very easy and straight – forward for most beginners . song is in 3/4 time so strum/pick accordingly!
these chords aren’t in the same key as the song , but you can fiddle with moving
them half or whole tones up/Down to get it right , or to get it so you can sing
comfortably with it : )
enjoy!

D Bm
thinking outrageously i write in cursive
G Em
i hide in my bed with the lights on the floor
D Bm
wearing three layers of coats and leg warmers
G Em
i see my own breath on the face of the door

D Bm
oh i Am not quite sleeping
G Em
oh i Am fast in bed
D Bm
there on the wall in the bedroom creeping
G Em
i see a wasp with her wings outstretched

D Bm
north of savanna we swim in the palisades
G Em
i come out wearing my brother’s red hat
D Bm
there on his shoulder my best friend is bit seven times
G Em
he runs washing his face in his hands

D Bm
oh how i meant to tease him
G Em
oh how i meant no harm
D Bm
touching his back with my hand i kiss him
G Em
i see the wasp on the length of my arm

the state of my heart , he was my best friend
Bm G
into the car , from the back seat
Em D
oh admiration in falling asleep
Bm G
all of my powers , day after day
Em D
i can tell you , we swaggered and swayed
Bm G
deep in the tower , the prairies below
Em D
i can tell you , the telling gets old
Bm G
terrible sting and terrible storm
Em D
i can tell you the day we were born

my friend is gone , he ran away
