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