^C Pale, pubescent ^Fbeasts, Roam through the ^Gstreets and coffee-^Amshops. Their ^Dm7prey gather in ^Fherds, Of stiff knee-length ^D#skirts and white ankle-^C#socks. But ^Cwhile they search for a ^Ammate, My type hiber-^Gnate, in bedrooms a-^Ambove, Com-^D7posing their ^Fsongs ^Gof ^Clove.

Verse 2:

^C Young, uniform ^Fminds, In uniform ^Glines and uniform ^Amties. Run ^Dm7round, with trousers on ^Ffire, And signs of de-^D#sire they cannot dis-^C#guise, While ^CI, try to find ^Fwords, As light as the ^Gbirds, that circle a-^Ambove, To ^D7put in my ^Fsongs ^Gof ^Clove.

Bridge 1:

^G# Fate doesn't ^A#hang on a ^Cwrong, or right ^Amchoice. ^G# Fortune de-^A#pends on the ^Ctone, of your ^Gvoice.

Verse 3:

So ^Csing while, you have ^Ftime, Let the sun ^Gshine, down from a-^Ambove; And ^D7fill you with ^Fsongs ^Gof ^Clove.

Solo: C F G Am, Dm7 F D# C# C F G Am, D7 F G C Bridge 2:

^G# Fate doesn't ^A#hang on a ^Cwrong, or right ^Amchoice. ^G# Fortune de-^A#pends on the ^Ctone, of your ^Gvoice.

Verse 3:

So let's ^Csing, while we still ^Fcan, While the sun ^Ghangs, high up a-^Ambove. ^D Wonderful ^Fsongs of ^Amlo...^Cove, ^D7 Beautiful ^Fsongs ^Gof ^Clove.
