Lisa Hannigan - Oh You Pretty Things Chords

[Verse 1]
D
Wake up you sleepy head
C
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
D
Put another log on the fire for me
C
I've made some breakfast and coffee
D
Look out my window and what do I see
  B                                    Em
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
                        C
All the nightmares came today
                               D
And it looks as though they're here to stay


[Verse 2]
D
What are we coming to?
C
No room for me, no fun for you
D
I think about a world to come
          C
Where the books were found by the golden ones
D
Written in pain, written in awe
     B                                      Em
By a puzzle man who questioned what we were here for
                       C
All the strangers came today
                        D
Looks as though they're here to say


[Chorus]
D       F                      G
Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things)
G
Don't you know you're driving your
F         G       D    F C
Mamas and Papas insane
D       F                      G
Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things)
G
Don't you know you're driving your
F         G       D
Mamas and Papas insane
       F
Let me make it plain
    G                      F    C     D
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior


[Verse 2]
D
Look at your children
C
See their faces in golden rays
D
Don't kid yourself they belong to you
C
They're the start of a coming race
    D
The earth is a b**ch
      D
We've finished our news
B                                Em
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
                       C
All the strangers came today
                               D
And it looks as though they're here to stay


[Chorus]
D       F                      G
Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things)
G
Don't you know you're driving your
F         G       D    F C
Mamas and Papas insane
D       F                      G
Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things)
G
Don't you know you're driving your
F         G       D
Mamas and Papas insane
       F
Let me make it plain
    G                      F    C     D
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior


[Chorus 2]
D       F                      G
Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things)
G
Don't you know you're driving your
F         G       D    F C
Mamas and Papas insane
D       F                      G
Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things)
G
Don't you know you're driving your
F         G       D
Mamas and Papas insane
       F
Let me say it again
    G                      F    C     D
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior
