Song: Lady Hourglass, Your Head's on Fire!
Artist: Said the Whale
Album: Howe Sounds/Taking Albonia
[Am]
[Am]Come lady hourglass,
[Dm]Take me by the hand
[F]I'll shower you with gifts,
[Em]If you'll just make the hard times pass
[Am]You're tall and blue and crystalline,
[Dm]I'll be yours if you'll be mine
[F]In this ancient battle against time,
[Em]We're bound to make a mark
[Am]We gotta get some weight on that tiny waist,
[Dm]Yeah, open up that little space
[F]With chocolate covered lollipops,
[Em]And all that stuff
[Am]We'll break the spirits of the sand,
[Dm]In every hourglass of the land
[F]Sand's rushing to your feet,
[Em]Just like your head's on fire
Your head's on[Dm] fire!
Your head's on[Am] fire!
Your head's on[Dm] fire!
Your head's on[Am] fire[C]!
(2 times)
[Am]
[Am]Now it's been seven years inside a month
[Dm]And I think I our plan, it worked too much
[F]Cause yesterday I woke up
[Em]And my life was gone
[Am]My hair is grey, my skin is tough
[Dm]I'm wrinkled and my voice is rough
[F]Tell me lady hourglass,
[Em]What went wrong?
[Dm]"Boy, you gave me lollipops
[F]And chocolate covered lemon drops
[C]My waist it grew, the sand it dropped
[G]And time flew by
[Dm]With every single grain of sand
[F]That passes through my crystal hands
[C]A child is born, a boy's a man
[G]This you have to understand
[Dm]So play the cards that you were dealt
[F]No matter if you're feeling well
[C]The best will come around to you
[G]The best will come, the best will come
[Dm] [F]
[C]The best will come around to you
[G]Even if your head's on fire"
Your head's on[Dm] fire!
Your head's on[Am] fire!
Your head's on[Dm] fire!
Your head's on[Am] fire[C]!
