Elijah Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Elijah has brains and long legs
and wears jeans at his hip
And nary a girl in the world has
been missed by his grip
He's long curly hair, that when wet,
goes as far as his chin
And his knowledge of poets and

[Verse 2]
punks is debatably thin
[G]
[F]The thing I like most [G]about [C]him is
what I see on [D]the sur[G] face
Like [D]two distant shores,
we are [C]bound by a love [D]that's an [G]isthmus[Em]

[Verse 3]
Oh [F]Elijah!

[Verse 4]
[G]Elijah,
he lay in psychosis one bright sunny day
And even in sleep I cannot
make myself walk away
So pretty was he,
I said something I couldn't retract
And so for three years,

[Verse 5]
he spent most of his time in the sack
[G]
[F]Although it's November,
I [C]know we won't make it [D]to christmas[G]
Like [D]two distant shores,
we [C]are bound by a love [G]that's an [Em]isthmus
[G]Oh Eli

[Verse 6]
[F]jah[D]![G]

[Verse 7]
[G]Elijah once told me
in private that he'd like a [D]break[G]
Although he revealed through his actions
that he was [Em]a fake[G]
And so, then in public I told him that
he's too [D]dependent[G]
And now to this day I [E]main
[G]tain that I am unrepentant

[Verse 8]
[F]All he can see through the [C]tun
nel is none of his [G]business
Like [D]two distant shores,
we are [C]bound by a love that's an [G]isthmus[Em]

[Verse 9]
[F]Oh[D][G][E]
[F]Eli[D][G][E]
[F]jah!
