(x4)

[Verse 1]
G             D         C   G
  I've always been this way
        D        C             G
  Never known any other way to feel
          D        C  G
  Got the right of way
      D          C           G
  And all of the others must yield

[Bridge 1]
          C             G
  Now I'm naked and I'm in school
          D              G
  I can't make it to the door

[Break]
D C

[Verse 2]
G        D    C    G
  Try to understand
          D          C           G
  That an oyster can only make a pearl
         D        C   G
  From a grain of sand
           D            C            G
  But from what I don't know makes a girl

[Bridge 2]
          C                G
  But I’m trying not to laugh
                D
  It's that I'm dying…

[Middle 8]
           C
   When we break         (when we beak)
    G
   Apart                 (apart)
           C
   And you take          (and you take)
             G
   Back your heart       (back your heart)
          D            Am
   And it aches in the dark
            C            G
   … But it makes a tiny spark

[Bridge 3]
          C                G
  Now I'm naked and I'm in school
          D              G
  I can't make it to the door

[Outro]
          C            G
  We were lying in the grass
        D Bb   A
  I was trying,  Oh! Not to laugh
        C
  I was drowning in the past
