Academia(Chords)

	        

F 
You can be my alphabet and I will be your calculator 
E 
And together we'll work out on the escalator 
F 
I will time you as you run up the down 
E 
And you'll measure my footsteps as I blow through this town 
F 
The mean of our heights is divided by the nights 
E 
Which is times'd by the daggers and the route of all our fights 
F 
The pass of your poem is to swathe me in your knowing 
E 
And the beauty of the word is that you don't have to show it 

Am           C 
Oh academia you can't pick me up 
F                    Ab 
Soothe me with your words when I need your love 

F 
I am a dash and you are a dot 
E 
When will you see that I am all that you've got 
F 
I'm a binary code that you cracked long ago 
E 
But to you I'm just a novel that you wish you'd never wrote 
F 
I'm greater than x and lesser than y, so why is it 
E 
That I still can't catch your eye? 
F 
You're a cryptic crossword, a song I've never heard 
E 
While I sit here drawing circles I'm afraid of being hurt 

Am           C 
Oh academia you can't pick me up 
F                    Ab 
Soothe me with your words when I need your love 

F 
You're a difficult equation with a knack for heart evasion 
          E 
Will you listen to my proof or will you add another page on 
     F 
It appears to me the graph has come and stolen all the laughs 
      E 
It appears to me the pen has over analysed again 
    F 
And if I am a number I'm infinity plus one 
    E 
And if you are five words you are afraid to be the one 
    F 
And if you are a number you're infinity plus one 
    E 
And if I am four words then I am needing of your love 

Am           C 
Oh academia you can't pick me up 
F                     Ab 
Soothe me with your words when I need your love 

( Am  C  F  Ab ) 

Oooh Academia, Academia, Academia
