Tuning: E A D G B E

[Intro] G 7x [Verse 1]

N.C

Elijah has brains and long legs and wears jeans at his hip

N.C

And nary a girl in the world has been missed by his grip

N.C

His long curly hair, that when wet, goes as far as his chin

N.C

And his knowledge of poets and punks is debatably thin

[Pre-chorus]

The ^Fthing i like most about ^Chim is what I see on the ^Gsurface ^DLike two distant shores, we are ^Cbound by a love that's an ^Gisthmus ^Em

[Chorus]

^FOh El^Dij^Gah^Em! ^F ^D ^G G *

[Verse 2] G * G Elijah, he lay in psychosis one bright sunny day G * G And even in sleep I cannot make myself walk away G * G So pretty was he, I said something I couldn't retract G * G And so for three years, he spent most of his time in the sack [Pre-Chorus]

Alt^Fhough it's November, I ^Cknow we won't make it to ^Gchristmas Like ^Dtwo distant shores, we are ^Cbound by a love that's an ^Gisthmus ^Em

[Chorus]

^FOh El^Dij^Gah^Em! ^FOh El^Dij^Gah^Em!

[Instrumental] F D G Em F D G [Verse 3]

^GElijah once told me in private that he'd like a break ^GAlthough he revealed through his actions that he was a fake ^GAnd so, then in public I told him that he's too dependent G (single strum, mute quickly) G And now to this day I maintain that I am unrepentant

[Pre-chorus] F * C * G All he can see through the tunnel is none of his business D * C * G Em Like two distant shores, we are bound by a love that's an isthmus [Chorus]

^FOh El^Dij^Gah^Em! ^F ^D ^G ^Em ^FOh El^Dij^Gah^Em! ^F ^D ^G ^Em ^FOh El^Dij^Gah^Em! ^F ^D ^G ^Em ^FOh El^Dij^Gah^Em! ^F ^D ^G ^Em
