G
Elijah has brains and long legs and wears jeans at his hip
G
and nary a girl in the world has been missed by his grip
G
He’s long curly hair, that when wet, goes as far as his chin
G
and his knowledge of poets and punks is debatably thin

[Pre-Chorus]
      F                      C                      G
The thing i like most about him is what I see on the surface
      F                          C                        G         E
Like two distant shores, we are bound by a love that’s an isthmus

[Chorus]
F  D   G
Oh Elijah!

[Verse 2]
G
Elijah, he lay in psychosis one bright sunny day
G
and even in sleep I cannot make myself walk away
G
So pretty was he, I said something I couldn’t retract
G
and so for three years, he spent most of his time in the sack

[Pre-Chorus]
F                        C                           G
Although it’s November, I know we won’t make it to christmas
F                               C                          G         E
Like two distant shores, we are bound by a love that’s an isthmus

[Chorus]
F   D   G     E
Oh Elijah!

F   D   G
Oh Elijah!

[Verse 3]
G
Elijah once told me in private that he’d like a break
G
although he revealed through his actions that he was a fake
G
And so, then in public I told him that he’s too dependent
G
and now to this day I maintain that I am unrepentant

[Pre-chorus]
F                           C                       G
All he can see through the tunnel is none of his business
F                               C                           G      E
Like two distant shores, we are bound by a love that’s an isthmus

[Chorus]
F  D  G       E
Oh Elijah!

F  D  G       E
Oh Elijah!

F  D  G       E
Oh Elijah!

F  D  G       E
Oh Elijah!
