Verse:
 E                                            A Am
For a little while now I've had bees in my hair
          E                                             A Am
Not too many mind, but enough to know that they're there
                D                                      A Am
And though the buzzing seems to comfort me at odd times
      E                                   A
I'm shrouded by the bruises they like to give

Pre-chorus:
 Am          A         Am
So much that I can't see
              D
Through the holes where my eyes used to be
       E                                    A Am
The black and yellow hypnotist has me blind

Chorus:
        E              D
But genuinely I guarantee what is meant to be will be
        A                 Am
And if cut my hair and change the weather
                  A                     Am                    E
Then they'll understand that we were never meant to be together


 E                      D
And I can handle a nettle tea once in every while
            A                  Am              A
But with swollen ears I can never seem to smile

Interlude: Am     E

Verse:
              E                                    A Am
It seems the bees and bugs have all now gone to bed
            E                                             A Am
But their hively home hasn't packed and moved from my head
         D                               A                         Am
And I figure I'll be lonely, but it's better than my skin being bullied
       E                                  A           Am
So I think I'll take the risk and hurry back to home

Chorus:
        E            D
And genuinely I guarantee what is meant to be will be
        A                 Am
And if cut my hair and change the weather
                  A                     Am                    E
Then they'll understand that we were never meant to be together


 E                      D
And I can handle a nettle tea once in every while
            A                  Am              A
But with swollen ears I can never seem to smile

Interlude: Am     E

E A Am (x2)

Bridge:
       E                                  A Am
And I hope one day that I can give a home
        E                             A Am
To a creature that is kinder to my soul
    E                                      A Am
And I will hold your hand while we grow old
     E                      A Am
And I will never let you go

Chorus:
          E          D
And genuinely I guarantee what is meant to be will be
        A                 Am
And if cut my hair and change the weather
                  A                     Am                    E
Then they'll understand that we were never meant to be together


 E                      D
And I can handle a nettle tea once in every while
            A                  Am              A
But with swollen ears I can never seem to smile

Outro:
        A                   Am               E
With swollen ears I can never seem to smile
        A                   Am              E
With swollen ears I can never seem to smile


     A          Am               E
So let's stay lonely for a while
