    Am
We move like cagey tigers
        F
Oh, we couldn't get closer than this
    Am
The way we walk, the way we talk
     F
The way we stalk, the way we kiss
    Am
We slip through the streets while everyone sleeps
         F
Getting bigger and sleeker and whiter and brighter
   Am
We bite and scratch and scream all night
       F
Let's go and throw all the songs we know

Chorus:
C
Into the sea, you and me
          Dm
All these years and no one heard
       C
I'll show you in spring,
it's a treacherous thing
   Dm                     Am
We missed you, hissed the lovecats
    F                     Am      F
We missed you, hissed the lovecats

We're so wonderfully, wonderfully
Wonderfully, wonderfully pretty
Oh, you know that I'd do anything for you
We should have each other to tea, huh?
We should have each other with cream?

Then curl up in the fire
And sleep for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream

Chorus:
Into the sea, you and me
All the years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring,
it's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats

We're so wonderfully, wonderfully
Wonderfully, wonderfully pretty
Oh, you know that I'd do anything for you
We should have each other to dinner, huh?
We should have each other with cream?

Then curl up in the fire
Get up for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream

Em
Hand in hand is the only way to land
    F
And always the right way round
     Em
Not broken in pieces like hated little meeces
 F
How could we miss someone as dumb as...
  Am
This? (how can we miss someone as dumb as)
    F
We missed you, hissed the
 Am     F
Lovecats

I love you, let's go
Oh, solid gold
How could we miss
Someone as dumb as this?
