[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Am][F][G][Am][F][Am][F][Am]

[Verse 1]
[F]Real bone porcelain cups [G]and saucers
[Am]In flight fo[F]rmations
[Dm]Gold[G] rim[F]med sugar bowls
Deep [G]like swim[Am]ming [Dm]pools

[Verse 2]
Spoons [Dm]dive [G]in [F]and you
can [Am]crash the [F]party
When the [G]punch bowls [C]enter
[F]s c[Am]rash your party
When the [Bm]candle fades,
[Am]walk that mezzanine
[G]You're caught in [Am]between [F]no [G]charades[C]
[G][Gm][Dm][Gm][G][Am][F][Gm][Dm][F]

[Verse 3]
[Gm][F]
Now [Gm]this pan cooks a [F]little
[Gm]slow some[Dm]times
[F]And thi[Gm]s cake tur[F]ns a lit[Dm]tle col[G]d[Dm]
[Gm]Worn out way be[F]fore the
[Gm]cars ar[Dm]rive[F]
[Gm]Your face [Dm]sings [F]from [Gm]from
[F]friend to foe

[Interlude 1]
[Bb][F][Am]

[Verse 4]
No [Am]charades, no ticker tape
Baked so many cakes
Your little fingers swell
I was waiting by the oven all day

[Verse 5]
And if the [Am]batter drip drops form a layer
Of film swept every last [Dm]crumb [Am]away
And start it over this [Gm]time[F]
[G][Gm][F][Gm][F]

[Verse 6]
[Gm][F]
Now [Gm]this pan cooks a [F]little
[Gm]slow [F]sometimes
And [Gm]this cake [F]turns a little [Gm]cold[Dm]
[Gm]Worn out way be[F]fore the
[Gm]cars ar[Dm]rive[F]
[Gm]Your face [F]sings [Gm]from
from [Dm]friend [Bb]to f[F]oe

[Verse 7]
And [Gm]everybody's caught up [F]in
[G]the grandeur[Gm][F]
[Gm]Everyone is [F]caught up in the [G]gold[Gm][F]
[Gm]Walk that [F]mezzanine
[Gm]You're still [F]in between [Gm]deer tracks
[F]Skin crack, [Gm]your face [F]looks so [Am]old[F][C]
[Am][F]

[Interlude 2]
