Spitting Games
the start of the song which is also the bridge goes:
D Em Bm G G
ohhhh, ohhhhhhh, ohhhhhhh, ohhhhhhh, ohh.
D C Bm G
I broke into your house last night,
D C Bm G
And left a note at your bedside,
D C Bm G
I'm far too shy to speak to you at school,
D C Bm G
You leave me numb and i'm not sure why,
Bridge
D C Bm G
I find it easier to sit and stare,
D C Bm G
Than push my limbs out towards you out there,
D C Bm G
My heart is bursting in your perfect eyes,
D C Bm G
As blue as oceans and as pure as skies,
F G D
I struggle for the words and then give up,
F G D
My heads up with the birds on the t-hut,
F G D
A little piece of mind that i know better,
F G D
Than the plain disgrace of all my letters,
Bridge
D C Bm G
After that the floodgates opened up,
D C Bm G
And i fell in love with everyone i saw,
D C Bm G
Please take your time i'm not in any rush,
D C Am G
And its in everything I ever write
F G D
Its not as if i need the extra weight,
F G D
Confused enough by life so thanks a lot,
F G D
Lonely written words for company,
F G D
Just raise the roof this once and follow me,

Intro:
D Em F#m G 2x
Verse 1:
D C Bm G
I broke into your house last night
D C Bm G
And left a note at your bedside
D C Bm G
I'm far too shy to speak to you at school
D C Bm G
You leave me numb and I'm not sure why
Interlude:
D Em F#m G 2x
Verse 2:
D C Bm G
I find it easier to sit and stare
D C Bm G
Than push my limbs out towards you out there
D C Bm G
My heart is bursting in your perfect eyes
D C Bm G
As blue as oceans and as pure as skies
Bridge 1:
F G D
I struggle for the words and then give up
F G D
My head's up with the birds on the t-hut
F G D
A little piece of mind that I know better
F G D
Than the plain disgrace of all my letters
Interlude:
D Em F#m G 2x
Verse 3:
D C Bm G
But after that the floodgates opened up
D C Bm G
And I fell in love with everyone I saw
D C Bm G
Please take your time, I'm not in any rush
D C Bm G
And it's in everything I ever write
Bridge 2:
F G D
It's not as if I need the extra weight
F G D
Confused enough by life, so thanks a lot
F G D
Lonely written words for company
F G D
Just raise the roof this once and follow me
Interlude:
D Em F#m G 4x
Bridge 1 (acoustic):
F G D
I struggle for the words and then give up
F G D
My head's up with the birds on the t-hut
F G D
A little piece of mind that I know better
F G D
Than the plain disgrace of all my letters
