Am           D            G                C
Where was I? I forgot the point that I was making 
  Am            B                  Em            Em D 
I said if I was smart that I would save up for a piece of string
      C       G        D       G
And a rock to wind the string around

[Pre-Chorus 1]
C    G    D       G 
Everybody wants a rock to 
C      G        D      G
Wind a piece of string around
C    G    D       G
Everybody wants a rock to 
C      G        D      G
Wind a piece of string around

[Chorus 1]
A         B         C D 
Throw the crib door wide
G       D      C      
Let the people crawl inside 
A       B       C  D
Someone in this town
G            D          C      
Is trying to burn their playhouse down
             G        D        G
They want to stop the ones who want
C         G      D       G
A rock to wind a string around
C        G    D       G
But everybody wants a rock to
C      G        D       G
Wind a piece of string around
A        B     C      D
Throw the crib door wide
G        D      C      
Let the people crawl inside 
A       B       C  D
Someone in this town
G            D          C      
Is trying to burn their playhouse down
             G        D        G
They want to stop the ones who want
C         G      D       G
A rock to wind a string around
C        G    D       G
But everybody wants a rock to
C      G        D       G
Wind a piece of string around

[Verse 2]
Am          D              G            C
If I were a carpenter, I'd hammer on my piglet
    Am                B               Em            Em D 
I'd collect the seven dollars and I'd buy a big prosthetic forehead
    C       G     D    G 
and wear it on my real head

[Pre-Chorus 2]
C    G    D     G 
Everybody wants prosthetic
C         G        D    G 
Foreheads on their real heads
C    G    D     G 
Everybody wants prosthetic
C         G        D    G  
Foreheads on their real heads

[Chorus 2]
A         B         C D 
Throw the crib door wide
G       D      C
Let the people crawl inside
A          B    C D 
Someone in this town
G            D          C
Is trying to burn their playhouse down
             G        D        G
They want to stop the ones who want
C          G            D     G
Prosthetic foreheads on their heads
C        G    D     G
But everybody wants prosthetic
C         G        D    G
Foreheads on their real heads

[Bridge]
Em   Em D  C  G  D  G
Em   Em D  C  G  D  E

[Chorus 3]
A         B         C D 
Throw the crib door wide
G       D      C
Let the people crawl inside
A          B    C D 
Someone in this town
G            D          C
Is trying to burn their foreheads down
             G        D        G
They want to stop the ones who want
C         G      D      G
A rock to wind a string around
C        G    D       G
But everybody wants a rock to
C      G        D      G
Wind a piece of string around
