Alvvays - Lollipop (Ode To Jim)

[Verse 1]
F C
Saw Jim Reid in the corridor and I wondered if he could ever see me that way
F C
He was on my list at the grocery store when you grabbed my wrist and said you liked my keychain
F C
Read your feature in the weekly paper and honestly I found it a little bit bloated
F Bb C
Friday we fell through the coffee table and that’s when I discovered that my heart exploded
[Pre-chorus]
Bb C
How
Bb C
How
[Chorus 1]
F Bb C
You’re a lollipop, in the form of a lightning bolt
F Bb C
You’re a lollipop in my hair
F Bb C
But I’m a gumdrop, am I ever gonna fit that mould?
F Bb C
Because I don’t have the patience to wait in line for you, ooh
[Verse 2]
F C
When I came back to apologize you asked me if I was intrigued by LSD
F C
I sat next to you on the picnic bench and before I knew it you were flying next to me
F C
I met your baby at the exposition and frankly I found it a little unnerving
F [N.C.]
I let you know when we were driving home and all I can remember is the fact that we're swerving
[Chorus 2]
F Bb C
Lollipop, in the form of a lightning bolt
F Bb C
You’re a lollipop in my hair (how could I ever obtain you?)
F Bb C
But you’re a doorstop, when you’re lying on the bathroom floor
F Bb C
And I don’t have the time to wait in line for you (how could I ever betray you?)
[Bridge]
Bb F Bb C
Alter my state to get through this date (and it swallows me whole)
Bb F
Alter my state to get through this date (You're alone in this picture)
Bb C
Alter my state to get through this date
Bb F Bb C F
(you're alone in this picture) Alter my state to get through this date
Bb F Bb B C
(You're alone in this picture) Alter my state to get through this date
[Chorus 3]
F Bb C
You're a lollipop, in the form of a lightning bolt (how could I ever betray you?)
F Bb C
You’re a lollipop in my hair (how could I ever obtain you?)
F Bb C
You look like Iggy Pop, circa ’73 or ‘4
F Bb C
And I don’t have the time to wait in line for you (how could I ever betray you?)
