an open path
        A5. . .         A5. . .
He's a maze   of   curiosity
           A5. . .                  (A5) . . .
He is the living bread that cures my appetite
Chorus:
I find that A2I can't D2breathe and G2I can't D2sleep
A2When he's D2not a - G2roundD2  
A2Every D2day is G2bluey D2grey
A2When he's D2not a - G2roundD2  
Verse 2:
        A5. . .         A5. . .
His mystique is one of innocence 
            A5. . .                   A5. . .
I feel I'm lounging in lovely in his big blue eyes
       A5. . .           A5. . .
And I would be -  be in paradise
           A5. . .                  (A5) . . .
If I were always beside him like his Siamese
Interlude:
 A2.  D2.  A2.  G2.
 A2.  D2.  A2.  G2. 
 A2.  D2.  A2.  G2. 
 A2.  D2.  A2.  G2.  
Bridge:
 A5. . .              A5. . .
Can I keep him in my galaxy
 A5. . .              (A5) . . . 
Can he live within my fantasy
Chorus: (up to Bmajor)
I find that B2I can't E2breathe and A2I can't E2sleep
B2When he's E2not a - A2roundE2  
B2Every E2day is A2bluey E2grey
B2When he's E2not a - A2roundE2
