[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?)

[Outro]
Bb  Am  Gm  Am
You           Wait for you
