Capotraste: Sem capotraste
[Intro]
D/A G
[Verse 1]
D/A G
You held me upside-down
D/A G
Till I couldn't breathe anymore
A G A
Then you held me like a baby
D/A G
Television, like wine
D/A G
And cigarettes like grains of sand
A G A
And raspberry schnapps like a thousand sunsets
[Chorus]
A/E B/F#
The boys talk like they own the world
A/E B/F#
The women keep their stupid diaries
E/G# F#/A#
But suddenly there's a tidal wave
E/G# F#/A#
And everything is sucked out to sea
[Verse 2]
D/A G
There were probably birds
D/A G
Outside our little room
A G A
I don't remember anything but you
D/A G
We must have been the butt
D/A G
Of all the jokes in the world
A G A
For trying to live like Pippi Longstocking
[Chorus]
A/E B/F#
The boys talk like they own the world
A/E B/F#
The women keep their stupid diaries
E/G# F#/A#
But suddenly there's a tidal wave
E/G# F#/A#
And everything is sucked out to sea
[Chorus]
A/E B/F#
The boys talk like they own the world
A/E B/F#
The women keep their stupid diaries
E/G# F#/A#
But suddenly there's a tidal wave
E/G# F#/A#
And everything is sucked out to sea
