Song 3: Turn
Capo 1
[Intro]
F C Am G
[Verse]
F C Am
I jump from thought to thought like a flea jumps to a light
G F
You could give an aspirin the headache of its life
C F
Maybe it's the crazy that I miss
F C Am
Watering plastic plants in the hope that they will grow
G F
Seeing a message flash and then smashing up my phone
C F
Maybe it's the crazy that I miss
N.C.
It won't get better than this
[Chorus]
F C
I like the way your brain works
Am
I like the way you try
G F
To run with the wolf pack when your legs are tired
C Am
I like the way you turn me inside and out
G
I like the way you turn
Dm C F
I like the way your brain works
G C F
I like the way your brain works
[Verse 2]
F C Am
I want to get college girl drunk tonight
G
No morning fears
G F
No mountains to climb
C Dm
They say the best memories are the ones that we forget
C F
Like
C Am
Listening to Drake at your best friends swimming pool
G F
Floating anti-clockwise in a red mushroom
C Am
Maybe it's the crazy that I miss
N.C.
It won't get better than this
[Chorus]
F C
I like the way your brain works
Am
I like the way you try
G F
To run with the wolf pack when your legs are tired

I like the way you turn
Dm C F
I like the way your brain works
G C F
I like the way your brain works
[Outro]
F C
Baby it's the crazy I like
Dm C F
I think I saw the world turn in your eyes
C Dm
Baby it's the crazy I like
F C
Maybe it's the bullshit I miss
Dm C F
Screaming at the moon in black lipstick
C Am
Maybe it's the bullshit I miss
G
It won't get better than this
Song 4: Black Flamingo
Capo 1
[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

Black flamingo, black flamingo

Capo 1
[Verse 1]
Em Bm A
I don't know how to deal with these New York City blues
Em Bm A
It's not much of a weekend, there's one of me and all of you

I'm somewhere in the hotel, I'm scrambling in the dark
Em Bm A
But you turned on the sprinklers and now I think I'm in a waterpark
[Pre-Chorus]

You bleach my heart, you do
[Chorus]
Em D
My white eyes don't care about the opening lines

I slipped and missed, a kink in the arithmetic
A Em
But baby, who you going home with?
D A
I need you the most, I need you the most
[Verse 2]
Em Bm A
Sometimes I feel the tension, you're the coldest form of warm
Em Bm A
It's hard to keep my chin up when my guts are lying on the floor
Em Bm A
I let you chew the red parts and eat my mind like a cake
Em Bm A
11 times round the block and you're the only drugs I wanna take
11 times round the block and you're the only drugs I wanna take
[Pre-Chorus]
C A
You clean my heart, you do
[Chorus]
Em D
My white eyes don't care about the opening lines
A Em
No matter how hard I try

I need you the most, I need you the most
Em D
I slipped and missed, a kink in the arithmetic

But baby, who you going home with?
D A
I need you the most, I need you the most
Em D A
I need you the most
[Pre-Chorus]
C A
You clean my heart, you do
C A
But still it twists like a Rubix cube
C A
You, you turn the oceans into streams
C A
You, you take in the best, the best of me
[Chorus]
Em D
My white eyes don't care about the opening lines
A Em
No matter how hard I try
D A
I need you the most, I need you the most
Em D
I slipped and missed, a kink in the arithmetic
A Em
But baby, who you going home with?
D A `Em D A Em
I need you the most, I need you the most
D A
I need you the most, I need you the most
Em D A
I need you the most
