Glass Figurine Chords

(ver. 1)
Andrew Bird

Sorry about this, but I'm using a bit of my own homebrew notation on this chord 
chart. Each dash in a line of chords represents a bar (e.g. C--E-Am-F-F7-G-- is 8 
bars total) Where there aren't dashes, the chords are played for less than a bar 
(e.g. F A# C F at the very end).

Please feel free to improve what I have here and make your own version!

              C                                              E
You've got me sitting on your mantle like a little glass figurine
Am                 F
Why must you be so mean?
F7                             G
Don't you know I've got better things to do
           C                                          E
I'm like a mail order product from a housekeeping magazine
    Am              F
How utterly embarrassing 
     F7                    C               
Well lady I'm not going to dance that dance


        F                       C
Let the giraffes do it, let the sad clown cry
     D                    G7
Your porcelain kisses are not going to turn me shy


        C                         E
No, I'm not your little boy, your rosy-cheeked joy,
           F                       F7
though the thought of you makes me sanguine
        C
I'll do anything you want 
      F             G         C
but I won't be your glass figurine
