This song is actually by The Jane Austen Argument, but they played it with AFP on
the album "Emanda Palmer Goes Down Under"
note: this song doesnt have a typical structure (verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus)
it basically just has an A section & a B section (which i think are in different keys) so i just labelled them
as verse & chorus.
[Verse]
G Bm
I have a little house
Em D G Bm Em
Close to town but not to the city
D G Bm Em
Far from home but near my family
D G Bm
No water views but so close to the sea
Em D G Bm Em D
I see, this is how my little life could be
G Bm Em
And I'm filling it with things
D G Bm Em
Like furniture I find on the street
D G Bm Em
And all the special things I'd like to eat
D G Bm Em
Pictures of people that I'd like to meet, I'll meet them
[Chorus]
D *Am
While I'm orbiting the world
*D *Am D
And it's so pretty and so lonely
[Verse]
G Bm Em D
My lovely love affairs are all scheduled 'round the TV guide
D G Bm Em
And my sex life has all been plagiarized
D G Bm Em D
In an attempt to meet a harsh deadline
G Bm Em
I'd like to rent a wife
D G Bm Em
Then rent a husband to keep her for life
D G Bm
The three of us, we could be so happy
Em D G Bm
Them with each other, me with company
Em D *Am
I'll see them off on a flight around the world
[Chorus]
*D *Am D
And it's so pretty and so lonely
Em D
I could just die, I might just die
Em D
I could just die, I might just die
[Verse]
G Bm Em
And at my funeral
D G Bm Em
They will say Tom he was such a nice guy
D G Bm Em
He went too early but he went in style
D G Bm Em
They'll play my music and then they will cry
D G Bm Em
Then they'll have a little wake
D G Bm Em
They'll drink bad wine and they'll eat lemon cake
D G Bm Em
And my mother's little heart will break
D G Bm
And she'll say "Wait there must be must some mistake.
Em D G Bm Em
He can't be dead, take me instead"
[Chorus]
D *Am
Oh, but I'm not dead
D
They tell me I'm not dead
*Am
And they say that I'm not dead
D
And that I won't die for some time
[Outro]
G Bm Em
In my little house
D G Bm Em
Just writing little songs to pass the time
D G Bm Em
Which incidentally is seven forty nine
D G Bm Em
So don't you worry I'm completely fine, I'm fine
D G Bm Em
And don't you worry I'm completely fine, I'm fine
D G Bm Em
Don't you worry I'm completely fine, I'm fine
D G Bm Em
Don't you worry I'm completely fine, I'm fine
D G Bm Em
Don't you worry I'm completely fine, I'm fine
D G
I'm just so fucking fine.
