E5When am I supposed to say C#5so lonB5g?
B5When I F#5fall in lC#5ove 'fore dB5usk is dEawn
EWhen you F#5take my C#5hand acrB5oss the lEawn
EWith the F#5eyes so C#5sweet they're B5like a faEwn
RedF#5 elepC#5hant isB5 wet &amEp; long...
E5How am I supposed to wash C#5you oB5ff?
E5Rungs of bad poems I've hackC#5ed &amB5p; coughed
B5But I hF#5ave to sC#5pare a bB5reath for yEou
EWhich I'll tF#5ake, beC#5fore we B5make anEew
Our hF#5earts will tC#5ake a stroB5ll for tEwo
Our F#5feet will tC#5ake the B5avenue E
&aF#5mp; WalC#5k in B5unison, Eso cute
Red eF#5lephaC#5nt is tuB5rning blEue
E5Why am I here when you're C#5over thB5ere?
Let's meet at the fountains
In Dundas Square
Who am I supposed to be with you?
I'll wait 'til you say & pretend I knew
B5Because F#5if it's C#5true that wB5alls can talEk
How mine would brag of tears I've sobbed
When thinking of the way we walked
Along the paths of sideway chalk
Forever under ticking clock
Where you & I are free to flock
E5What can I write when I know C#5it's wB5rong?
Slapping my knee to my own damn song
Where can we go when the sinking stops?
To the pit of my chest
As it drops and drops...
But your hF#5ead uC#5pon my B5chest, it bEreathes
And my fingers through your hair they weave
And your shoulders are the perfect sea
In which I get lost invariably
Oh the elephant is up to sea
If it meets the peach fish underneath
& When I am you and you are me
We are stirred as spoons in lover's tea
G#Whoa oh oh wF#hoa oh whoa oh Ewhoa
The chord changes come fast and furious at the end, but thats about it.
