Measuring Cups chords by Andrew Bird

Chords with lyrics

D MajorD

G+G
Get out your measuring cups and we'll play a new game
       G+G
Come to the front of the class and we'll measure your brain
         E MajorE
We'll give you a complex and we'll give it a name
G+G
Get out your measuring cups and we'll play a new game
        G+G
Can't have the cream when the crop and the cream are the same
      E MajorE
Liquid or gas no more than the glass will contain
    D MajorD
When you talk about the hand of glory
  D MajorD
A augmentedA tale that's rather grim and gory
   E MajorE
Is it just another children's story that's been de-clawed?
     E MajorE
When the tales of brothers Grimm and Gorey have been outlawed

 A augmentedA
I think they're gonna make you start over
      G+G
You don't want to start over
     A augmentedA
Put your backpack on your shoulder
    G+G
Be the good little soldier
      D MajorD
Take your places now
          G+G
'Cause we're all predisposed

G+G
Measuring cups, play a new game
G+G
Front of the class, measure your brain
       E MajorE
Give you a complex and we'll give it a name
     D MajorD
When you talk about the hand of glory
  D MajorD
A augmentedA tale that's rather grim and gory
    E MajorE
Is it just another children's story that's been de-clawed?
     E MajorE
When the tales of brothers Grimm and Gorey have been outlawed

A augmentedA
Put your backpack on your shoulder
      D MajorD
Be the good little soldier
D MajorD
It's no different when your older
    E MajorE
You're predisposed
Bb majorBb
That's all for questions now
        D MajorD
