Capo II.




CYou can be my alphabet and I will be your calculator
FAnd together we'll work out on the escalator
CI will time you as you run up and down
FAnd you'll measure my footsteps as I pleasure this town
CThe mean of our heights is divided by the nights
FWhich is times'd by the daggers and the route of all our fights,
CThe pass of your poem is to swathe me in your knowing
FAnd the beauty of the word is that you don't have to show it


Chorus:

fOh academia yFou can't pick me up
CSoothe me with yourFb words when I need your love


Verse (C, F, C, F)

I a a dash and you are a dot
When will you see that I Am all that you've got
I'm a binary code that you cracked long ago
But to you I'm just a novel that you wish you'd never wrote
I'm greater than x and lesser than y, so why is it
That I still can't catch your eye?
You're a cryptic crossword, a song I've never heard
While I sit here drawing circles I'm afraid of being hurt


Chorus (Fm, F, C, Fb)

Oh academia you can't pick me up
Soothe me with your words when I need your love


Verse (C, F, C, F)

You're a difficult equation with a knack for heart evasion
Will you listen to my proof or will you add another page on
It appears to me the graph has come and stolen all the laughs
It appears to me the pen has over analysed again
And if I a a number I'm infinity plus one
And if you are five words you are afraid to be the one
And if you are a number you're infinity plus one
And if I Am four words then I Am needing of your love


Chorus & outro (Fm, F, C, Fb)

Oh academia you can't pick me up
Soothe me with your words when I need your love
Academia
