The twiching impulse is to speak your mind
G D G Am7 G/B
I?ll lend you my microscope and maybe you will find it
C G D G D G
Is it in that ugly place that?s just behind your face
C G/B D G D G
Where you keep my picture still despite the fact that you had me replaced
Em D G Em D G
Say "Good-bye", baby, can?t you act your age
Em D G Em D C
You know why, I?m going to give it to you straight
Am Em D C
Altgough I?ll never be unhappy as you want me to be
Am G Em G Em
Still it?s all the rage
F C D/C G/B G7
I?ll propably play along, left to my own devices
C D/C G/B C G
Spare me the drone of your advice
Am Bm C D
The sins of garter and gin, confessions may delay
Am Bm C D
You know the measuring pole, the merry boots of clay?
Am Bm C D
I?ve heard it all before, you?ll say it anyway
G Em D G Em D G
Say "Good-bye", baby, can?t you act your age
Em D G Em D C
You know why, I?m going to give it to you straight
Am Em D C
Altgough I?ll never be unhappy as you want me to be
Am G Em G Em
Still it?s all the rage
G D G D C
Alone with your tweezers and your handkerchief
G D G Am7 G/B
You murder time and truth, love, laughter and belief
C G D G D G
So don?t try to touch my heart, it?s darker than you think
C G/B D G D G
And don?t try to read my mind because it?s full of disappearing ink
Em D G Em D G
Say "Good-bye", baby, can?t you act your age
Em D G Em D C
You know why, I?m going to give it to you straight
Am Em D C
Altgough I?ll never be unhappy as you want me to be
Am G Em G Em
Still it?s all the rage
Am Em D C
Altgough I?ll never be unhappy as you want me to be
Am G Em G Em
Still it?s all the rage
