Intro Em Am D
Em Am D Em
This is the most unusual story, of a most unusual girl
Am D Em
she stood painting my picture, of a most unusual world
Am D Em
she can crawl out of frame while shes hanging on the wall
Am D
and shes calling my name
Em Am D
shes not so usual
repeat
shes most unusual
repeat
shes not so usual
repeat
shes so unusual
Em Am D Em
shes mostly a ghost, the way she watches over me
Am D Em
she complains when i smoke, but then you do the same to me
Am D Em
shes controlling my brain activity, knowing when i go to sleep
Am D
she'll catch you when I'm falling hard
Em Am D
shes so unusual
repeat
shes not so usual
repeat
shes not so usual
repeat
shes so unusual
Am
shes not so hooked on the drugs like i thought she was
D
and never sucking on the lime, and hardly sipping on the wine
Am
and dispite of her biopolar rollercoastering
D
i think i can try, she'll keep me singing differently
G D Em
and its fine cause shes with me now, most all of the time
Am
trying to saving the light, thinking not of her own
D
and always kissing me goodnight when i just need to be alone
G D Em
shes so sweet, so discrete, shes exactly what i need
Am D
not even make believe
Em Am D
shes not so usual

She can crawl out of frame while shes hanging on the wall
Am B7
And she's callin' my name
Em Am B7
She's not so usual, Oh, no
Em Am B7
She's not so usual, Oh, No!
Em Am B7
She's mostly a ghost, the way she watches over me

I think I can try, she'll keep me singing differently,
G D Em
And it's fine, cause she's with me now, most all of the time,

Trying and saving my life, thinking not of her own,

Am B7
Not even make believe... Ohh
Em Am B7 ... Em
B7
She's not so usual
Em Am B7 ... Em
B7
She's not so You... Ha..!
(Continue playing Em Am B7 throughout Vocal Ad-libs)
Oh... well say she's not so, not so usual, use,
But see she not too practical neither, babe.
I say she not so, not so mystical,
Not so magical - why? Because she say so.
An' not so out of control,
And not so...Into the phone.
She's not so u-sua-al.
She's a natural,
Oh, she's not so... u-sua-al-Oh! Oh!
All she wants to do is so-oul!
But she's not so you - Ha!
She's not so you.
Not so low!
(End on Em Am-Em)
