VERSE:
F# B
She broke down and cried at the strip mall acupuncturist
F#
While the world went on outside
F#
The Chinese doctor took her arm
B F#
Gazed at the floor, and read her wrist for the secrets in her mind
CHORUS:
G#m
"Here's your medicine," she said
B F#
"If you not smile at him, then someone else will"
G#m
You hold that thought
B F#
And I'll hold that thought too
C# B F#
Ooooooh - ooooh
C# B A G
Ooooooh - ooooh
VERSE:
F# B
I was shown the 36 ways I'm not available
F#
On a simple easy chart
F# B
Later on that evening on the beach in Santa Monica
F#
It was a very risky start
CHORUS:
G#m
Suppose this stupid chart is right
B F#
In a year will you still feel the same way?
G#m
Well, you hold that thought
B F#
And I'll hold that thought too
C# B F#
Ooooooh - ooooh
C# B A G
Ooooooh - ooooh

VERSE:
B
Did you ever see the film where a man who's given spectacles
F#
That make the world look upside down?
F# B
He falls about the place, but in time he somehow readjusts
G#m
And when they take the glasses off
B F#
The eyes he's always had see sky below him and he falls again
CHORUS:
G#m
Well, you hold that thought
B
And I'll hold that thought
G#m
You hold that thought
B
And I'll hold that thought
G#m
You hold that thought
B
And I'll hold that thought
