B E Be still for a second while I try B and try to pin your flowers on E Nana na na B Can you carry my drink I have everything else E I can tie my tie all by myself B E I’m getting tied, I’m forgetting why B E Oh we’re so disarming darling, everything we did believe B E is diving diving diving diving off the balcony Chorus: B E Tired and wired we ruin too easy B E sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave Hold ourselves together with our arms around the stereo for hours La, la, la, la, la, la While it sings to itself, or whatever it does When it sings to itself of its long lost loves I'm getting tired, I'm forgetting why Chorus: Tired and wired, we ruin too easy Sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave But I'll be with you behind the couch when they come On a different day just like this one B We’ll stay inside til somebody finds us E do whatever the TV tells us B E stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz for days B We’ll stay inside til somebody finds us E do whatever the TV tells us B E stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz B so worry not E all things are well B we’ll be alright E we have our looks and perfume Stay inside 'til somebody finds us Do whatever the TV tells us Stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz So worry not All things are well We'll be alright We have our looks and perfume on You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsE  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
