F C G C F
My raw candy passion is bitter-sweet,
C G
Onto the teeth,

And made a concrete cavern of caterpillar concert hall.

I wish that we could sail our sad days away, forever,
G Am F C G
In deep blue seas of paper maché,
Am C
(Let's dance in the moonlight!)

A barracuda chased our dog days away, forever,
G Am F C G
Let's sink or swim, 'til we fall in love,
Am C
(And dance in the moonlight!)

When we join The Yacht Club.

VERSE 2
F C G C F
I would rather go swimming with great white sharks,
C G C
Than wade in romance,
F C G C F C G
'Cause I can never find the courage to ask her to dinner, or even to dance,
Dm C F G
Don't sweat under your overcoat,
Dm C F G
'Cause my heart can't hover this paddle boat,
Dm C F G
You'll hit the bottom of the highest note,
Am E7 C Dm F Fm
And the chatty tree frogs will never wanna leave your throat.

And plug in the party lights)

Soak your cares in the solar flares,

In the citrus afternoon)

If you can fly, don't stop at the sky,

'Cause there's footprints on the Moon.
