[Verse]
A
If I'm walking I'm tripping over my two feet
D A
If I'm talking I don't know my name
A
I got hit by a bus in the middle of the street
E
Just jumped up and walked away
A
I been banging my head like a wood pecker babe
D B7
Laughing like I've gone insane
A E A
You gave a hammer for a heart and cotton candy for a brain
[Chorus]
A D A
I said E-M-I-L-Y why why tell me Emily
A E
You got me wrapped around your finger like a chain around a D-O-G, Yeah
A D A
I said E-M-I-L-Y why why tell me Emily
A E A
Oh, women like you are trouble with a capital T
[Verse]
A
Staying out so late that I can't tell the difference between
D A
The morning and night before
A
Crash a slip n' side party with a keg of beer
E
For the four year old twins next door
A
I built a sand castle big enough for two
D B7
And I gathered all the shells at shore
A E A
I'd give 'em all to you but you'd just ask for more
[Chorus]
A D A
I said E-M-I-L-Y why why tell me Emily
A E
You got me wrapped around your finger like a chain around a D-O-G, Yeah
A D A
I said E-M-I-L-Y why why tell me Emily
A E A
Oh, women like you are trouble with a capital T
[Solo]
A
So what's it goin to be baby you tell me
D A
All this waitin is becoming a crime
A
You got me stressing out, breaking out,
E
Chinese take out just about every night
A
Well don't step over a dollar
D B7
If you're trying just to pick up a dime
A E A
I've been calling out your name I guess I'll do it one more time
[Chorus]
A D A
I said E-M-I-L-Y why why tell me Emily
A E
You got me wrapped around your finger like a chain around a D-O-G, Yeah
A D A
I said E-M-I-L-Y why why tell me Emily
A E A
Oh, women like you are trouble with a capital T
A E A
I said, women like you are trouble with a capital T
