Plus Ones
I just added the complete lyrics to this one, and corrected one or two wrong chords
Capo at 7th Fret
Intro: D
DGEmG
No one wants to hear about your 97th tear,
EmG
so dry your eyes or let it go
AEmGAEm
uncried, mydear. I am all out of love to mouth into your ear, and not above
G A Em Em* G* A*
letting a love song disappear before it’s written.
DGEmG
And noone wants a tune about the 100th luftballoon that was seen
EmGAEmG
shooting from the window of your room, to be a spot against the sky’s
AEmGA
colossalgloom and land, deflated, in some neighbor state that’sstrewn with
EmEmGA
99 others.
EmADAEm
8 Chinese brothers; well, there’s a reason why the last is smiling wide
GA
and sitting higher than the others,
EmGA
swinging his arms.
DGEmG
You would probably die before you shotup 9 miles high
EmGA
Your eyesdilated as light played upon the sight
EmGA
Of TVC16 as it sings you goodnight
EmGA
Relaxed as helland locked up in cell 45
EmEmGA
I hope you’re feeling better
EmA
51st way to leaveyour lover
DAEmGA
Admittedly, it doesn’t seem to beas gentle or as clean as all the others
EmGA
Even a scars all in the after hours of some Greenpoint bar
DGEmG
I told you, I can’t listen, baby, ’bout the4th time you were alady
EmGA
and how your forthrightness betrayed a secret shyness
EmGA
Stripped away by days of being hailed as "your highness"
EmGA
And what’s new pussycat, as you were once a lionness
EmEmGA
They cut your claws out
DGEmG
Kitten, not everyone’s keen on lighting candle 17,
EmGA
the party’s done, the cake’sall gone, the plates are clean
EmGA
The chauffeur’s near andfrom the cheerlessmezzanine
EmGA
And in just one year, this straight world could pay to see
EmEmGA
what they have been missing
EmA
You were caught kissing 8 chinese brothers
DAEmGA
Well, there’s a reason why the last is smiling wide and sitting higher than the others
EmGA
Staking with charm
EmA
And he says, "Lets get lost, let them send out alarms
EmA
He says, "Let’s get crossed out and come to harm"
EmA
"Lets make the world’s stupidest stand and truly mean it
EmA
Lets hit the limit of loss over lover’s arms
Em
No, lets exceed it"
