D           Bm
Here I go again
              D             Bm
I must have flowers in my brain
            D             Bm
The same mistake I made before
           A               G
But I'm a hostage to that face of yours

 B         A    B
Lay me on your bed
         A    B           B
I watch you smoke my cigarette
        A    B             A  B
I wish you knew what's in my head
        A   B             A   B
I could be more than just a friend

Chorus:
 G                 E             B  F#
Too bad you're so beautiful and so complicated
G             E               B    F#
I may be a deluded fool but still fascinated
 G                 E             B    F#
Too bad you're so beautiful when I'm king of nothing
  G            E
This can only go one way

Ice queen on top of the mountain
Give me the freeze, minus twenty and counting
My lunar dreams, how do I stop them?
But it's not your problem, when you're above it all

Lay me on your bed
I want to stroke your sleepy head
I wish that I was you instead
Of being just your weekday friend

Chorus

Bm          A   E
King of nowhere speaks another line
Bm               A  E
In the low light I'm here to entertain
Bm                 A
When it starts to rain
E
I'm a lucky man...

Chorus:
Ahhhhhh
Too bad you're so it's too bad you're soooo.
Oh-oh-oh-ohhhh
Beautiful, umm-uh-umm
Beautiful, it's too bad
Just too bad, it's too bad
Beautiful, ohh-ohh
It's too bad
Just too bad, it's too bad
