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

Keep my hands on the wheel

My head's like a kite

Verse:
To town!
Where you’re feet leave no prints on the ground
Have I left my home just to whine in this microphone?
It gets worse every time that we talk
Can’t afford to be just one in a flock
But that’s your lot
When you’re after such a well-made lock
Who was classically trained to give up
Ch:
And my friends know I tried
So forget about it, girl
Even I don’t know why
I can’t just stay the course
Keep my hands on the wheel
Our detractors were right
My head’s like a kite

All my thoughts run astray
And I’m a walking cliche
When such a creature I sight
Solo over verse

I can’t just stay the course
Keep my hands on the wheel
Our detractors were right
My head’s like a kite
