( Bm A )
Decided To sneak up away from your stomach And try your pulse
( Bm A )
And captured What seemed all unknowing and candid

          G         F#
But they suspected it was false

( Bm A )
She's playful The boring would warn you be careful Of her brigade
( Bm A )
In order to tame this relentless marauder

     G         F#
Move away from the parade
            G             F#         Bm
And she was walking on the tables in the glass house
G             F#              Bm
Endearingly bedraggled in the wind
G         F#               Bm
Subtle in her method of seduction
    G                       F#
The twenty little tragedies begin
 ( Bm  A )

( G  F#  Bm  All )
And she would throw a feather boa in the road
If she thought that it would set the scene
Unfittingly dipped into your companions
Enlighten them to make you see

            Bm              C#m7
And there's affection to rent
D    E         F#
The age of the understatement
            Bm          A   F#m G
Before the attraction ferments

F# G A
Kiss me properly and pull me apart

(same chords)
Affection to rent the age of the understatement
Before this attraction ferments
Kiss me properly and pull me apart

G     F#m    A     G F#m Em
  Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Gm                     F#m
And my fingers scratch at my hair
A                          Bm
Before my mind can get too reckless
The idea of seeing you here
Is enough to make the sweat grow cold
