Ten fingers counting we have each Nine planets around the sun repeat

Everybody's happy, everybody's free

We'll keep the big door open, everyone'll come around

G F

Why're you different, why're you that way

Am C D

If you don't get in line we'll lock you away

(Em/Cmaj7 pattern)

It all comes down to nothing

Six senses feeling Five around a sense of self

Four seasons turn on/turn off

I can see three corners from this corner Two's a perfect number

but One where

could i have been a parking lot attendant?

could i have been a millionaire in bel aire?

could i have been lost somewhere in paris?

could i have been your little brother?

could i have been anyone other than me?

could i have been oh, anyone other than me?

could i have been anyone other than me?

could i have been anyone?

G - F#

he stands touch his head shoes untied

tongue gaping stare could i have been

magnet for money

could i have been anyone other than me?

twenty three i'm so tired of life

such a shame to throw it all away

the images grow darker still

could i have been anyone other than me?

and i,

A D A

look up at the sky my mouth is open wide

lick and taste what's the use in worrying

what's the use in hurrying

D F# G

turn turn we almost become dizzy

G-F#

i am who i am who i am well, who am i?

requesting some enlightenment,

could i have been anyone other than me?

Bm D A

sing and dance i'll play for you tonight

dark clouds may hang over me sometimes

[sax solo over G-F# pattern]

----------------------------------------------

it's not too hard, and the only trouble i think you might have is either

going to be jangling the G-F# right (which takes practice) or dancing

like dave while playing this (which takes skill ;} ).

much of this is just what the other guy (95jds@williams.edu (Jon Stahl))

wrote, i just added the rest of the lyrics and the chords over them.

chords:

Wondering what the other is thinking

But we never say a thing

Place them in a box Until a

Lights down you up and die

Verse

Goes to visit his mommy

She feeds him well

His concerns he forgets them

And remembers being small

Playing under the table and dreaming

All the little ants are marching

Bm/F# D G Bm A

Red and black antennae waving

Bm/F# D G Bm A

They all do it the same

Bm/F# D G Bm A

They all do it the same

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay-Yeah!

Candyman tempting the thoughts of a

Sweet tooth tortured by weight loss

Program cutting the corners there's a loose end loose end

Cut Cut

On the fence so not to offend

Cut Cut

Chorus

Bm/F# D G Bm A

Take these chances

Bm/F# D G Bm A

Place them in a box/Until a

Bm/F# D G Bm A

quieter time lights down you up and die

G D

Lights down you up and die

-----------------------------------------------------------

i can also hear a second guitar, playing just D-G/G-D on the verse

part, and i've seen the "all the ants are marching" section written

out as bass triads; G (3 2 0 x x x) D/F# (2 0 0 x x x) E (0 2 2 x x x).

it sounds good either way to me and in the end it's up to your ear.

chords:

Bm/F#: 2 2 4 4 3 2

A : x 0 2 2 2 0

G : 3 2 0 0 0 3 or 3 5 5 4 3 3

D : 2 0 0 2 3 2 or x 5 7 7 7 x
