 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Esus2  Em  Esus2  Em
 
[Verse]
Cadd9        Cmaj7
By the bumper cars
Cadd9  Cmaj7          Esus2  Em  Esus2  Em
In the pretty twining light
Cadd9      Cmaj7
I may have gone too far
Cadd9      Cmaj7               Esus2
I may have gone too much, too long
Em    G
I’m a dull and
         Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Esus2  Em  Esus2  Em
 witless boy
 
[Verse]
Cadd9        Cmaj7
At the after bars
Cadd9        Cmaj7        Esus2  Em  Esus2  Em
Think I was sullied by a dream
Cadd9          Cmaj7
In the killing jar

You and me at war, at arms
Em  G          Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Esus2  Em  Esus2  Em
All falling in embrace
 
[Chorus]
Em   D  G   Am  B7
Tell me why you lied
    Em             D               Cmaj7
And what it is you do to keep your eyes
    Em9  Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Esus2  Em  Esus2  Em
all shiny
 
[Verse]
Cadd9   Cmaj7
A tawny gypsy girl
Cadd9    Cmaj7        Esus2  Em  Esus2  Em
Sleeping blanketed by stars
Cadd9       Cmaj7
Beneath the tilt-a-whirl
Cadd9         Cmaj7        Esus2
Where we were coyly caught alone
Em  G                  Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Esus2  Em
All fumbling with your blouse
 
[Chorus]
Em   D  G   Am  B7
Tell me why you lied

And what it is you do to keep your eyes
      Em9  Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Esus2  Em  Esus2  Em
 all shiny
 
[Interlude]
D                        C
And in the rollercoaster din
D                    C
By the parachutes in saddle shoes
    Em
You break your shins
D                     C           Esus2  Em  Esus2  Em
But I have never seen two eyes so shiny
 
[Solo]
Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Esus2  Em  Esus2  Em x2
 
D                    C
And the sullen beery swine
D
Who try to tangle you
   C            Em
In sullen beery balls of twine
D                       C       Esus2 Em Esus2 Em
Have they ever seen two eyes so shiny?
 
[Verse]
Cadd9   Cmaj7
Boys in denim vests
Cadd9   Cmaj7        Esus2  Em  Esus2  Em
Smoking cigarettes between
Cadd9          Cmaj7
The bootblack fingertips
Cadd9   Cmaj7        Esus2   Em
Sweetly tipsy by the half light
    G                  Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Esus2  Em
The light and the half light
 
[Chorus]
Em   D  G   Am  B7
Tell me why you lied
    Em             D               Cmaj7
And what it is you do to keep your eyes
    Em9   Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Esus2  Em  Esus2  Em
all shiny                              all shiny

all shiny                  all shiny
 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Esus2  Em  Esus2  Em
all shiny                  all shiny
 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Esus2  Em  Esus2  Em
all shiny
