(CN.C.)Da na na na, da na na na, (The, the, the, the, da the na re na na, flex.) da na na na, (The re flex.) da na na na, (The re flex.) da na na na, (The re flex, fle-, fle-, fle-, fle-, flex.) You’ve gone too (F)far this time,

and I’m (Gm)danc ing on the (C)val en tine.

I tell you, (F)some bod y’s (Cm7)fool ing a round with my (Gm)chanc es on the (C)dan ger line.

I’ll (Gm)cross that bridge when I find it; an (F)oth er day to (Gm)make my stand, (C)oh, oh.

(Gm)High time is (F)no time for de cid ing if (F)I should find a (Gm)help ing hand, (C)oh, oh.

(Am)Why don’t you (G)use (F)it?

(Am)Try not to (G)bruise (F)it.

(Am)Buy time, don’t (G)lose (F)it.

Well, (Am)why don’t you (G)use (F)it?

(Am)Try not to (G)bruise (F)it.

(Am)Buy time, don’t (G)lose (F)it.

The (D)re flex is a lone ly child; he’s (C)wait ing by the (Gsus)park.

The (D)re flex is in charge of find ing (C)treas ure in the dark

and (D)watch ing o ver luck y clo ver.

(C)Is n’t that bi (Gsus)zarre?

And (D)ev ’ry lit tle (D7)thing the re flex does leaves you (C)an swered with a ques tion mark.

I’m on a ride and I (Cm7)wan na get off, but they (Gm)won’t slow down the (C)round a bout.

I sold the Ren oir and (Cm7)T V set.

Don’t wan na be a round when (C)this gets out.

So, (Am)why don’t you (G)use (F)it?

(Am)Try not to (G)bruise (F)it.

(Am)Buy time, don’t (G)lose (F)it.

(Am)Why y y y y, wh-, wh-, (F7)why y y.

(Yeah.) (Am)Why y y y y, wh-, wh-, (F7)why y y.

(Yeah.) (Am)Why y y y y don’t you (G)use (F)it?

(Am)Buy time, don’t (G)lose (F)it.

The (D)re flex is a lone ly child; he’s (C)wait ing by the (Gsus)park.

The (D)re flex is in charge of find ing (C)treas ure in the dark

(C)Is n’t that bi (Gsus)zarre?

And (D)ev ’ry lit tle (D7)thing the re flex does leaves me (C)an swered with a ques tion mark.

Ah, the re flex: what a game.

He’s (C)hid ing all the (Gsus)cards.
