Chords

[Verse 1]
G
Elijah has brains and long legs and wears jeans at his hip

G
And nary a girl in the world has been missed by his grip

G
His long curly hair, that when wet, goes as far as his chin

G
And his knowledge of poets and punks is debatably thin
[Pre-Chorus]
      F                      C                      G
The thing i like most about him is what I see on the surface

      F                          C                        G         E
Like two distant shores, we are bound by a love that's an isthmus
[Chorus]
F  D   G
Oh Elijah!
[Interlude] F D G [Verse 2]
G
Elijah, he lay in psychosis one bright sunny day

G
And even in sleep I cannot make myself walk away

G
So pretty was he, I said something I couldn't retract

G
And so for three years, he spent most of his time in the sack
[Pre-Chorus]
F                        C                           G
Although it's November, I know we won't make it to christmas

F                               C                          G         E
Like two distant shores, we are bound by a love that's an isthmus
[Chorus]
F   D   G  E
Oh Elijah!

F   D   G
Oh Elijah!
[Interlude] F D G E F D G [Verse 3]
G
Elijah once told me in private that he'd like a break

G
although he revealed through his actions that he was a fake

G
And so, then in public I told him that he's too dependent

G
And still to this day I maintain that I am unrepentant
[Pre-chorus]
F                           C                       G
All he can see through the tunnel is none of his business

F                               C                           G      E
Like two distant shores, we are bound by a love that's an isthmus
[Chorus]
F  D  G  E
Oh Elijah!

F  D  G  E
Oh Elijah!

F  D  G  E
Oh Elijah!

F  D  G  E
Oh Elijah!
[Outro] F D G E (x3) F D G
