E A G A E A D A C
    E                        A
She shone up bright like a knife

        G                     A 
Wearing tennis shorts made of stripes

        E           A                   D
Hand in hand to the grass and we got it right

       A 
Got it nice, nice, nice

       E                       A
Just a glimpse of an ankle and I

  G               A 
React like it's 1805

        E                         A                   D
And I'd swim to the poles just to find the right satellite

           A                          G
It'll take all of my strength to give up

                      A
'Cause you all know I tried

                    G
So forget about it, girl

                 A
My head's like a kite

                          E
When such a creature I sight

   A
To town!

           G                           A                       
Where your feet leave no prints on the ground

       E                    A                  D      A
Have I left my home just to whine in this microphone?

        E                        A
It gets worse every time that we talk

        G                        A
Can't afford to be just one in a flock

                E
But that's your lot

            A                      D
When you're after such a well-made lock

        A                          G
Who was classically trained to give up

                      A
And my friends know I tried

                    G
So forget about it, girl

                  A
Even I don't know why

             G       
I can't just stay the course

                     A
Keep my hands on the wheel

                    G
Our detractors were right

                 A
My head's like a kite

 C     C   C  C        C   C C 
'Cause all my thoughts run astray

C   C   C C  C    C  C
And I'm a walking cliche

C    C    C C   C    C C
When such a creature I sight
E A G A E A C D G A G A
             G       
I can't just stay the course

                     A
Keep my hands on the wheel

                    G
Our detractors were right

                 A
My head's like a kite
