[Verse 1]
A Bm
I lit a thin green candle
D A
To make you jealous of me
A Bm
Then the room just filled up with mosquitos
D E
When they heard that my body was free
F#m C#m
Then I took the dust of a long sleepless night
D A
And I put it in your little shoe
Bm G
Then I confess that I tortured the dress
Bm A G A
That you wore for the world to look through, Ooh
[Verse 2]
A Bm
I showed my heart to the doctor
D A
He said I just have to quit
A Bm
Then he wrote himself a prescription
D E
And your name was written in it
F#m C#m
Then he locked himself in a library shelf
D A
With the details of our honeymoon
Bm G
Now I hear from the nurse that he’s doing much worse
Bm A G A
And his practice is all in a ruin
[Verse 3]
A Bm
Oh I heard of a saint who had loved you
D A
So I studied all night in his school
A Bm
Where he taught that the duty of lovers
D E
Is to tarnish the golden rule
F#m C#m
Just when I was sure that his teachings were pure,
D A
He drowned himself in the pool
Bm G
His body is gone, but back here on the lawn
Bm A G A
His spirit continues to drool, Ohh
