   It's alright,     we know what we  are         Absolutely barking 
stars



G    D    Dm    C        (1 measure each)



2ND VERSE:

 G                         D                   D Dsus4 D  Dsus2
The bitch is quick, I've tried to trip her up

E|-2--2h3--2--0-----| 
B|-3--3----3--3--3--| 
G|-2--2----2--2--2--| 

Dm                          C
She is full of tricks and blends so sticky in my blood
 G           D
But she can fly
    Dm                         C
And I can only run from everything and after her
Cm                       G
I'm wired and tired and full of holes
Dm                     Am
And she plays Pandora with my soul
Cm                      Gm
I'll never let her go -- it's so quiet here without her
