Kate Nash – Mariella (Guitar)

          C
I'm heavy handed t say the least

          C
My mother thinks I'll be an awful clutcher

              C
Cause I spill things from stirring 'em too quickly

            C
I'm far too loud

              C
It's like, as soon as I've got an opinion it just has to come out

           C
I laugh at stupid things just cause they tickle me

    C Am G
And

    F       C   Am G F
Sometimes I wish

    C              Am       G   F
Sometimes I wish I was like Mariella

    C        Am                  G                F
She got some Pritt Stick and she glued her lips together

       C                  Am                 G                  F
So she never had to speak never had to speak never had to speak

C                           Am
People used to say she's as quiet as a mouse

         G              F
She just doesn't make a peep

        C          Am           G              F
She marched to her wardrobe and threw away the color

       C                       Am
Because wearing black looks mysterious

       G                  F
But it didn't impress her mother

    C                   Am      G            F
She wanted to dress her baby in patterns and flowers

    C             Am
But Mariella just crossed her arms

    G                F
And so she cried for hours

C        Am      G          F
Mariella Mariella my pretty baby girl

  C                   Am
Unglue your lips from being together and

    G         F
And wear some pink and pearls

C                 Am                G                 F
You can have your friends round and they can stay for tea

C              Am            G                  F
Won't you just try to fit in please do this for me

    C             Am                      G             F
But Mariella just crossed her arms as she walked up the stairs

        C             Am              G            F
And she went into her bedroom and she sat on her bed

        C             Am             G             F
And she looked in the mirror and she thought to herself

     C                 Am                G                 F
If I wanna play, I can play with me if I wanna think, I'll think in my head

   C           Am          G         F
At school, Mariella didn't have many friends

         C              Am                     G                     F
Yeah the girls they all looked at her and they thought she was quite strange

        C                Am          G             F
And the boys they're not really into girls at that age

        C                     Am           G                    F
And the teachers they thought Mariella was just going through a phase

    C             Am            G                 F
But Mariella just smiled as she skipped down the road

            C            Am      G      F
Because she knew all the secrets in her world

        C              Am                G          F
Yes she always got the crossword puzzles right everyday

              C               Am                G             F
And she could do the alphabet backwards without making any mistakes

C         Am       G
Mariella, Mariella

            F
The pretty, pretty girl

C         Am

G            F          C     Am
Happy in her own little world

G            F          Cm    Am G
Happy in her own little world

        F
And she said

         C                    Am                  G                   F
Yeah I'm never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever

         C                    Am                  G                   F
Yeah I'm never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever

         C                    Am                  G                   F
Yeah I'm never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever

      C           Am           G
Gonna unglue my lips from being together

    F
She said

         C                    Am                  G                   F
Yeah I'm never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever

         C                    Am                  G                   F
Yeah I'm never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever

C         Am        G                   F
Ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever

      C           Am           G          F
Gonna unglue my lips from being together

         C
