C - C/Bb - Am - Dm - D - G - G x2
C
I'm looking 'round madly
C/Bb
for something to find
Am
That might give me a front
Dm D G
To put something, something behind.
C
Just bouncing this ball
C/Bb
Up and down the hall
Am
But it's full of best wishes
Dm D G
and suffocating fishes, and all.
C
So, let's drink some wine
C/Bb
And have a good time.
Am
But if you really want to come through
Dm D G
Let the good time, good time have you.
G
It's what you've got to do.
C
You said it was foolish
C/Bb
for me to be sad;
Am Dm
But I'm very hungry, and you..
D G
You're very well fed,
G
You're such a fat lady.
C
And I'm talking to you
C/Bb
just for something to do
Am
'Cause I'd much rather kiss you
Dm D
But I know, I’m gonna miss you
G G
Again and again, I know I'm gonna miss you.
So, let's drink some wine, etc. x2
C - C/Bb - Am - Dm - D - G - G x5
C
I sing to the island
C/Bb
That sings in your head
Am Dm
'Cause I know you'd much rather be there
D G
Be there instead.
G
I know you'd rather be there...
C
But you won't find the answer
C/Bb
Even when the wind blows;
Am
'Cause the answer, my friend
Dm
is in front..
D G
Right there in front of your nose
G
Everybody knows, it's their nose.
So, let's drink some wine, etc. x2 (fade)
