Baby, you send me, baby,

Am F
Set adrift on memory bliss of you.
F
1. The camera pans the
cocktail glass,
Am
behind
a blind of plastic plants,
F
I found the lady with the fat
diamond ring,
Am
then
you know, I can't remember a damn thing.
F
I think it's one of those de ja vu things,
Am
or a
dream that's tryin' to tell me something,
F
or
will I ever stop thinkin' about it,
Am
I don't
know, I doubt it.
F
Subterranean by design,
Am
I wonder what I would find
F
if I
met you, let my eyes caress you,
Am
until
I meet the thought of Missess Princess Who ?
F
I often wonder what makes her
work,
Am
I guess I'll leave that
question to the experts,
F
assuming
that there are some out there,
Am
they're
probably alone, solitaire.
F
I can remember when
Am
I caught up with a pastime
intimate friend.
- F
She said, "Bet you're probably gonna say I look lovely,
Am
but you
probably don't think nothin' of me."
F
She was right, though, I can't
lie,
Am
she's
just one of those corners in my mind,
F
and I
just put her right back with the rest,
Am
that's
the way it goes, I guess.
F Am F
Baby, you send me, haa, baby, you send me,
Am
set adrift on memory bliss of you.
+ repeat CHORUS
F
2. A careless whisper from a careless man,
Am
a neutron
dance for a neutron fan,
F
marionette
strings are dangerous things,
Am
I thought of all the trouble
they bring.
F
An eye for an eye, a spy for a
spy,
Am
rubber
bands expand in a frustrating sigh.
F
Tell me that she's not
dreaming,
Am
she's
got an ace in the hole, it doesn't have meaning.
F
Reality used to be a friend of
mine,
Am
'cause complete control, I
don't take too kind.
F
Christina Applegate, you gotta put me on,
Am
guess
who's piece of the cake is Jack gone ?
F
She broke her wishbone and
wished for a sign,
Am
I told her whispers in my
heart were fine.
F
What did she think she could do ?
Am
I feel for her, I really do.
F
And I stared at the ring
finger on her hand,
Am
I wanted her to be a big PM
Dawn fan,
F
but I
had to put her right back with the rest,
Am
that's
the way it goes, I guess.
F Am F
Baby, you send me, haa, baby, you send me,
Am
set adrift on memory bliss of
you.
