i love this song. wish i wrote it.
hard to sing, though,
unless you've got pitch-perfect 3 part harmony...
i LOVE the dissonant verses , which i used to drive my ex-landlady
crazy listening to at top volume 15 years ago (but it served her
right,as she'd make me nuts listening to opera at 1000 decibles...)
i think this is right, but maggie tunes her guitar down to,
i think, Eb (if you want to play along w/the recording).
corrections, suggestions, etc. are welcome.

is it because I am you?

I've got to get away from you
A D A D
i need to find a love that's true

I'll come and visit you in the zoo

set down your key and trumpet

a fuse blew when you tried

to fix the worn out wire

and set the house on fire

if only for a day or two
