    Had a lot of girlfriends

I should have known them

Click your heels and count back from three

   Where'd you wanna go to

     A#maj7    D#maj7
With nothing beside you

    Bm7          E7          A
But webbing and curfews and rain?

Cm7                     F
   And everything that hurts you

    A#         D#
Is locked up inside you

Like butterflies with wings

    D              D7
And other perfect things
[Verse 2]
N.C.  F#m7                Bm7
We go     swimming in the sunshine

 G              D
Dangling from clotheslines

 Am7         Cmaj7     Gmaj7
Separate and fall into me

F#m                   Bm
    And did you ever seen me?

G       D
Me absolutely?

Am           C            G
Me, but all you, but still me?

 A
They did a lot of things right on this

 Em                       D            A  Em C A D
They did a lot of things right on this  girl
