["Handcuffed to You"]
[Verse]
F D A#
It's been so long since that magic trick went wrong
F C F
And chained me to you and I want to get out
D A#
Please find the key cause I really gotta pee
F C
And I'm sick of having to hold it and I'm tired
[Pre-Chorus]
A# C F
Of trying to write with my left hand
A# C F
And I'm tired of getting whiffs of your bad breath
A# C F C A#(pm)
And I'm tired of being this close to you when you've got P.M.S
But you know
[Chorus]
F C A#
It's okay Handcuffed to you
F C A#
It's okay Handcuffed to you
F C A# A#(pm)
It's okay Handcuffed to you
[Verse]
It's always the same, this could be our big getaway
But we're going nowhere at all and you know
It's not all that bad, sometimes it's kind of fun, in fact
So let's make the best of it and ask your mom
[Pre-Chorus]
To send a hacksaw in a cake
Pretty soon we'll get the chance to make our break
And we'll smile and say goodbye and then we'll go our seperate ways
But for now
[Repeat Chorus]
[Play solo over verse progression]
[Fade out with verse progression and "It's all right because I'm
handcuffed to you."]
