Still all together

  Dm
Before Doc slept with Jem and ran away

 Dm                             C
Hope that doesn't weigh on Jem back then

                 C
Everybody had a gob on 'em

Dm                        C
17 says, take me to your leader

Bb          G      A
17 is antigravity, oh

17 says, help me find my people

Bb                                   A   A7
The ones I'll always need and never see, oh

Dm
Xena Cortina and her chattering, skint Athenians

 Dm
Licking stamps in the dress-up box

                  C
Trying everything on

                  C
Trying everything on

 Dm
Jesus Abyssinia

 Dm
Never trust crushed anything

 Dm
Just too old to be holding court

                  N.C  C
Trying everything on

Dm                      C
17 says, feed me, feed the meter

17 is don't you say a word, boy

Dm                          C
Took aside by cellar party teacher

Bb                         A     A7
No one knew but everybody heard, boy

Dm                     C
17 drops every golden baton

Bb                     G    A
17 is parking nose-to-nose, oh

Dm                                     C
Smoking, splitting hairs and smashing atoms

 Bb                                A    A7
Chosen by the bunch of souls you chose

      Dm
Very Heaven
