They Might Be Giants - Ana Ng
(John Flansburgh, John Linnell)
Em C D (x2)
Em C DMake a hole with a gun perpendicular
Em C DTo the name of this town in a desktop globe
E Am G C GExit wound in a foreign nation
D C DShowing the home of the one this was written for
Em C DMy apartment looks upside down from there
Em C DWater spirals the wrong way out the sink
E Am G C GAnd her voice is a backwards record
D C DIt's like a whirlpool and it never ends
Chorus:
G C D CAna Ng and I are getting old and we still haven't walked
G Bb C DIn the glow of each other's majestic presence
G C D CListen Ana hear my words, they're the ones you would think
G Bb C DI would say if there was a me for you
Em C DAll alone at the '64 World's Fair
Em C DEighty dolls yelling "Small girl after all"
E Am G C GWho was at the Dupont Pavilion?
D C DWhy was the bench still warm? Who had been there?
Em C DOr the time when the storm tangled up the wire
Em C DTo the horn on the pole at the bus depot
E Am G C GAnd in the back of the edge of hearing
D C DThese are the words that the voice was repeating:
Chorus:
G C D CAna Ng and I are getting old and we still haven't walked
G Bb C DIn the glow of each other's majestic presence
G C D CListen Ana hear my words, they're the ones you would think
G Bb C DI would say if there was a me for you
C D G D CWhen I was driving once I saw this painted on a bridge:
C D G D C"I don't want the world, I just want your half"
Em C DThey don't need me here, and I know you're there
Em C DWhere the world goes by like the humid air
E Am G C GAnd it sticks like a broken record
D Am G C GEverything sticks like a broken record
D Am G C GEverything sticks until it goes away
D C DAnd the truth is, we don't know anything
G C D CAna Ng and I are getting old and we still haven't walked
G Bb C DIn the glow of each other's majestic presence
G C D CListen Ana hear my words, they're the ones you would think
G Bb C DI would say if there was a me for you
Bb C
G C D CAna Ng and I are getting old and we still haven't walked
G Bb C DIn the glow of each other's majestic presence
G C D CListen Ana hear my words, they're the ones you would think
G Bb C DI would say if there was a me for you
Bb C
