A A A
F#mHarness your hopes on just one peArson
Because you know a hF#marness was only made for oAne
Don't telegraph your paF#msses, you'll end up with molaAsses
Cauterized with sF#myrup and syrup and molaAsses
AAnd I'm checking out the Basses, the assets that attrDact us
To anything that mF#moves.. we're deep inside the grAooves
AAnd it's time to shake the rBations, 'cause someone's gonna cDash in
The plot it turns aF#mgain.. the reference starts at Aten
F#mShow me a word that rhymes with pAavement
And I won't kill your pF#marents and roast them on a Aspit
And a - don't you try to F#metch it or permanently skeAtch it
Or you're gonna cF#match a bad bad cAold
AAnd the freaks have stormed the Bwhite house, I moved into a Dlighthouse
It's on a scenic F#mquay, is oh so far aAway
AFar away from the begBinning, the shroud is made of lDinen
The yearling took the pF#murse, the goth kid has a heAarse
EHeart breaking, Eearth quaking, Ekiwis they are home baking
DMinds.. Awide.. Bo-Epen.. D7truAly
F#mLeisure.. a leisure suit is notAhing
AIt's nothing to be pF#mroud of.. in this late centurAy
AAnd I'm asking you to F#mhold me just like the morning pAaper
APinched between your pF#mointer, your index and your thAumb
AIt's a semi autoBmatic.. believers are ecDstatic
You see the way they cF#mling.. the cold metallic sAting
AAnd I'm living in a cBoma.. for Donna DeVDorona
The harness made of F#mhopes.. the lovers on the rAopes
ENun is to chEurch as the pEarrot is to pEerch
And my hDeart's Awide Bo-Epen D7truAly
[Solo] (over A and F#m)

A A A
F#m A
Harness your hopes on just one person
F#m A
Because you know a harness was only made for one
F#m A
Don't telegraph your passes, you'll end up with molasses
F#m A
Cauterized with syrup and syrup and molasses
A B D
And I'm checking out the asses, the assets that attract us
F#m A
To anything that moves.. we're deep inside the grooves
A B D
And it's time to shake the rations, 'cause someone's gonna cash in
F#m A
The plot it turns again.. the reference starts at ten
F#m A
Show me a word that rhymes with pavement
F#m A
And I won't kill your parents and roast them on a spit
F#m A
And a - don't you try to etch it or permanently sketch it
F#m A
Or you're gonna catch a bad bad cold
A B D
And the freaks have stormed the white house, I moved into a lighthouse
F#m A
It's on a scenic quay, is oh so far away
A B D
Far away from the beginning, the shroud is made of linen
F#m A
The yearling took the purse, the goth kid has a hearse
E E E
Heart breaking, earth quaking, kiwis they are home baking
D A B E D7 A
Minds.. wide.. o-pen.. truly
F#m A
Leisure.. a leisure suit is nothing
A F#m A
It's nothing to be proud of.. in this late century
A F#m A
And I'm asking you to hold me just like the morning paper
A F#m A
Pinched between your pointer, your index and your thumb
A B D
It's a semi automatic.. believers are ecstatic
F#m A
You see the way they cling.. the cold metallic sting
A B D
And I'm living in a coma.. for Donna DeVorona
F#m A
The harness made of hopes.. the lovers on the ropes
E E E E
Nun is to church as the parrot is to perch
D A B E D7 A
And my heart's wide o-pen truly
[Solo] (over A and F#m)
