  I could drown myself in metaphor
F          Fm                    
  I could crown your head and 
             Em
catch the floor
         Am7                 F
  Lookin' up at a yellow girl
                 Fdim              
She won't cut me free of her

Vanilla Curls


[Verse 1]
                   Cdim   
I'm tied up in her shy and 
                         F
fair-haired fairy prison
                     Fm            
I thought that I was high, but I 
              Em
had barely risen
                      Am       
Equipped with private eyes, her 
                          C
stare declared me missing
                            Fdim   
Tried to talk myself out of it, but
               C
 I never listen

C Cdim F Fm Em Am F Fdim

[Pre-Chorus]
C                                
Two pairs of bare feet sneak out 
B
bearing secret care
       F                          
Scared to make a scene, but can't 
Dm
bare to let it be
Em                                
One stairwell love affair pairs 
   C
well with twenty beers
D                          G
Can you carry my care dear?

What will it taaaaaake?
              Em     G    F    G
Was this a Mistake?

[Verse 2]
Em                           
In a minute she already put my 
  G
feelings in their place
       C                   G7     
I hate vegetables, but I'd put 
                   C
that stringbean on my plate

B F Fm
              Em                   
She caught me by the ear and left 
        C                     C
me lying here in writhing fear
                   G7
If I get any deeper, I might need 
diving gear

[Verse]
Em                        C      
Instant kindred inhibition, a 
                C
kiss then distance
                            G7
It isn't over, lets call it:

An infinite intermission

If I'm a bitter cold, then you're
