purple people

Am B/Am C/Am ( fill 1 )

well , hey do you do judo when they surround you
a little mental yoga will they disappear?
it’s grim but never dubious as motives go
no matter what it takes she promises a show

Dm G B/G7 C
thunder wishes it could be the snow
G#/E Am ( fill 1 ) F G#/E
wishes it could be as loved as she can be
Am ( fill 1 ) F F E E7
these gifts are here , for her , for you , for me . .

Am B/Am C/Am ( fill 1 )
E
i watch me be this other thing i never know
if i’m marooned or where the purple people go
the lily white matricide from vicious words
it doesn’t leave a scratch so therefore , no one’s hurt

Dm G B/G7 C
thunder wishes it could be the snow
G#/E Am ( fill 1 ) F G#/E
wishes it could be as loved as she can be
Am ( fill 1 ) F F E E7
these gifts are here , for her , for you , for me . .

G B/G7 C Am
and on and on , the nurses make it clear
F E Am ( fill 1 )
just when you escape , you have yourself to fear
G B/G7 C Am
a restaurant that never has to close
F E F E E7
breakfast at every hour , it could save the world . . .

Am ( fill 1 ) F E
so hey do you do judo in your finery
an angel’s face is tricky to wear constantly

Dm G B/G7 C
thunder wishes it could be the snow
G#/E Am ( fill 1 ) F G#/E
wishes it could be as loved as she can be
Am ( fill 1 ) F F E E7
these gifts are here , for her , for you , for me . .
F G#/E Am F E
