[Intro] C#m7 Bsus2 C#m7 Bsus2 [Verse 1]
    C#m                         C#m7
She cooks you sweet potato, you don't like aubergine

    B                             Bsus2
She knows to boil the kettle when you hum bars from Grease

    C#m                       C#m7
She senses you are lonely but still she can't be sure

    B                               Bsus2
And so she stands and waits, stands anticipating (your thoughts)
[Chorus]
Emaj7
How can she become the psychic

G#m                          Dsus2     F#
That she longs to be to understand you

Emaj7
How can she become the psychic

G#m                          Dsus2     F#
That she longs to be to understand you
[Verse 2]
   C#m
He brushes thoroughly

   C#m7
He knows she likes fresh breath

   B
He rushes to the station

   Bsus2
He waits atop the steps

     C#m
He's brought with him a Mars bar

    C#m7
She will not buy Nestlé

    B
And later he'll perform

  Bsus2
A love-lorn serenade, a trade
[Chorus]
Emaj7
How can she become the psychic

G#m                          D         F#
That she longs to be to understand you

Emaj7
How can she become the psychic

G#m                          D         F#
That she longs to be to understand you
[Verse 3]
   C#m                     C#m7
So give her information to help her fill the holes

B                            Bsus2
Give an ounce of power so he does not feel controlled

C#m                         C#m7
Help her to acknowledge the pain that you are in

B                        Bsus2                  E
Give to him a glimpse of that beneath your skin
[Bridge]
Am           Amaj7       F#m7
Now my inner dialogue is heaving with detest

       C#m                                  F#
I am a martyr and a victim and I need to be caressed

  A              Amaj7           F#m
I hate that you negate me, I'm a ghost at beck and call

    C#m                     E                F#m
I'm fading and placating, berate myself for staying

    A    Amaj7
I'm a fool

F#m E  C#m
I'm   a fool
[Instrumental] Emaj7 G#m D F# Emaj7 G#m D F# [Outro]
   C#m                           C#m7
He greets the stranger meekly, a thing that she accepts

    B                           Bsus2
She sees him waiting often with chocolate on the steps

   C#m                        C#m7
He senses she is lonely she's glad they finally met

      B                      Bsus2
They take each other's hands walk into the sunset

E
Do you like sweet potato?
