Intro:  G   D  G  
Too weak for water 
Too drunk for Cale
Now you Gdon’t want anything 
to get Dcaught up in your eye 
Its a grain of Gsalt 
it’s a mirror Cball 
those Gdancing leafs a jig 
as they get Dhung up down the hall 
its around your Gneck 
its around yoCur neck 
lift it Gup over your Dhead
before you Gturn down the Cbed
just Ghope all those Dstrings don’t Gconnect
G D G
don’t shake your Gfist
don’t make a Cpass
you Glost your bargaining power
[watch that Dsuit well on me]
it fits you like a Gsnake
or a type of Cstatuette
the Ggloves are reaching over
for what Dhasn’t happened yet
its around your Gneck 
its around yoCur neck 
lift it Gup over your Dhead
before you Gturn down the Cbed
just Ghope all those Dstrings don’t Gconnect
its around your Gneck 
its around yoCur neck 
lift it Gup over your Dhead
before you Gturn down the Cbed
just Ghope all those Dstrings don’t Gconnect

Intro:

Too weak for water

Too drunk for ale

Now you don’t want anything

to get caught up in your eye

Its a grain of salt

it’s a mirror ball

those dancing leafs a jig

as they get hung up down the hall

its around your neck

G D

lift it up over your head

G C

before you turn down the bed

G D G

just hope all those strings don’t connect

G D G

don’t shake your fist

don’t make a pass

you lost your bargaining power

[watch that suit well on me]

it fits you like a snake

or a type of statuette

the gloves are reaching over

for what hasn’t happened yet

its around your neck

G D

lift it up over your head

G C

before you turn down the bed

G D G

just hope all those strings don’t connect

its around your neck

G D

lift it up over your head

G C

before you turn down the bed

G D G

just hope all those strings don’t connect

G D G G D G
