Verse:
I got a crush, copy shop clerk
Am F C(quickly mute after striking)
But she won't look up at me
Don't want to be known as the freak
C E Am(hit and mute)
Who just comes around to catch her eye
Chorus:
We could be sleeping in the flowers, We could sleep all afternoon
You'd proclaim that your an island, I proclaim that I'm one too
Then we float into the harbor, With just piers and boats around
I declare that I am England, You declare that I have drowned
Fill:

Verse 2:
I got a ride, home with a drunk guy
How ungreatful I must have seemed
He showed me how, to spin my head round and round
Chorus:
We could be sleeping in the flowers, We could sleep all afternoon
You'd proclaim that your an island, I proclaim that I'm one too
Then we float into the harbor, With just piers and boats around
I declare that I am England, You declare that I have drowned
Fill:
E-5-5-5-55-55-5-55-5-5-5-55-55-5-5

Chorus:
We could be sleeping in the flowers, We could sleep all afternoon
You'd proclaim that your an island, I proclaim that I'm one too
Then we float into the harbor, With just piers and boats around
I declare that I am England, You declare that I have drowned
We'll be sleeping in the flowers
Tell my boss that I've been fired
We'll be sleeping in the flowers
Tell my boss that I've been fired
We'll be sleeping in the flowers
tell my boss that i'm fired
We'll be sleeping in the flowers
tell my boss that i'm fired
