AC#mG#A When you're riding the rails with those wide open eyes,
EBA Well there's one old southpaw you will always fight.
AC#mG#A And alone, on a worn out throne is the reigning Queen of the Questions.
EBA Why we blind footed toddlers ever started out.
EEmaj7B So don't get into me when I goose step
AC#mB Across the kitchen floor, you know I still adore all your mother's old-fashioned ways.
EEmaj7B So impressed that you hear my inventions.
AGA And that it matters more than what you saw with your eyes.
AC#mG#A Go along with the plan, your head is still right there where you put it--
EBA Under the bed, with the ice cream you could never find.
AC#mG#A And at night you go to bed and dream of the world to be what you wanted--
G#A You've got that girly draw, now flaunt it,
EBA And keep them all checking their watches when you're out tonight.
EEmaj7B So don't get into me when I goose step
AC#mB Across the kitchen floor, you know I still adore, are your eyes changing heads?
EEmaj7B So impressed that you hear my inventions.
AGAE And that it matters more than what you saw with your eyes.
