Intro:
A E B F#


Verse 1:
A      E    B      F#
 The more I teach it, the less I can
A       E      B
 Quick out the gates but slower out the pinecone
A     E   B      F#
 I took the fish out of the sea
A        E     B
 Burnt down our house and asked the queen around for tea

Pre-Chorus:
A             E           B
 River to valley, coast to coast, and cheek to cheek
A            E        B
 Wherever I go, there I am, sat next to me


Chorus:
A    E        B       F#
 I wanna love you but it hurts, hurts, hurts
A     E        B      F#
 I wanna stay here but the time slips away from me
A     E         B      F#
 I wanna stay here in this curse, curse, curse
 A        A
Black flamingo, black flamingo


Verse 2:
A       E     B       F#
 Up with the drawbridge, but down the hatch
A        E     B
 The thoughts I juggle are made out of glass, oh
A     E    B    F#
 Always a pleasure, never a chore
A       E    B         A
 We break our legs and then hit the dancefloor


Pre-Chorus:
    E        B
And it takes it out of me
A            E      B
 Wherever I go, there I am indefinitely

A             E        B
 We took a backflip and we landed on our teeth
   A         B
Oh, black flamingo, oh, black flamingo

C#          A
 Give me a leg, give me a leg, give me a leg
G#          F#
 Give me a leg to stand on, stand on
A           C#m
 Give me a leg, give me a leg, give me a leg
F#
 Give me a leg to stand on, stand on


Chorus:
A    E        B       F#
 I wanna love you but it hurts, hurts, hurts
A     E        B      F#
 I wanna stay here but the time slips away from me
A     E         B      F#
 I wanna stay here in this curse, curse, curse
 A        A
Black flamingo, black flamingo

A E B F#
