Tom: Em
Am D G C
Where was I? I forgot the point that I was making
Am B Em Em D
I said if I was smart that I would save up for a piece of string
C G D G
And a rock to wind the string around
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C G D G
Everybody wants a rock to
C G D G
Wind a piece of string around
C G D G
Everybody wants a rock to
C G D G
Wind a piece of string around
[Chorus 1]
A B C D
Throw the crib door wide
G D C
Let the people crawl inside
A B C D
Someone in this town
G D C
Is trying to burn their playhouse down
G D G
They want to stop the ones who want
C G D G
A rock to wind a string around
C G D G
But everybody wants a rock to
C G D G
Wind a piece of string around
A B C D
Throw the crib door wide
G D C
Let the people crawl inside
A B C D
Someone in this town
G D C
Is trying to burn their playhouse down
G D G
They want to stop the ones who want
C G D G
A rock to wind a string around
C G D G
But everybody wants a rock to
C G D G
Wind a piece of string around
[Verse 2]
Am D G C
If I were a carpenter, I'd hammer on my piglet
Am B Em Em D
I'd collect the seven dollars and I'd buy a big prosthetic forehead
C G D G
and wear it on my real head
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C G D G
Everybody wants prosthetic
C G D G
Foreheads on their real heads
C G D G
Everybody wants prosthetic
C G D G
Foreheads on their real heads
[Chorus 2]
A B C D
Throw the crib door wide
G D C
Let the people crawl inside
A B C D
Someone in this town
G D C
Is trying to burn their playhouse down

They want to stop the ones who want
C G D G
Prosthetic foreheads on their heads
C G D G
But everybody wants prosthetic
C G D G
Foreheads on their real heads
