Intro: Bb F Eb Bb

Verse 1:
Bb
She sat on the cliff of the bed
Gm                   F
Tackled me with a plastic comb
Gm          F       Eb       Bb
Pressed her fingers into my head
Eb                    F
Start at the blonde, search for the bone
Gm           F            Bb            Eb
She tries to tame me, her nails and my knots
Gm             F                 Bb          Eb
Bathe with the sandman, dress up for what's not

Pre-Chorus:
       F              Eb
Let me tangle, let me dry
          F            Eb
Want it wicked, let me ride

Chorus:
          Ab
Come into my cave
     Eb              Bb
Blue hippo into the black
            Ab
I'm your problem child
Eb              Bb    F
Your matter of fact

Verse 2:
Bb            Eb     Bb
I slyly side-step, sorry
Gm             F
Drag my heels across the street
Gm  F        Eb     Bb
Shе tells me I'm unlettеred while
Eb                F
I read the backs of her knees
Gm            F        Bb             Eb
Catch me in habits one tight skyward eye
     Gm             F             Bb          Eb
Pull hats out of rabbits and salt out of the sky

Pre-Chorus:
       F              Eb
Let me tangle, let me try
          F            Eb
Want it wicked, let me rile

Chorus:
          Ab
Come into my cave
     Eb              Bb
Blue hippo into the black
            Ab
I'm your problem child -Problem-
Eb              Bb    F
Your matter of fact

Verse 3:
Bb                  Eb
What a thought was in whale water
    Gm                  F
Was really here runnin' through the pipes
Gm          Bb   Eb       Bb
To show off her flex-ability
Eb               F
She made a fool of my fight
Gm        Bb                          Eb
I bit her belly, she bellowed like a swan and
Gm              F                 Bb        Eb
Cured me like a petal, pressed in her open palm

Pre-Chorus:
       F              Eb
Let me tangle, let me try
          F            Eb
Want it wicked, let me rile

Out-Chorus:
          Ab
Come into my cave
     Eb              Bb
Blue hippo into the black
         Ab
I'm your problem child -Problem-
Eb              Bb
Your matter of fact
          Ab
Come into my cave
     Eb              Bb
Blue hippo into the black
         Ab
I'm your problem child -Problem-
Eb              Bb  F
Your matter of fact
