F#m A/G# A
Put your sweet fingers
F#m A/G# A
F# little closer to the keyboard
F#m A/G# A
It's hard to read between your lines
D A
We were the clock hands at eindigt
F#m A/G# A
Now you're four whole hours behind
F#m A/G# A
Put your sweet fingers a little closer to the keyboard
F#m A/G# A
I can't quite see the whites of your eyes
D A
Though you bat your eyelids from across the ocean
F#m A/G# A
And I fall over in their breeze
D A E
I don't bring you spices from the East
D A E
I don't bring you the world's you crave
F#m A/G# A

A D E D
Just like Mr Benn, just like Mr Benn
F#m A/G# A
Put your sweet fingers a little closer to the keyboard
F#m A/G# A
We pass light bits in the night
D A
Though you send your flare to the horizon
F#m A/G# A

Just like in Mr Benn
E D
Just like in Mr Benn

So go if you're going
D
You keep pouring when I say when
F#m E
Come home when your
D
Work there is done
E D
Just like Mr Benn
F#m
Put your sweet fingers
A/G# A
F# little closer to the keyboard
F#m A/G# A
It's hard to read between your lines
D A
We were the clock hands at eindigt
