Verse 1:
A augmentedA      E MajorE    BB      F#F#
 The more I teach it, the less I can
A augmentedA       E MajorE      BB
 Quick out the gates but slower out the pinecone
A augmentedA     E MajorE   BB      F#F#
 I took the fish out of the sea
A augmentedA        E MajorE     BB
 Burnt down our house and asked the queen around for tea

Pre-Chorus:
A augmentedA             E MajorE           BB
 River to valley, coast to coast, and cheek to cheek
A augmentedA            E MajorE        BB
 Wherever I go, there I am, sat next to me


Chorus:
A augmentedA    E MajorE        BB       F#F#
 I wanna love you but it hurts, hurts, hurts
A augmentedA     E MajorE        BB      F#F#
 I wanna stay here but the time slips away from me
A augmentedA     E MajorE         BB      F#F#
 I wanna stay here in this curse, curse, curse
 A augmentedA        A augmentedA
Black flamingo, black flamingo

A augmentedA       E MajorE     BB       F#F#
 Up with the drawbridge, but down the hatch
A augmentedA        E MajorE     BB
 The thoughts I juggle are made out of glass, oh
A augmentedA     E MajorE    BB    F#F#
 Always a pleasure, never a chore
A augmentedA       E MajorE    BB         A augmentedA
 We break our legs and then hit the dancefloor


Pre-Chorus:
    E MajorE        BB
And it takes it out of me
A augmentedA            E MajorE      BB
 Wherever I go, there I am indefinitely

A augmentedA             E MajorE        BB
 We took a backflip and we landed on our teeth
   A augmentedA         BB
Oh, black flamingo, oh, black flamingo
