[Verse]
E
"Why is the world so creepy?" she asked
E
Till a car full of haircuts drove past
E          
A backseat full of the boys

B
  I told her that it isn't
A         E                    B      
  That it, that it's exquisite
                                   A        E
But like love it has it's barbarous threats

[Verse]
E
Still in spite of the cads
E
And the stoop shouldered teens
E
I know I'm losing you
E
I know what that means

Bb
  I told her that it isn't
Abm
That it's real exquisite
B                                            Bb    E
But like love it can have it's stubbed toe effects

[Verse]
C#m                     G#m                      A
And just like after she heard the word iridescent
                      F#m                E
And everything was iridescent for a while
C#m       B                              A
It wasn't long before she exalted out of nowhere
                        E
"Isn't this exquisite?"

E
Once you've said "mmm" in unison
E
And "oh" in double surprise
E
And shared relief with a mutual "phew"
E                          B
And a look in each others' eyes

[Verse]
                   A
I tell her that is isn't
             E        B
Insisted that it isn't
                             A                E                
Because like love it has too cunning effects

B
  I told her that it isn't
A         E                    B      
  That it, that it's exquisite
                                   A        E
But like love it has it's barbarous threats


E
"Why is the world so creepy?" she asked
E
After a car full of haircuts drove past
E
A backseat full of the boys
E
Breaking glass, throwing off glass
