I'm in love,            With that song
[Verse 2] (same as verse 1 chords) Cerebral rape and pillage in a village of his choice. Invisible man who can sing in a visible voice. Feeling like a hundred bucks, exchanging good lucks face to face. Checkin' his stash by the trash at St. Mark's place. [Pre-Chorus] Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes round [Chorus] They sing, I'm in love, what's that song I'm in love, with that song [Bridge]

[Verse 3] (same as verse 1) Runnin' 'round the house, Mickey Mouse and the Tarot cards. Falling asleep with a flop pop video on. If he was from Venus, would he meet us on the moon? If he died in Memphis, then that'd be cool, babe. [Pre-Chorus] Children by the million wait for Alex Chilton to come around [Chorus] They sing i'm in love, what's that song I'm in love, with that song I'm in love, what's that song Yea i'm in love, with that song [Outro]
