Intro: A D 

A               E             A      D                                 A 
Your sting red full stops my skin, dotted, scratch scratch, now I'm bleeding. 
A               E                             D      A 
Legions upon legions of craftsmen handmade my feelings. 

A 
Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin 

         A                             D      A 
There's bears in the wood and they're out to get me, 
A                            D             A 
And I'm safe from harm if I stay in this chalet. 
     A                 E         A 
And hold me tight and I'll sink in, 
A                D        A 
I'm absorbed in your thinking, 

A 

     A          E 
But you don't know. 
E    D   A 
You-ooo-ooo... 
     A          E 
But you don't know. 
E    D   A 
You-ooo-ooo... 


A               E             A      D                                 A 
Your sting red full stops my skin, dotted, scratch scratch, now I'm bleeding. 
A               E                             D      A 
Legions upon legions of craftsmen handmade my feelings. 


     A     E 
For you-oooo... 
E    D    A 
For you-oooo... 
     A     E 
For you-oooo... 
E    D    A 
For you-oooo..........
