Em G C G
C G D D
[Verse 1]
Em G C G
We’re in a tin box and I’ve got a toothpick
C G D D
and I have been poking the air.
Em G C G
Somebody gave you a knife for your birthday,
C G D D
I think I know who but that’s not my affair.
[Verse 2]
Em G C G
So I dance down the street like I’m miss Angelina,
C G D D
my legs are so grounded and strong.
Em G C G
And I’m not afraid that if I am the skipper,
C G D D
I’ll steer my flesh into the bog.
[Chorus]
C G C Em Em Em Em
But is there something in the movies that’s better than my love?
C G D G
Is there something in the movies that’s better than my love?
[Verse 3]
Em G C G
Carried around a stuffed pig in my arms
C G D D
and I did it until I was five.
Em G C G
I got it from someone who died of attention
C G D D
and lived an extraordinary life.
[Verse 4]
Em G C G
But I gave it to you on the day that we met
C G D D
cause already I trusted you best.
Em G C G
Everyone dies but they shouldn’t die young,
C G D D
anyway you’re invited to set.
[Chorus]
C G C Em Em Em Em
Is there something in the movies that’s better than my love?
C G D G
is there something in the movies that’s better than my love?
[Verse 5]
Em G C G
I left you in life cause you don’t need my pen
C G D D
to embellish your noteworthy parts
Em G C G
and I only write songs about things that I’m scared of,
C G D D
so here, now you’re deathless in art.
[Outro]
(G)
You’ve got this and the movies and also my love,
(G)
you can have it all, baby, I’m giving it up.
