We | [Am] move like caged | tigers
We | [F] couldn't get closer than | this
The | [Am] way we walk, the | way we talk  
The | [F] way we stalk, the | way we kiss  

We | [Am] slip through the streets while | everyone sleeps
Getting | [F] bigger and sleeker and | wider and brighter
We | [Am] bite and scratch and | scream all night
Let's | [F] go and throw all the | songs we know |

| [F] pretty... | ...
Oh you | [Am] know that I'd do | anything for   |
| [F] you...   | ...

We should | [Am] have each other to | tea huh?
We should | [F] have each other with | cream
Then | [Am] curl up by the fire and | sleep for awhile
It's the | [F] grooviest thing, it's the | perfect dream

Bridge
| [Em] Hand in hand is the | only way to land
And | [F] always the right way | round
Not | [Em] broken in pieces like | hated little meeces |
