VERSE
i Elie on a sofa Amaj7awake, it's what you Bsaid last night
you'd Elike us on top of a Amaj7cake but you won't Blet me take a bite
INTERLUDE: E Amaj7 B
Eflowers arriving in Amaj7fleets, can't we Btalk about this
Ewhy let the state in our Amaj7sheets, can't we Bdo without it
PRE-CHORUS
E well i don't Emaj7mean to wind you up, but i'd Abm7like to slow B7it down
E how do Emaj7i remain a Abm7pup if you pB7ut me in a gown.
CHORUS
C#m what's it got to do with F#m7you?
what's it got to do with Abm7me?
how can i lose F#m7control, when you're driving from the back C#mseat?
C#m what's it got to do with F#m7you?
what's it got to do with Abm7me?
how can i lose F#m7control, when you're B7driving from the back Eseat?
INTERLUDE: E Amaj7 B
VERSE
Ecorners begin to reAmaj7peat, i think we're Bgetting lost
we Ewalked to the end of the Amaj7street but we were Bbitten by the frost
PRE-CHORUS
E so if you Emaj7have to thaw me Abm7out, you can B7put me in a pail
E can we Emaj7take another Abmroute? i don't B7want to wear a veil
CHORUS
C#m what's it got to do with F#m7you?

BRIDGE
C#m7 i'll wait in the lF#m7obby for Abm7someone to C#m7show,
C#m7 and if they don't F#m7come, i will Abm7know where to C#m7go
C#m7 the bodies are linF#m7ed up outAbm7side in the C#m7hall,
C#m7 i don't want to deF#m7cay in a mB7all
E if everything you say is F#m7true, then why would i disAbm7agree how could i lose F#m7control
