Verse 2: [use verse 1 chords]
This pricey stuff makes me dizzy, I guess I've always been a delicate man
Takes me a day to remember a day
I didn't mean to let it get so far out of hand
I was a comfortable kid, but I don't think about it much anymore
Lay me on the table, put flowers in my mouth
And we can say that we invented a summer lovin' torture party
I'm too tired to drive anyway, anyway right now, do you care if I stayed?
You can put on your bathing suits
And I'll try to find something on this thing that means nothin' enough
Post-chorus chords:
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
I want to sit in and die
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
I want to sit in and die
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...
Outro:
F# C#5
Losin' my breath, doo doo doo doo doo doo...
