[D][G][A][D]
[A][D][G][A]

[Verse 1]
[D]Saw
Jim Reid in the corridor
And I wondered if he could
ever [A]see me that way
He was [D]on my list at the grocery store
When you grabbed my wrist and
said you [A]liked my keychain
Read [D]your feature in the weekly paper
And honestly,
I found it a little [A]bit bloated
[D]Friday, we fell through the coffee table
And [G]that's when I discovered
that my [A]heart exploded
[G]How? [A]How[G]?[A]

[Verse 2]
You're a lol[D]lipop
In the [G]form of a lightning bolt
You're [A]a l[D]ollipop in my hair[G][A]
But I'm a [D]gumdrop
Am [G]I ever gonna fit that m[A]ould?
'Cause [D]I don't have the patience
to wait in [G]line for you

[Verse 3]
When I [A]came [D]back to apologize
You asked me if I was in[A]trigued by LSD
[D]I sat next to you on the picnic bench
And before I knew it,
you [A]were flying next to me
I [D]met your baby at the exposition
And frankly, I found it a [A]little unnerving
I let [D]you know when we were driving home
And all I can re[A]member is the fact [G]that
[D]we're swerving

[Verse 4]
[D]You're a lollipop
In the [G]form of a lightning [A]bolt
You're a [D]lollipop in my hair
How could I ever [G]ob [A]tain you?
[D]But you're a doorstop
When you're [G]lying on the bathroom [A]floor
And [D]I don't have the time
to wait in line for you
[G]How could [A]I ever betray y[D]ou?
[G]Alter my state

[Verse 5]
[D]to [Bm]get thr[D]ough
this date
(You're alone in [G]this picture and
[A]it swallows me [D]whole)
Alter my [G]state to get through
this [Bm]date
(You're alone in this [D]picture and
it swallows [G]me whole)
Alter my [A]state to get through
this [G]date
[D](You're alone in this picture and
[G]it swallows me whole))
Alter my [D]state to get [G]through this date
(Y[D]ou're alone in this [G]picture)
Alter my [Abdim]state to get[A]
through this date
[D]You're a

[Verse 6]
[G]lollipop
In the form of a lightning bolt (How could
[A]I e[D]ver obtain you?)
[G]You're a [A]lollipop in my hair
(How could I ever [D]betray you?)
You look like Iggy Pop
[G]Circa '73 or '4 (How could
[A]I ever obtain you?)
Because I don't have [D]the time wait in line [G]for you
(How could [A]I ever b[G]etray y[F#m]ou?)[Em][F#m]

[Outro 1]
Wait for you
