Chorus 1:
The world is an oyster
locked in a shell
You like the taste of
it but can't take the smell
Post Chorus: G--Am--Bm--Em-C-G--Am--Bm--C--
Verse 1:
I can't sleep
to save my life
The day is done
but I don't think
I got it right
I don't want to
kiss right now
You're probably just
what I need but I
can't stand your mouth
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Verse 2:
I dot my t's and cross my i's
Pretend that I can write
I haven't got a nice
thing to say about
anyone except the one
Who caught me staring
so I just walked away
Bridge:
No one likes to give
themselves over
to an empty bed
If you're gonna
sleep like that
Then you might
as well be dead
But you still want
all the covers
And no hair
tickling your face
You're so proud
of your physique
But you still
want your cake
I got it
Chorus 2:
The world is an oyster
locked in a shell
You like the taste of
it but can't take the smell
The world is an oyster
locked in a shell
You like the taste of
Bm C G(Hold)
it but can't take the smell
