Am G Am G
[Intro]
G C Am D11
G Em Am B7
[Verse]
G C
Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone
Am D11 G
It's left this house empty now, not sure if I belong
Em Am
Yesterday you asked me to write you a pleasant song
B7
I'll do my best now, but you've been gone for so long
G C
The window's open now and the winter settles in
Am D11 G
We'll call it Christmas when the adverts begin
Em Am
I love your depression and I love your double chin
B7
I love 'most everything that you bring to this offering
[Chorus]
Am G Am G
Oh I know that I left you in places of despair
Am G Am G
Oh I know that I love you, so please throw down your hair
Am G Am G
At night I trip without you, and hope I don't wake up
Am G Am G
'Cause waking up without you is like drinking from an empty cup
[Chorus]
G C
Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone
Am D11 G
Our clocks are ticking now so before our time is gone
Em Am
We could get a house and some boxes on the lawn
B7
We could make babies and accidental songs
G C
I know I've been a liar and I know I've been a fool
Am D11 G
I hope we didn't break yet, but I'm glad we broke the rules
Em Am
My cave is deep now, yet your light is shining through
B7
I cover my eyes, still all I see is you
[Repeat Chorus]

Track 3: Elephant (Originally titled Blowers Daughter Part 2.)
This is the chords for the song.
[Verse]
E G#m
This has got to die, this has got to stop
F#m Am
This has got to lie down, with someone else on top
E G#m
You can keep me pinned, its easier to tease
F#m Am
But you can't paint an elephant quite as good as she
[Chorus]
E G# F#m Am
And she may cry like a baby. And she may drive me crazy
E A F#m B
Cause I am lately
Lonely
[Verse]
E G#m
So whyd you have to lie? I take it I'm your crotch
F#m Am
The pillow in your pillow case is easier to touch
E G#m
And then you think you've sinned, as you fall upon your knees
F#m Am
Living in your picture, still forget the breeze
[Chorus]
E G#
And she may rise if I sing you down
F#m Am
And she may wisely cling to the ground
E A F#m B
Cause I am lately horny
E A F#m B
So why would she take me horny?
[Middle 8]
F#m Am
What's the point of this song? Or even singing?
F#m B
You've already gone, why am I clinging?
F#m B
Well I could throw it out, and I could live without
And I could do it all for you I could be strong
C#m (Staccato here) B
Tell me if you want me to lie
[Verse]
E G#m
'Cause this has got to die, this has got to stop
F#m Am
This has got to lie down, down with someone else on top
E G#m
You can both keep me pinned, cause it's easier to tease
F#m Am
But you can't make me happy quite as good as me
Well you know thats a lie

Lyrics
VERSE
She lives with an orange tree
And the girl that does yoga
She picks the dead ones from the ground
When we come over
And she gives
I get
Without giving
Anything to me
BRIDGE
Like a morning sun
Like a morning
Like a morning sun
Like a good good morning sun
CHORUS
Girl that does yoga
When we come over
Girl that does yoga
VERSE
Well he lives in a little house
On the side of a little hill
Picks the litter from the ground
Litter little brother spills
He gives
I get
Without giving
Anything to me
BRIDGE
And the dogs they run
And the dogs they
And the dogs they run
In the good good morning sun
CHORUS
Side of a little hill
Litter little brother spills
Side of a little hill
MIDDLE 8 (Technically 2 middle 8s!)
And she's always dressed in white
She's like an angel
Man she burns our eyes
When she turns
She pulls a smile
We drive her 'round
And she drives us wild
And she moves like a little girl
I become a child
Man she moved my world
And she gets splashed in paint
And turns away
And leaves me standing

VERSE
She lives with an orange tree
And a girl that does yoga
Got a wolf to keep her warm
When he comes over
And she gives
He gets
Without giving
Anything to see
BRIDGE
And the day it ends
And the day it
And the day it ends
And there's no need for me
CHORUS
With a girl that does yoga
When we come over
With a girl that does yoga

Track 9: Accidental Babies
Intro:
Dm G C Am G
Verse1:
F
Well I held you like a lover
G C Csus Am G
Happy hands, your elbow in the appropriate place
F G
And we ignored our others' happy plans
C Csus Am G
For that delicate look upon your face
F
Our bodies moved and hardened
G C Csus
Hurting parts of your garden, With no room for a pardon
Am C F G
In a place where no one knows what we have done
Chorus:
Dm G C Csus Am G
Do you come together ever with him?
Dm G C Csus Am G
And is he dark enough, enough to see your light?
Dm G
And do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
C Csus Am G
Do you miss my smell?
Dm G C Csus Am G
and is he bold enough to take you on, do you feel like you belong?
Dm G C Csus Am G
and does he drive you wild, or just mildly free?
F G
What about me?
Verse2:
F
Well you held me like a lover
G C Csus Am G
Sweaty hands, and my foot in the appropriate place
F G
We use cushions to cover happy glands
C Csus Am G
In the mild issue of our disgrace
F G
Our minds pressed and guarded While our flesh disregarded
C Csus Am F G
The lack of space for the light-hearted, in the boom that beats our drum
F
Well I know I make you cry,
G
and I know sometimes you wanna die

This would not have happened if I hadn't missed my plane
F C G

F G C(riff1)
I wouldn't want you to want to be wanted by me
Dm G
I wouldn't want you to worry you'd be drowned within my sea
C G Am E
I only wanted to be wonderful and wonderful is true
F (C) G C
In truth I only really wanted to be wanted by you
C G Am E
The stupid situation now where everything goes wrong
F C G
If you can't tell if I am lying then you do not belong
C G Am E

Until you asked me to be part of it and now you're showing me your wall
F G C(riff1)
I wouldn't want you to want to be wanted by me
Dm G
I wouldn't want you to worry you'd be drowned within my sea
