D
Banging on my tambarine
G
I didn't think I'd make a scene

Till everybody joined in the chase

I never meant to make you cry

My head was floating in the sky
D A
And nothing looked to be out of place
D G
I got my head like a cello
D
Melancholy blows, if it goes
G
Keep it mellow, baby
D G
Or should I pay attention to the alarm
D A
The sirens going off in a police car
D
And I forget

I forget to be cool cool cool

I try my best

To not get arrested by you you you

I thought that I could plinky plonk
G
Along the piano all I want
D A
I didn't think you'd hear a wrong note

I'm like a pencil old and blunt
G
And writing in a bolder font
D A
And I'm steady losing your vote

And I forget

Sirens going off in a police car
