Cadd9, Em, Am7,   Gx4
[Verse 1]
(6/8 TIME):
Now it's dCadd9ay, I've been Emtrying to get that Am7taste off my Gtongue
I was Cadd9dreaming of Emjust you, now our Am7cereal, it is Gwarm.
Attractive Cadd9day in the Emrubble of the Am7night from Gbefore.
Now I can't Cadd9walk in a Emvacuum! I feel Am7ugly, I feel my Gpores.
It's the Cadd9trees of this Emday that I do Am7battle with for the Glight,
Then I Cadd9start to feel Emtragic, people Am7greet me, I'm Gpolite.
"What's the Cadd9day?"
"What's you Emdoin'?"
"How's your Am7mood?"
"How's that Gsong?"
Man it Cadd9passes right Emby me, it's Am7behind me, now it's Ggone
And I can't Cadd9lift you up, mind is tired
Oh it's Emfamily beaches that I desire
A Am7sacred night, we'll watch the fireworks
The Gfrightened babies poo
They've got two Cadd9flashing eyes and they're colored why
They make Emme feel that Am7I'm only all I Gsee sometimes!
MAIN PROGRESSION x3
Third time, land on the G and change to 4/4 time.
[Bridge]
(4/4 TIME)
G, Bm7,  D6(quietly)
GI've been eatin' with a good friend who said
"A genie made me out of the earth's skin"
But in Bm7spite of her she is my birth kin
She D6spits me out in her surly blood rivers
GAll the people life lurkin'
In dominions of a hot Turk dish
If the Bm7elephants be reaching for our purses
Then D6meet me after the world with the shivers
REPEAT 3 TIMES, THEN:
[Verse]
(4/4 TIME)
"What's the Cadd9day?"
"What's you Emdoin'?"
"How's your Am7food?"
"How's that Gsong?"
Man it Cadd9passes right Emby me, it's Am7behind me, now it's Ggone
And I can't Cadd9lift you up cause mind is tired
It's Emfamily beaches that I desire
A Am7sacred night, we'll watch the fireworks
They Gfrightened the babies and you know
THEY'VE GOT TWO Cadd9flashing eyes and if they're colored why
They make Emme feel that Am7you're only what I Gsee sometimes!
There you go.
I understand if you want to substitute the D6 for a normal D, I just like it is all.
