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
