Am
I don't have to say a thing
F
she knows exactly what I want
Dm
and anytime I feel like this
               Em
what we have goes out for lunch
Am
she looks at me like a gun cocked
F
and I'm afraid to turn my back
Dm     Em                Am
  for fear of being locked

         Em
she leans forward for me to see
              Am
that the lights of her majesty
           Em
she's tempting me with a razorblade
      Am
but time is money at a penny arcade
                  Em             F
and there's monkeys in the shadows
        Em                             F
and the birds that are afraid of being late
        Em                          F
the court jester holds up a light bulb and says
                              Am
all that is made is made to decay

[Chorus]
      C                    F
to know her is to love her
             G                      C
and I love her, but I don't know her
     C                   F
to know her is to love her
         G                        C
and I love her, but I don't know her

[Verse 2]
Am
I feel for a place to sit
F
things always go on this way
Dm
I'm lost for a little bit
            Em
'til I come up with something to say
Am
then I'll go on and on
F
about rascals in her lawn
Dm
I'll not specifically mention names
Em                             Am
her and I know we’re just a shame

[Bridge]
    Em
she knows I'm here
        Am
and she readily rebukes her sister
      Em
she treats me with a sudden respect
Am
suddenly she calls me mister
    Em       F         Em     F
but just as soon, I soon forget
           Em    F          Em      F
and start poking around in the trash
 Em     F         Em       F
talking myself into outer space
      Em                          Am
and watching the reactions on her face


[Chorus]
      C                    F
to know her is to love her
             G                      C
and I love her, but I don't know her
     C                   F
to know her is to love her
         G                        C
and I love her, but I don't know her

[Verse 3]
Am
the picture of her sitting there
F
being her on that chair
Dm
I can only say as much as I please
    Em
but not as much as I dare
Am
where is the little girl who fell in love with me
F
the girl who fell in love with a satellite
Dm
that little girl has moved out now
Em
but the satellite still comes around
Am
most every other night

[Verse 4]
Am                  F
I think my interest bleeds a heart
Dm
of a dead dog
Em
lying in her yard
Am
I could catch her standing naked
F
I could catch her cold
Dm
I could catch her breath and bottle it
            Em                  Am
but I could never catch her off guard

[Bridge]
      Em
and I go there nowadays
              Am
it's like visiting a sinking ship
  Em
and I'm a man overboard
                   Am
and she won't throw me a lifeline
Em               F               Em            Am
symbolically represented by her lips


[Chorus]
      C                    F
to know her is to love her
             G                      C
and I love her, but I don't know her
     C                   F
to know her is to love her
         G                        C
and I love her, but I don't know her
         Am
no no no no
