Avocado Baby

C Em Dm Em F G

[Verse 1]
     C              Em
When you came around
    Dm                 Em
And offered nothing new
F       G
Nothing old
C                Em
Nothing I could use
  Dm                Em
I wondered when did you
F               G
Give up on the way
   C                Em
We spent our spring days
Dm            Em
Constantly talking
F           G            C
Finding our voices amazing


[Pre-Chorus]
    Am
You called me over
         F
Though I drive you crazy
   C                            G
My eye's still as strong as the avocado, baby
         Am                          F
Though my hands start shaking in the second I awaken;
C              G
I am soft, and still, and lazy


[Chorus]
      C                    Em
And my tongue is on the run
         Dm                Em
And it's only just begun...
        Am                                 F
Did you ever see a good joke turn so sour?
   C                   Em
My tongue is on the run
         Dm                  Em
And it's having so much fun...
    Am                         F
I'm growing younger by the hour

[Verse 2]
F G      C                    Em
I should wait until the spring
Dm                   Em
Wait until the spring
       F         G             C          Em
But my carpet is crawling with crocodiles
      Dm           Em              F             G
And a dozen porcupines point their needles in my thumb
    C        Em Dm           Em
Now, tippy Tina tippy-toes into the picture
F              G
With a rolling thumb and finger...
C       Em Dm           Em
Tippy Tina tippy-toes into the picture
F              G                C
With a rolling thumb and finger figure...


[Pre-Chorus]
    Am
You called me over
         F
Though I drive you crazy
   C                            G
My eye's still as strong as the avocado, baby
          Am                         F
Though my hands start shaking in the second I awaken;
C              G
I am soft, and still, and lazy


[Chorus]
       C                   Em
And my tongue is on the run
         Dm                Em
And it's only just begun...
        Am                                F
Did you ever see a good joke turn so sour?
   C                   Em
My tongue is on the run
         Dm               Em
And it's having so much fun...
   Am                         F
I'm growing younger by the hour
