♫ Verse 1:
    G       D           Em       D
The evening before at a literary party
     C         Bm           C                   D
with warm intellectuals who listen to françoise hardy
        G              D              Em         D
asked a poet about his summer he said up's and down's
C        Bm           C            D
cleverly transforming adverbs into nouns
      G          D                            Em          D
and i thought it probable that there had been more of the last
          C        Bm            C                   D
but being socially intelligent i changed the subject fast
         G            D                Em            D
we had a card made of gold, could have bought us anything
    C            Bm             C                 D
but there was no time before we had to get up and sing

♫ Chorus:
      C            D      G
and i wished i was andrew bird just younger
  C                                   D
i wished that this crush would last a little bit longer
       G            D        Em
and in spite of the dreadful design
           C                      D
i remember fragments of an island
                     G
with a fake coastline


♫ Instrumental:
G D Em D C Bm C D


♫ Verse 2:
    G        D         Em         D
the next few days during shifting weather
  C          Bm     C                   D
enjoying the sun or hoping it would get better
  G              D       Em           D
i saw two people kissing at the funeral
          C            Bm       C          D
they were not good-looking, but oh so beautiful
               G          D              Em          D
we stole three pens and a poncho and got out of that tent
      C         Bm             C                 D
to go play some ping-pong with balls from heaven sent
          G        D              Em             D
i wrote letters to you whenever i could find the time
              C             Bm           C              D
and they were touching like nothing, but far from sublime


♫ Chorus:
      C            D      G
and i wished i was andrew bird just younger
  C                                   D
i wished that this crush would last a little bit longer
       G            D        Em
and in spite of the dreadful design
           C                      D
i remember fragments of an island
                     G
with a fake coastline

♫ Bridge:
          Am                              G
there's a bridge you have to cross as the rain starts to pour
          Am                           B             B7
you're in the middle of eight thousand people or more
   C                    D                 G               C
it might seem forced at first but you get into it after a while
                                  D
and then to come inside and see a man with such style


♫ Chorus:
               C            D      G
that's when, i wished i was andrew bird just younger
  C                                   D
i wished that this crush would last a little bit longer
       G            D        Em
and in spite of the dreadful design
           C                      D
i remember fragments of an island
                     G
with a fake coastline
