Intro
A F#m D E A F#m D E
WE WE WE WE WE WE WE WE
VERSE:
A F#m
We met in fancy dress,
D E
That's how it was to be
A F#m
But I never was prepared to cope
D E
With all your idiosyncracies
A F#m
And in the cold light of the day,
D E
Things don't always look the same
A F#m
I wondered were you really ill
D E
Or did you always look that way
CHORUS:
F#m E
It was here in the outer limits
D C#
It was oh, such a long, long time ago
F#m E
I was so happy, happy in the outer limits
D C#
I just never wanted to go!
VERSE:
A F#m
What she collected in glass jars,
D E
that was all of her and not mine
A F#m
Because she spent all of her evenings,
D E
and the rest of us were tight
A F#m
Her strange habits, her strange hobbies
D E
made strange noises in the night
A F#m
Ooh, I guess I knew, all along,
D E
something wasn't right
CHORUS:
F#m E
It was here in the outer limits
D C#
It was oh, such a long, long time ago
F#m E
I was so happy, happy in the outer limits
D C# F#m E D C#
I just never wanted to go, oh!
NOTE: ONE GUITBR IS PLAYING A SOLO SOMETHING LIKE THIS:

BRIDGE:
Bm
I asked her to change her ways
E
She wouldn't even try
D
I used to always tell her
F#m
Look, I'm just an ordinary guy
Bm
But then they caught her,
They questioned me,
E
I had to testify
D
But I used to always tell
C#
I'm just a regular guy,
F#m E D C# F#m
No, Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
OUTRO:
E
Please, don't take me away!
D
No! I didn't know what she was!
C#m
I didn't know who she was!
F#m
I only loved her....
NOTE: This is Probably NOT in the exact same tuning
that they play the song in. Their guitars
are probably tuned a little different
then standard tuning. This works for me
