Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
"Time to put the ear covers on!"
"No!"
[C][C][C][C]
La-la-la-[C]la[C][C][C]
La-la-la-[C]la[C][C][C]
La-la-la-[C]la [C](Bo[C]rn to)
[C]Born to multiply

[Verse 1]
[Am]
Born to gaze in[Dm]to night skies
All you [F]want's one [Em]more Satur[Dm]day[C]
Well, look here until [Am]then
They gonna buy [Dm]your life's time
So keep your [F]wick in the air
and your [Em]feet in the [Dm]fetters

[Pre-chorus 1]
[G](Till the day)
We come in doing [C]cartwheels
We all crawl out by our[G]selves
And your shape on a [C]dance floor
Will have me thinking such [G]filth
to gouge my eyes

[Chorus 1]
You'll be [Am]damned to be [F]one of us [Am]girl
Faced with the [F]dodo's conundrum
[C]I f[Dm]elt like I could just fly[F]
But [Em]nothing happened every time [G]I try,

[Verse 2]
ooh-ooh!
[C]A duotone on the wal[Am]l
Selfless fool who hoped [Dm]he'd save us all
Never [F]dreamt of [Em]such sterile [Dm]hands
[C]You keep 'em folded in your lap[Am]
Or raise them up [Dm]to beg for scraps
You know he's [F]holding you down
with the [Em]tips of his [Dm]fingers

[Pre-chorus 2]
[G](Just the same)
Will you be pulled from the [C]ocean
A-just a minute too [G]late?
Or changed by a [C]potion
To find a handsome young [G]mate
for you to love?

[Chorus 2]
You'll be [Am]damned to pining
through the [F]windowpanes
You [Am]know you'd trade your life
for any [F]ordinary [C]Joe
[Dm]Well, do it now or grow old[F]
Your nightmares [Em]only need a year or two
to [G]unfold

[Solo 1]
[C][C][Am][Am]
[Dm][Dm][F][Em][Dm]
[C][C][Am][Am]
[Dm][Dm][F][Em][Dm]

[Bridge 1]
[G]Been alone since you were twenty-one
[C]You haven't laughed since January
[G]You try and make like this is so much fun
[C]But we know it to be quite contrary
[G]La-la-la-la

[Chorus 3]
[Am]Dare to be [F]one of us [Am]girl
Faced with the [F]dodo's conundrum
[C]I f[Dm]elt like I could just cry[F]
But [Em]nothing happened every time
I [F]take one on the chin
You [Em]Himmler in your coat,
you don't know [F]how long I've been
[Em]Watching the lantern [F]dim
[Em]Starved of [F]oxygen
So [Dm]give me your hand
and let's [F]jump out the [G]window

[Outro 1]
[C][C][C][C]
[C]La-[C]la-[C]la- la-la[C]
[C]La-[C]la-[C]la- la-la[C]
[C]La-[C]la-[C]la- la-la[C]
[C]La-[C]la-[C]la- la-la[C][C]
