If you= can come up with anything better for the chorus, please repost it. Also,= I don't have time to figure out the solo. If there's any interest, maybe= someone could post that too. VERSE
Am         F      C          E
   I got a crush,   copy shop clerk

Am               F            C(hit C chord and quickly mute)
   But she won't look up at me

Am                  F
   Don't want to be known as the freak

C                 E                   Am(hit and mute)
   Who just comes around to catch her eye
CHORUS
            A               D                 Bm             E
We could be sleeping in the flowers, We could sleep all afternoon

I declare that I am England, You declare that I have drowned
INTERLUDE (This part is tough to show rythm as there are no words, but basically the guitar just plays one note on the high E string)
e5-5-5-55-55-5-55-5-5-5-55-55-5-5e This is the rythm I use with each =
dash or 5 Equals a sixteenth note but I think you can figure it out Then the bass does somthing like this:
G-------------------0-|----------------0-----|G
D---------------2--2--|------------2--2------|D
A---0---3---5---------|0-0-3---5-------------|A
E---------------------|----------------------|E
Repeat these figures twice, then back to the verse
Am        F     C            E
   I got a ride, home with a drunk guy

Am       F                    C(hit and mute)
   How ungreatful I must have seemed

Am           F      C                E
   He showed me how, to spin my head round and round
