Chords with lyrics

Intro: DmDm G+G x2

DmDm            G+G
Guard your body with the best barbed wire
  DmDm          G+G
And ward off foe with the fiercest of fire
  FF         C majorC            DmDm  G+G  DmDm  G+G
But let love unguarded into the strangest of nights
 DmDm              G+G
Wear your dresses like they're up for hire
  DmDm                 G+G
And leave them with your humor in the tumble dryer
  DmDm          C majorC           DmDm
And watch yourself stumble down a lane with no lights
DmDm          C majorC       DmDm
School like life turns some men into mice
DmDm           C majorC           DmDm
What you need now is a little piece of mouse advice

     FF         A minorAm
Well they say be wary of strangers
  FF             G+G
Especially if they offer you sweets
      FF          A minorAm
But there ain't no government health warning
  FF            G+G
On half the mad fuckers you meet

FF            A minorAm
Save yourself personal tragedy
  FF              A minorAm
Go back to the man with the sweets
FF          A minorAm
Do yourself schooling favor
   FF             C majorC
Head back to the man with the sweets

DmDm              G+G
Those who feared cancer never had much to say
   DmDm            G+G
They bored us at parties onto forty a day
   DmDm       C majorC      DmDm
They forced us into corners and onto forty a day
DmDm             G+G
The dentist's chair is the only time
DmDm        G+G
That anybody ever looks at their mouth
  DmDm           C majorC           DmDm
The dentist give their teeth something to chatter about
DmDm          C majorC        DmDm
School like life turns some men into mice
DmDm          C majorC         DmDm
To avoid the rat-trap take the mouse's advice

     FF       A minorAm
Well they say be wary of strangers
  FF             G+G
Especially if they offer you sweets
     FF          A minorAm
But there ain't no government health warning
  FF            G+G
On half the mad fuckers you meet

FF           A minorAm
Save yourself personal tragedy
  FF            A minorAm
Go back to the man with the sweets
FF           A minorAm
Do yourself schooling favor
   FF            A minorAm
Head back to the man with the sweets
