<< Back to Will Wood and the Tapeworms Song List
Version 1
[Intro]
F Dm Bb C
[Verse 1]
F Dm
Pink lemonade on autumn bomber coats
Bb C
Peter Pan collars but my daughter’s growing up
F Dm
She’s gonna be a lot like me,
Bb C
but I don’t wanna be at all like me
F Dm
Yellow buzz-cuts, pulling out stingers,
Bb C
you’re telling me I’m holding up eleven fingers and
F Dm
stranger things than death can happen
Bb C
to lab rat girls and pretty white rabbits
[Pre-chorus]
Bb C
But everybody knows that. Nobody knows that
F Am Dm
everybody’s in on everybody’s business
Bb C
This isn’t my first Christmas, I know mistletoe when I see it
[Chorus]
F
Baby, could you play along with me?
Dm
Baby, would that be alright with you?
Bb
And when we find out what’s wrong with me
C
could you tell me how I’m right for you?
F
Baby, could you play along with me?
Dm
Baby, would that be alright with you?
Bb
And when we find out what’s wrong with me
C F
could you tell me how could you tell me how and if I’m still pretty?
F Dm Bb C x2
[Verse 2]
F Dm
Cigarette burns, laugh lines, wide dimples
Bb C
If they could see the future back when times were simple
F Dm
would they kiss your cheek or yank the bandage off?
Bb C
Let you speak or take advantage of how
F Dm
If everyone’s sick, well then nobody can catch it,
Bb C
and if everybody’s different how could anybody match?
F Dm
And we’re looking through the pockets of the hand-me-downs we’ve laid out
Bb C
Wondering if we’ll fit into the yesterdays we’ve played out
[Pre-chorus]
Bb C
Everybody knows that. Nobody knows that
F Am Dm
everybody’s all up in my goddamn business
Bb C
This isn’t my first kiss, it’s better to be lost than loved, now, isn’t it?
[Chorus]
F
Baby, could you play along with me?
Dm
Baby, would that be alright with you?
Bb
And when we find out what’s wrong with me
C
could you tell me how I’m right for you?
F
Baby, could you play along with me?
Dm
Baby, would that be alright with you?
Bb
And when we find out what’s wrong with me
C F
could you tell me how could you tell me how and if I’m still pretty?
F Dm Bb C x2
[Bridge]
F Dm Bb C
Walking bikes home with a scraped-knee sunset smudged across your brow
F Dm Bb C
Warmer tears than you’ve grown used to since then
F A7 Dm Bb
A toast to the nosebleed seats and the big dream sequence where you’re found
Bb C
Guilty of your innocence and gently sent right back to bed
Bb C
Everybody knows that. Nobody knows that
F Am Dm
everybody’s all up in my motherfucking business
Bb C
This isn’t my first anything. This isn’t my first anything
Bb A7 Dm G7
Everybody knows that. Nobody knows that everybody’s in on everybody’s business
Bb C
This isn’t my first lyric, I know exactly how I should finish it
[Chorus]
F
Baby, could you play along with me?
Dm
Baby, would that be alright with you?
Bb
And when we find out what’s wrong with me
C
could you tell me how I’m right for you?
F
Baby, could you play along with me?
Dm
Baby, would that be alright with you?
Bb
After all that's been done to me
C
could you tell me how could you tell me how could you tell me
F
What’s so wrong about what’s wrong with me?
Dm
I’m just trying to do what’s right by you
Bb
What’s so wrong about what’s wrong with me?
C
I’m just trying to do what’s right by you
[Outro]
F Dm
Baby, could you play along with me? Baby, would that be alright with you?
Bb
After all that's been done to me
C
could you tell me how could you tell me how, could you tell me how?
