E                     Am
Maybe we could go to Coney Island
E                     Am
Maybe I could sing the national anthem
E                     Am
I a white sweater for the last white day Of the summer
E
Buy my purple wig
Am
For my mermaid video
E
Walk back to where we live
Am
In a motel never knew


[Chorus]

D#m                F#                C#m
You call me lavender you call me sunshine
D#m      B      D#m      B
You say take it off take it off
D#m              F#                 C#m
You call me lavender you call me sunshine
D#m      B      D#m      B
You say take it off take it off


[Verse 2]

E                 Am
Maybe we could go Suede Tokyo
E                 Am
or see Van Halen at their reunion show
E                  Am
Heavy metal hour on T V
E                  Am
Diamond Dave and Ray late

And you salute me Miss America
Because I am I am

[Verse 3]

E                    Am
Maybe we could go to Coney Island
E                    Am
Maybe I could sing you to sleep
E                    Am
God bless the universe god bless the ocean
E                    Am
God bless you and god bless me
D#m               A#
God bless you and god bless me
