Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]I'm [D]a[Csus2][G]
[Am]lazy stu[D]dent
[Gsus4]In a circular library[G]
With [Am]a glass ceiling[D][Gsus4]
And a parquet [G]floor

[Verse 2]
[Am]After gradu[D]ation
[Gsus4]I'm gonna go to[G] the Amazon
In [Am]search of a pig[D]ment
[Gsus4]That I want on my wal[D]l[G]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Hold me
[D]Scold me
[Bm]Extol me
Console [Em]me
Through [Am]the 90's
And [C]the [D]80's
And the [Bm]Tigris
The Eu[Em]phrates

[Verse 4]
And [C]after all that I've [D]said
I want you to [G]know me
I want you [D]to throw [Em]me in the river
So [C]the clouds that follow my [D]head
Can finally [G]rain down
On all your [D]hy [Em]drangeas

[Verse 5]
I never had a [C]doubt that
you would come [D]through
I always [G]adored you
I [D]always [Em]ignored you
Just to make you try [C]harder
To do what you [D]do
I had to be aw[G]ful just to keep [D]you from
[Em]danger
[Am][D][Csus2]

[Verse 6]
[G]
Come [Am]stand at my [D]window
[Gsus4]With a view of suburb[G]ia
As [Am]it marks out the ed[D]ges
[Gsus4]Of my opulent ground[G]s

[Verse 7]
I'm [Am]rich but I'm [D]troubled
There's a worm in my [G]Bougainvillea
[Am]Why do you p[D]lague me
When my ethics are [G]sound?

[Verse 8]
[Am]Hold [C]me
[D]Scold me
Extol [Bm]me
[Em]Console me
Through [Am]the [C]90's
[D]And the 80's
Through the wa[Bm]ters
Of Is[Em]sey

[Verse 9]
And [C]after all that I've [D]said
I want you to [G]know me
I want you [D]to throw [Em]me in the river
So [C]the clouds that follow my [D]head
Can finally [G]rain down
On all your hy[Em]drangeas

[Verse 10]
I never had a [C]doubt that
you would come [D]through
I always ad[G]ored you
I always [D]ignored [Em]you
Just to make you try [C]harder
To do what you [D]do
I had to be aw[G]ful just to keep
[D]you from [Em]danger

[Verse 11]
And [Em]af t[Am]er all I've said
It's [Bm]academi[Em]a
How [Am]could I be so faithful
[D]To the Queen of Media?

[Verse 12]
Through [C]the 90's
[D]And the 80's
In the AD
[Bm]And [Em]the BC
Through [C]the Xanthus
And the [D]Yangtze
And the Ni[Bm]ger
And [Em]the Ganges

[Verse 13]
[C]Hold [Am]me
Fold [D]me
[Bm]Control me
Cajole [G]me[Em]
And [Am]release me
[C]On the Lethe
[D]And the ich[Bm]or
Through my [Em]body

[Verse 14]
And [C]after all that I've [D]said
I want you [G]to know me
I want you [D]to throw [Em]me in the river
So [C]the clouds that follow my [D]head
Can finally [G]rain down
On all your hy[Em]drangeas

[Verse 15]
I never had a [C]doubt that
you would come [D]through
I always [G]adored you
I [D]always [Em]ignored you
Just to make you try [C]harder
To do what you [D]do
I had to be aw[G]ful just [D]to keep you from
[Em]danger
