Chorus 1:
G+G         A minorAm
 The world is an oyster
B minorBm      E minorEm  C majorC
 locked in a shell
G+G       A minorAm
 You like the taste of
    B minorBm       C majorC
it but can't take the smell

Post Chorus: G--Am--Bm--Em-C-G--Am--Bm--C--

Verse 1:
B minorBm
 I can't sleep
      C majorC
to save my life
The day is done
      G+G
but I don't think
 D/F#D/F#  E minorEm  C majorC
I got it right
B minorBm
 I don't want to
      C majorC
kiss right now
You're probably just
        G+G
what I need but I
    D/F#D/F#   E minorEm  C majorC
can't stand your mouth

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Verse 2:
B minorBm             C majorC
 I dot my t's and cross my i's
Pretend that I can write
 G+G       D/F#D/F#
I haven't got a nice
     E minorEm C majorC B minorBm
thing to say  about
     C majorC
anyone except the one
Who caught me staring
  G+G   D/F#D/F#  E minorEm C majorC
so I just walked away

Bridge:
D MajorD
 No one likes to give
  E minorEm
themselves over
      C majorC
to an empty bed
If you're gonna
      G+G
sleep like that
     A minorAm
Then you might
      C majorC
as well be dead
D MajorD
 But you still want
    E minorEm
all the covers
And no hair
       C majorC
tickling your face

You're so proud
      G+G
of your physique
     A minorAm
But you still
     C majorC
want your cake
   D MajorD
I got it

Chorus 2:
G+G         A minorAm
 The world is an oyster
B minorBm      E minorEm  C majorC
 locked in a shell
G+G       A minorAm
 You like the taste of
    B minorBm       C majorC
it but can't take the smell
G+G         A minorAm
 The world is an oyster
B minorBm      E minorEm  C majorC
 locked in a shell
G+G       A minorAm
 You like the taste of
    B minorBm       C majorC  G(Hold)
it but can't take the smell
