Chords:
These two lead chords are quite weird! They're all androgyny and someway
senseless. They're similar to each other with a tone between; you can call them:
(no3) (no5) G6sus2(no5)
(no3) (no5) A6sus2(no5)
It's only weird 'cause the bass note is missing, so I'd simply call them:
In the chorus , and also appear. The is of course the same shape
as the two previous chords and the is not played at all, but only appears in

1st Verse:
Please excuse me, but I got to ask
Are you only being nice because you want something?
My fairytale arrow pierces
Be careful how you respond, 'cause you'd not end up in this song
I never gave you an encouragement
And it's doing me in, doing me in
Doing me in, doing me in, doing me in
The more you try to erase me
The more, the more
The more that I appear
The more, the more
The more you try the eraser
The more, the more
The more that you appear
2nd Verse:
You know the answer so why do you ask?
I am only being nice because I want someone
Something
You're like a kitten with a ball of yarn
And it's doing me in, doing me in
Doing me in, doing me in, doing me in
The more you try to erase me
The more, the more
The more that I appear
Oh the more, the more
The more I try to erase you
The more, the more
The more that you appear
No, you're wrong, you're wrong
