Nettle Tea

 E                                 
For a little while now I've had 
           A Am
bees in my hair
          E                     
Not too many mind, but enough to 
                        A Am
know that they're there
                D              
And though the buzzing seems to 
                        A Am
comfort me at odd times
      E                    
I'm shrouded by the bruises 
               A
they like to give


[Pre-Chorus]
 Am          A         Am
So much that I can't see
              D
Through the holes where my eyes used
 to be
       E                           
The black and yellow hypnotist has 
         A Am
me blind


[Chorus]
        E              D
But genuinely I guarantee what is 
meant to be will be
        A                 Am
And if cut my hair and change the 
weather
                  A                
Then they'll understand that we 
     Am                    E
were never meant to be together

 E                      D
And I can handle a nettle tea once 
in every while
            A                  Am 
But with swollen ears I can never 
             A
seem to smile

  Am     E

[Verse]
              E                    
It seems the bees and bugs have all
                A Am
 now gone to bed
            E                      
But their hively home hasn't packed
                       A Am
 and moved from my head
         D                      
And I figure I'll be lonely, but 
         A                    
it's better than my skin being 
     Am
bullied
       E                         
So I think I'll take the risk and 
         A           Am
hurry back to home


[Chorus]
        E            D
And genuinely I guarantee what is 
meant to be will be
        A                 Am
And if cut my hair and change the 
weather
                  A                
Then they'll understand that we 
     Am                    E
were never meant to be together

 E                      D
And I can handle a nettle tea once 
in every while
            A                  Am 
But with swollen ears I can never 
             A
seem to smile

  Am     E
*insert ohs*

E A Am
E A Am


[Bridge]
       E                           
And I hope one day that I can give 
       A Am
a home
        E                          
To a creature that is kinder to my 
   A Am
soul
    E                              
And I will hold your hand while we 
        A Am
grow old
     E                      A Am
And I will never let you go


[Chorus]
          E          D
And genuinely I guarantee what is 
meant to be will be
        A                 Am
And if cut my hair and change the 
weather
                  A                
Then they'll understand that we 
     Am                    E
were never meant to be together

 E                      D
And I can handle a nettle tea once 
in every while
            A                  Am 
But with swollen ears I can never 
             A
seem to smile


[Other]
        A                   Am    
With swollen ears I can never seem
           E
 to smile
        A                   Am    
With swollen ears I can never seem
          E
 to smile

     A          Am               E
So let's stay lonely for a while
