Elephant

this has got to die [E]

this has got to stop [G#m]

This has got to lie down [F#m]

With someone else on top [Am]

You can keep me pinned [E]

'Cause it's easier to tease [G#m]

But you can't paint an elephant [F#m]

Quite as good as she [Am]

And she may cry [E] like a baby [C#m]

And she may drive[F#m] me crazy [Am]

'Cause I [E] am lately [A]

Lo[F#m]nely[B]

 

So why'd you have[E] to lie?

I take it I'm your crutch[G#m]

The pillow in your pillow case[F#m]

Is easier to touch[Am]

When you think you've sinned[E]

Do you fall upon your knees?[G#m]

Or just sit within your picture[F#m]

You still forget the breeze[Am]

 

And she may rise[E]

If I sing you down[C#m]

And she may wisely[F#m]

[Am]Cling to the ground

'Cause I[E] am lately[A]

Ho[F#m]rny[B]

So why[E] would she[A] take me ho[F#m]rny[B]?

[F#m]What's the point of this song?[Am]

 

[F#m]You've already gone[B]

 

[F#m]Well I could throw it out

And I could[B] live without

 

[C#m]Tell me, do you want me to lie?[B]

Because this has got[E] to die

'Cause this has got to stop[G#m]

This has got to lie[F#m] down, down

With someone else on top[Am]

You can both[E] keep me pinned

'Cause it's easier to tease[G#m]

But you can't make me happy[F#m]

Quite as good as me[Am]...
