[Verse 1]
E B
Saw Jim Reid in the corridor and I wondered if he could ever see me that way
E B
He was on my list at the grocery store when you grabbed my wrist and said you liked my keychain
E B
Read your feature in the weekly paper and honestly I found it a little bit bloated
E A B
Friday we fell through the coffee table and that’s when I discovered that my heart exploded
[Pre-chorus]
A B
How
A B
How
[Chorus 1]
E A B
You’re a lollipop, in the form of a lightning bolt
E A B
You’re a lollipop in my hair
E A B
But I’m a gumdrop, am I ever gonna fit that mould?
E A B
Because I don’t have the patience to wait in line for you, ooh
[Verse 2]
E B
When I came back to apologize you asked me if I was intrigued by LSD
E B
I sat next to you on the picnic bench and before I knew it you were flying next to me
E B
I met your baby at the exposition and frankly I found it a little unnerving
E [N.C.]
I let you know when we were driving home and all I can remember is the fact that we're swerving
[Chorus 2]
E A B
Lollipop, in the form of a lightning bolt
E A B
You’re a lollipop in my hair (how could I ever obtain you?)
E A B
But you’re a doorstop, when you’re lying on the bathroom floor
E A B
And I don’t have the time to wait in line for you (how could I ever betray you?)
[Bridge]
A E A B
Alter my state to get through this date (and it swallows me whole)
A E
Alter my state to get through this date (You're alone in this picture)
A B
Alter my state to get through this date
A E A B E
(you're alone in this picture) Alter my state to get through this date
A E A A# B
(You're alone in this picture) Alter my state to get through this date
[Chorus 3]
E A B
You're a lollipop, in the form of a lightning bolt (how could I ever betray you?)
E A B
You’re a lollipop in my hair (how could I ever obtain you?)
E A B
You look like Iggy Pop, circa ’73 or ‘4
E A B
And I don’t have the time to wait in line for you (how could I ever betray you?)
