G# E
Cancel my lowness with a high so here we go
G# E
Caught in arrears with your different ideas
G# F# E
And I'm saving all my troubles in my
G# F# E
Deceptive calendar mind
G# F# E
It's a dreadful situation really
G# F# E

"What's in a name?" says Elaine and her mind
G# E
Is a part of everything in time
G# F# E
She's fattened up for eating
G# F# E
With all her parts left behind
G# F# E
She's a sucker for your deepness
G# F# E
Shall we D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-dive?

(same chords as previous verse)
The world she says there's wrong
In all she says and do-be-do's
We understand but I can't when her hand
Is in saving all her troubles in her
Deceptive calandar mind
It's a dreadful situation really
D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-dive!
E A Dm
Life is bad so we are led to believe
F Eb Ab Bb
Bad news makes moneys world go round
F Bb Ebm
Anna Ford hammers a post into a cup
F# E A B
Of mud claiming it is the ground

G# F# E
Oh the grand old Duke of York
G# F# E
He had ten thousand men

He marched them up to the top of the hill

And he marched them down again
C# B
Oh no!
Dive!
