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

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


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


Verse 2:
A             E          B             F#
 Up with the drawbridge,  but down the hatch
A               E          B
 The thoughts I juggle are made out of glass, oh
A          E        B        F#
 Always a pleasure,  never a chore
A             E        B                  A
 We break our legs and then hit the dancefloor


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

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

C#                    A

G#                   F#
  Give me a leg to stand on, stand on
A                     C#m
  Give me a leg, give me a leg, give me a leg
F#
  Give me a leg to stand on, stand on


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

A E B F#
