Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Emoticons” dari The Wombats.
[Intro]
E B D A
[Verse 1]
E B
It's tough to stay objective baby
F#m
With your tongue abseiling down my neck
A
It's a bullet-proof offer and I can't accept
E B
It's tough to maintain focus baby
F#m
Now all my elephants are in the room
A
We crave the fiction when we need the truth
A E
You need to find a different boy's heart to chew
B
Chew
[Chorus]
D
And all these emoticons and words
A
Try to make it better but they only make it worse
[Verse 2]
E B
It's tough to feign indifference baby
F#m
Now I'm spending all the money I have
A
Trying to impress you is kinda driving me mad
E
And I don't blame the pressure or the vultures in the sky
Bm
I blame what happened everytime we're under neon lights
F#m
We crave the tension in a room with a view
A E
You need to find a different boy's heart to chew
B
Chew
[Chorus]
D
And all these emoticons and words
A
Try to make it better but they only make it worse
[Instrumental]
E B
[Chorus]
D
And all these emoticons and words
A
Fail to make it better their attempts just make it worse
F#m
[Verse]
C#m
It's everything I want
B F#m
And nothing I can keep
C#m
And behind these metaphors
B
I want you literally
F#m A
We crave the fiction when we need the truth
A E
You need to find a different boy's heart to chew
B
Chew
[Chorus]
D
And all these emoticons and words
A
Try to make it better but they only make it worse
[Outro]
E B
But I like it here so much I might stay
F#m
The edge of nowhere is such a beautiful place
A
The edge of nowhere is such a beautiful place
[Ending]
E
