Librarian

Capo on 3

Am                 Em           
Walk across the courtyard
Am                Em    
Towards the library
Am                Em                
I can hear the insects buzzing
      Dm
Beneath my feet

Am              Em          
Ramble up the stairwell
Am              Em        
Into the hall of books
Am                 Em         
Since we got the interweb
      Dm
These hardly get used

Am             Em           
Duck into the men’s room
Am                 Em       
Combing through my hair
Am              Em          
When god gave us mirrors
     Dm
He had no idea

Am             Em   
Lookin for a lesson
Am            Em      
In the periodicals
Am               Em         
There I sigh and listen
     Dm
To the AM radio

Am            Em              
Karen of the Carpenters
Am             Em     
Singing in the rain
Am              Em      
Another lovely victim
          Dm
Of the mirrors either way

Am                      Em      
It’s not like you’re not trying
Am                    Em    
With a pencil in your hair
Am            Em        
Tutored by the beauty
             Dm
That you long for in there

Am               Em     
Simple little bookworm
Am            Em    
buried underneath
Am                Em  
Is the sexiest librarian
      Dm
Take off those glasses
G
And let down your hair
C
for me

(same chord progression for the rest of song)

So I watch you through the bookcase
Imagining a scene
You and I at dinner
Spending time then we sleep

What then would I say to you
Lyin there in bed
These words with a kiss
I would plant in your head

What is it inside our heads
That Makes us do the opposite
Makes us do the opposite
Of what’s right for us

Cause everythin’d be great
And Everything’d be good
If everybody gave
Like everybody could

Sweetest little bookworm
Hidden underneath
Is the sexiest librarian

Take off those glasses
And let down your hair
For me

Take off those glasses
And let down your hair
For me

Simple little beauty
Heaven in your breath
Simplest of pleasures
The world at its best
