Magpie Eggs

Em                       D       Am             C
Looks like you've been eating magpie eggs again
             D         Em
'Cause your face is a stamp
                         D       Am                C
That's rejecting the little red marks to comprehend
                  D              Am
What's not that good, and what's bad
           Am          Bm           C
So, first I'll have a day off to recover
                   D                   Am
And then another week to make my plans
                   Bm                           C      D
And if you're not back when that first day's over


Em   D   Am  C  Bm  Em

Em   D   Am  C  Bm  D


[Verse 2]
 Em                D             Am
Looks as if your eggs are all rotten
      C          D        Em
And now is the time to rely
                      D            Am
On the spellbinder's hat and his magic
        C          D        Am
Blue tie as our oceans run dry
                  Bm                      C
The first day's when you'll get your toothbrush back
           D                    Am
And the second one's made to compare
                  Bm             C
As you put the lotion in your backpack
    D
I am already there


Em   D   Am  C  Bm  Em

Em   D   Am  C  Bm  D


Am                         Bm
There's no longer no one asking your name
Am                   Bm
At the beach house grill on the fourth floor
Am                Bm
And when you go out for a swim
Am                D                Am
You'll probably leave that face indoors
                 Bm
Looks like the eggs are ready hatched now
Am                   D                            Am
And like you chose wrong when you went for tails
                  Bm             C
But how am I to forget you're there
            D              Em
With your skin under my nails


Em   D   Am   C  Bm

Em   D   Am   C  Bm


 Em              D         Am
       And it's always the same
 Em              D         Am
       And it's always the same
 Em              D         Am
       It is always the same
