capo 3 — sounds 3 semitones higher

Verse 1

One day I will build a fountain
Drink and never grow old 
Then I'll market an elixir
that will eliminate the common cold
Find your sickness on my list 
Pay up front and make a wish 

Verse 2

One day I will work with animals
All the tests I'm gonna do 
All my stuff's completely natural
And when we're done we'll boil 'em down for glue
That we can use to re-adhere 
Your lips to mine if you were here 

Chorus

There's a lot I will never do
Some fantastic, I know it's true
But none as much as my want to be with you

Verse 3

I can't stand to wait in line long
So I built a new machine 
It just measures up the distance
And then eliminates the folks between

Verse 4

One day I'll construct a satellite
And I'll name it after you 
'Cause you were the greatest friend of all
Except for when you split my lip in two
To see the look upon your face 
As I launch you into space. 

Chorus

There's a lot I will never do
Some fantastic, I know it's true
But none as much as my want to be with you

Bridge

Bye-bye self-respect
I haven't had much of it since you left
I missed out on the best of you

Verse 4

Some day I will find the secret
To your social chemistry 
Then I'll print it on a t-shirt
And it'll make you want to be with me
If I wear it past your work 
You'll see other guys are jerks 
Much like pheromones for flies 
You will not avoid my eyes. 

Chorus

There's a lot I will never do
Some fantastic, I know it's true
But none as much as my want to be with you

Bridge

Bye-bye self-respect
I haven't had much of it since you left
I missed out on the best of you

Bridge

Bye-bye self-respect
I haven't had much of it since you left
I missed out on the best of you

Outro

Bye bye-- 
Bye bye-- 
Bye bye--
