Intro:
C          Cdim
  I could drown myself in metaphor
F          Fm                                 Em
  I could crown your head and catch the floor
         Am7                 F
  Lookin' up at a yellow girl
                 Fdim                   C
She won't cut me free of her Vanilla Curls
 
Verse 1:
                   Cdim                            F
I'm tied up in her shy and fair-haired fairy prison
                     Fm                          Em
I thought that I was high, but I had barely risen
                      Am                                 C
Equipped with private eyes, her stare declared me missing
                            Fdim                  C
Tried to talk myself out of it, but I never listen
 
Interlude: C Cdim F Fm Em Am F Fdim
 
Pre-chorus:
C                                B
Two pairs of bare feet sneak out bearing secret care
       F                          Dm
Scared to make a scene, but can't bare to let it be
Em                                   C
One stairwell love affair pairs well with twenty beers
D                          G
Can you carry my care dear?
 
Chorus:
             C   B7  F     E7
What will it taaaaaake?
              Em     G    F    G
Was this a Mistake?
               C    B      F     E7
I'm paying the priiiiiiiiiice
                 Em    G    F    G
For those velvet eyes
 
Interlude: C B F Fm7
 
Verse 2:
Em                             G
In a minute she already put my feelings in their place
       C                   G7                        C
I hate vegetables, but I'd put that stringbean on my plate
 
B F Fm
              Em                           C                     C
She caught me by the ear and left me lying here in writhing fear
                   G7
If I get any deeper, I might need diving gear
 
Interlude: C B F Fm
 
Verse:
Em                        C                      C
Instant kindred inhibition, a kiss then distance
                            G7
It isn't over, lets call it:
 
An infinite intermission
 
Pre-chorus:
C                                B
Two pairs of bare feet sneak out bearing secret care
       F                          Fm
Scared to make a scene, but can't bare to let it be
Em                              A
If I'm a bitter cold, then you're the remedy
D                          G
Can you carry my care dear?
 
Chorus:
             C   B7  F     E7
What will it taaaaaake?
              Em     G    F    G
Was this a Mistake?
               C    B      F     E7
I'm paying the priiiiiiiiiice
                 Em    G    F    G
For those velvet eyes
