[Intro]
A E B F#
[Verse 1]
A E B F#
The more I teach it, the less I can
A E B
Quick out the gates but slower out the pinecone
A E B F#
I took the fish out of the sea
A E B
Burnt down our house and asked the queen around for tea
[Pre-Chorus]
A E B
River to valley, coast to coast, and cheek to cheek
A E B
Wherever I go, there I am, sat next to me
[Chorus]
A E B F#
I wanna love you but it hurts, hurts, hurts
A E B F#
I wanna stay here but the time slips away from me
A E B F#
I wanna stay here in this curse, curse, curse
A A
Black flamingo, black flamingo
[Verse 2]
A E B F#
Up with the drawbridge, but down the hatch
A E B
The thoughts I juggle are made out of glass, oh
A E B F#
Always a pleasure, never a chore
A E B A
We break our legs and then hit the dancefloor
[Pre-Chorus]
E B
And it takes it out of me
A E B
Wherever I go, there I am indefinitely
A E B
We took a backflip and we landed on our teeth
A B
Oh, black flamingo, oh, black flamingo
[Bridge] X2
C# A
Give me a leg, give me a leg, give me a leg
G# F#
Give me a leg to stand on, stand on
A C#m
Give me a leg, give me a leg, give me a leg
F#
Give me a leg to stand on, stand on
[Chorus]
A E B F#
I wanna love you but it hurts, hurts, hurts
A E B F#
I wanna stay here but the time slips away from me
A E B F#
I wanna stay here in this curse, curse, curse
A A
Black flamingo, black flamingo
A E B F#
