Blue Hippo

Capo: 3rd fret

[Intro]
G   D C G
 
 
[Verse 1]
G
She sat on the cliff of the bed
Em                   D
Tackled me with a plastic comb
Em          D       C       G
Pressed her fingers into my head
C                    D
Start at the blonde, search for the bone
Em           D            G            C
She tries to tame me, her nails and my knots
Em             D                 G          C
Bathe with the sandman, dress up for what's not
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       D              C
Let me tangle, let me dry
          D            C
Want it wicked, let me ride
 
 
[Chorus]
          F
Come into my cave
     C              G
Blue hippo into the black
            F
I'm your problem child
C              G    D
Your matter of fact
 
 
[Verse 2]
G            C     G
I slyly side-step, sorry
Em             D
Drag my heels across the street
Em  D        C     G
Shе tells me I'm unlettеred while
C                D
I read the backs of her knees
Em            D        G             C
Catch me in habits one tight skyward eye
     Em             D             G          C
Pull hats out of rabbits and salt out of the sky
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       D              C
Let me tangle, let me try
          D            C
Want it wicked, let me rile
 
 
[Chorus]
          F
Come into my cave
     C              G
Blue hippo into the black
            F
I'm your problem child (Problem)
C              G    D
Your matter of fact
 
 
[Verse 3]
G                  C
What a thought was in whale water
    Em                  D
Was really here runnin' through the pipes
Em          G   C       G
To show off her flex-ability
C               D
She made a fool of my fight
Em        G                          C
I bit her belly, she bellowed like a swan and
Em              D                 G        C
Cured me like a petal, pressed in her open palm
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       D              C
Let me tangle, let me try
          D            C
Want it wicked, let me rile
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
          F
Come into my cave
     C              G
Blue hippo into the black
         F
I'm your problem child (Problem)
C              G
Your matter of fact
          F
Come into my cave
     C              G
Blue hippo into the black
         F
I'm your problem child (Problem)
C              G  D
Your matter of fact
