A             E
I'm doing cartwheels
              A
I'm doing cartwheels
              E
I'm doing cartwheels

[Instrumental]
A - E - A - E

[Verse 1]
A                             E
My wounds are nicely salted dear
                           A
I never got to thank you right
                                   E
I was finished way before I could see
                                    A
Not quite what you had in mind for me

[Chorus]
              E
I'm doing cartwheels
              A
I'm doing cartwheels
              E
I'm doing cartwheels

[Verse 2]
A                         E
Now the pessimism in me yawns
                                        A
As I'm pissing on their perfect front lawns
                             E                             
A voice calls out behind my back
                           A
And I take off into the grounds

[Chorus]
              E
I'm doing cartwheels
              A
I'm doing cartwheels
              E
I'm doing cartwheels

[Post-Chorus]

C#m               A        E
It'll all tie me up into knots
C#m               A        E
It'll all tie me up into knots

[Verse 3]
A                              E   
I didn't mean to speak out of turn
                                A
Now you can sit and watch me squirm
                             E
The party's really in full swing
                                A
I wish I had a friend I could bring

[Chorus]
              E
I'm doing cartwheels
              A
I'm doing cartwheels
              E
I'm doing cartwheels

[Verse 4]
A                                     E
You're really loving this aren't you dear?
                                     A
Now you've got me on the ropes out here
                             E
With nowhere else to run to now
                         A
Just stay and face the music

[Post-Chorus]
C#m               A        E
It'll all tie me up into knots
C#m               A        E
It'll all tie me up into knots
C#m               A        E
It'll all tie me up into knots
C#m               A        E
It'll all tie me up into knots
