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

BRIDGE:
F#m
I asked her to change her ways
B
She wouldn't even try
A
I used to always tell her
C#m
Look, I'm just an ordinary guy
F#m
But then they caught her,
They questioned me,
B
I had to testify
A
But I used to always tell
G#
I'm just a regular guy,
C#m B A G# C#m
No, Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
OUTRO:
B
Please, don't take me away!
A
No! I didn't know what she was!
G#m
I didn't know who she was!
C#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
