I once knew a pair that used to fit very tight

A belief in a soul, in a beauty, or in a touch?

Ba ba bada ba, it's like a three-legged dog in search of a crutch

C          D      A                                       Riff 1
Ba ba bada ba, dissecting in past all the motives of such

Ba ba bada ba, and now the two of them are lost in a screaming battleground
[Verse 4]
     A                             C
With support all around him like a fence or a drink

       G                    A
He realizes in sadness that now he must begin to think

Ba ba bada ba, to filter his energy upon losses and fame

C          D          A                                             Riff 1
Ba ba bada ba, she'll think of the restful the peaceful or the gain
[Verse 5]
    A                               C
His sister's a friend, she's like a relative to both

Obliged to her brother under silhouetted oath

Ba ba bada ba, but she's there for the two with her bias undone

But today they've still yet to look each other in the eye

         G                    A
And in a second he manages to dip to the other side

C          D             A
Ba ba bada ba, up to the people of the sky
