Elijah

G 7x

[Verse 1]
N.C
Elijah has brains and long legs and 
wears jeans at his hip
N.C
And nary a girl in the world has 
been missed by his grip
N.C
His long curly hair, that when wet, 
goes as far as his chin
N.C
And his knowledge of poets and punks
 is debatably thin

[Pre-chorus]
    F                       C     
The thing i like most about him is
                   G
 what I see on the surface
D                             
Like two distant shores, we are 
  C                         G     
bound by a love that's an isthmus

[Chorus]
F    D G Em F D G
Oh Elijah!

[Verse 2]
G *                            
Elijah, he lay in psychosis one 
         G
bright sunny day

G *                            
And even in sleep I cannot make 
         G
myself walk away
G *                                
So pretty was he, I said something 
          G
I couldn't retract
G *                             
And so for three years, he spent 
                      G
most of his time in the sack

[Pre-Chorus]
   F                      C       
Although it's November, I know we 
                 G
won't make it to christmas
     D                         
Like two distant shores, we are 
 C                         G       
bound by a love that's an isthmus
Em


[Chorus]
F    D G Em
Oh Elijah!
F    D G Em
Oh Elijah!

[Verse 3]
G
Elijah once told me in private that 
he'd like a break
G
Although he revealed through his 
actions that he was a fake
G
And so, then in public I told him 
that he's too dependent
G (single strum, mute quickly)      
     G
And now to this day I maintain that 
I am unrepentant

[Pre-chorus]
F *               C *          G
All he can see through the tunnel is
 none of his business
D *                    C *     
Like two distant shores, we are 
         G       Em
bound by a love that's an isthmus

[Chorus]
F    D G Em F D G Em
Oh Elijah!
F    D G Em F D G Em
Oh Elijah!
F    D G Em F D G Em
Oh Elijah!
F    D G Em F D G Em
Oh Elijah!
