E        A
Is it because I'm peakin'?

Twistin' your face, thumb in haaand

 A                          F# 
But you gotta have your own space to play in 

A                F#
A collection of glass chickens

Oh, Vernie, what a garden you have

   B
Roaming through the cupboard

          A                       Gm F#m   E
Jar of pickles never opened since 19  -   83

   B
Peanuts in a pile

      A                           Gm  F#m  E
And Elvis down the aisle, singing gallantly...

I wanna be, a little more like Ver-nie
