Capo 2nd fret
--------------------------------------------
F
There’s something wrong with my hands
C
Oh yes, they’re not holding you
F
They should be enfolding you like a mother’s pouch
E G
Around a baby kangaroo
E
That sparkle in your eye
Am
Shines like a shiny diamond
G C
In a shiny diamond ring
Dm
And like a crow, don’t you know,
F G C
I’m helpless around shiny things
C
When I got to this dance bar,
G
At first I didn’t feel like waiting
C
The lineup was so long But then I saw you and I thought “I must be hallucinating!”
F
But I was sober as a nun,
C
And like a nun I prayed
G
That we would dance one dance together
C
And fall in love forever and our love would never fade
C
You’re quite a talented dancer -
G
did you take a dancing class for that?
And I like the way your pants are the same colours
C
As the colours of the band around your hat
F
I must sound like a schoolboy
C
I haven’t got a thing to say
G
But wait, this song they’re playing is great
C
And it says exactly what I’ve been trying to say
Am
When Lionel Richie wrote Hello
G
Was it you he was looking for?
F
Not the blind girl in the video
C
You know, the actor and the amateur sculptor
Am G
Speaking of sculpting, my heart is spinning like a pottery wheel
F
I feel like a ghost, I’m going crazy
E
Is this how I’m supposed to feel?
Like Demi and Swayze?
F C
There’s something wrong with my hands
F
They should be holding you -
E G
The way that hands were meant to do
E
That sparkle in your eye
Am
Shines like a shiny diamond
G C
In a shiny diamond ring
Dm
And like a crow, don’t you know,
F G C
I’m helpless around shiny things
Solo:
Aaaaahhh Aaaahhaahah
F C F E G E Am G C Dm F G C
C
Your face is kind of like a planet
G
That hasn’t been discovered
My heart’s a space-pod that travels to your face’s planet
C
And it will never be recovered
F
My heart will roam the surface of your face
C
Collecting data on your lips
G
But I’ll cut off all communication with space stations
C
And my mothership
C
‘Cause I don’t want Earth to know about you
G
No, they wouldn’t understand
Just you and me here in this galaxy
C
Like shipwrecked sailors on a tiny sandy island
F
Like shipwrecked sailors deep in love
C
Finally free to show their feelings
G
Seen only by the million blinking eyes of God in the dark sky
C
That is their island’s ceiling
F
And those million eyes are shining
C
And I can see each one in yours
G E
They say the eyes are little windows to the heart,
G
Well that’s a start but I still need to find the door
E
Still those sparkly eyes are shining
Am G C
Like a shiny diamond in a shiny diamond ring
Dm
And like a crow, don’t you know,
F G C
I’m helpless around shiny things
