       A            Bm
It was 7:45 we were all in line
       E                     A
2 greet the teacher Miss Cathleen
F#m              Bm
First was Kevin, then came Lucy
E                A
Third in line was me
A               Bm        E                  A
All of us where ordinary compared to Cynthia Rose
    F#m          Bm
She always stood at the back of the line
E                   A
A smile beneath her nose
A                     Bm       E            A 
Her favorite number was 20 and every single day
F#m                    Bm
If U asked her what she had 4 breakfast
E                  A
This is what she'd say

A             Bm     E               A
Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam
F#m                     Bm                 E             A
Butterscotch clouds, and a tangerine and a side order of ham
A             Bm               E                A
If U set your mind free, baby, maybe you'd understand
F#m            Bm      E               A
Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam

A                Bm
Cynthia wore the prettiest dress
E                    A
With different color socks
F#m         Bm          E                      A              
Sometimes I wondered if the mates where in her lunchbox
A           Bm             E              A
Me and Lucy opened it when Cynthia wasn't around
F#m         Bm             E              A
Lucy cried, I almost died, U know what we found?

A             Bm               E                A

Starfish and coffee

Cynthia had a happy face, just like the one she'd draws
On every wall in every school
But it's all right, it's 4 a worthy cause
A   Bm
       Go on, Cynthia
E   A
       Keep singin'

A             Bm     E               A
Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam
F#m                        Bm              E             A
Butterscotch clouds, and a tangerine and a side order of ham
A             Bm               E                A
If U set your mind free, baby, maybe you'd understand
F#m            Bm      E               A
