[INTRO]
A
[VERSE 1]
A
Her majesty was so fine he almost thought that she was real
Dmaj7
But she's divine
A
He thought she was caught up in a web
Dmaj7
But she's the tangle
A
And as she went flying through the air
Dmaj7
He caught on by her ankle
A
Her attitude is all right she's mainly on the up
Dmaj7
But she tends to lie
A
He thought she was swimming against the tide
Dmaj7
But she's the tangle
A
And as she went butterflying down
Dmaj7
She led on to strangle
[CHORUS]
Dmaj7
And he went diving diving down diving down diving down
A
Just to be deeper
Dmaj7
And he only took her money 'cause he thought that he
A
Could never really keep her
[VERSE 2]
A
This century will fall down we always thought it was a queen
Dmaj7
But it's just a crown
A
We thought she was caught up in a web
Dmaj7
But she's the tangle
A
As she went flying through the air
Dmaj7
He fell off at an angle
A
The legacy was burning bright she's living in a dream
Dmaj7
But she's all right
A
He thought she was dying of a scream
Dmaj7
But she's the screamer
A
And when she passed him on the end
Dmaj7
She smiled and he believed her
[CHORUS]
Dmaj7
And he went diving diving down diving down diving down
A
Just to be deeper
Dmaj7
And he only took her money 'cause he thought that he
A
Could never really keep her
[VERSE 3]
