Em            D              C 
 I once spoke to a meter maid  
Em            D              C 
 She said she liked the work but not the pay  
Em            D              C       Em       D        F 
 Writing tickets while you run away…Afraid 

Em            D              C 
 Said hey to a polar bear  
Em            D              C 
 Said he liked it here but not over there  
Em            D              C 
 That’s what its like inside a dragon’s lair  
     Em     G       Am 
The ice is fading back 

Em                                      G 
Its like teaching architecture to an Eskimo  
G                      C 
You can show him everything you know 
C              (Am)           C 
He still gonna build it out of snow  
Em                                     G 
gonna take my long division down to Mexico  
C 
I can divide …all night 

Em D C x3 
Em D F 

Em     D           C 
  Said hey to an astronaut  
Em          D            C 
  Said he wishes he could pick his spot  
Em            D        C 
  Said he likes to go out a lot 
     Em     G    Am 
and not quite make it back 

Em                                      G 
Its like teaching architecture to an Eskimo  
G                      C

C              (Am)           C 
He still gonna build it out of snow   
Em                                         G 
I’m gonna take my ticket and kick it down in Mexico  
C 
I’m gonna fly, all night 

(Not as sure about the chords here. Corrections would be appreciated because they may be wrong) 
C      Em           G 
(Been around the world,)Been around the world and I’ve seen 
C      Em           G  
(Enough to know what I mean) Don't you know what I mean 
C      Em           G 
(this ticking in my mind) Got this ticking in my mind 
G 
And its about time 

Em         D           C 
Set the record with Joan of arc 
Em         D           C  
She knew her destiny before the spark 
Em         D           C              Em   D   F 
She got the orders and she played her part 

Em                                      G 
Its like teaching architecture to an Eskimo  
G                      C 
You can show him everything you know 
C               (Am)           C 
He still gonna build it out of snow 
Em                                               G  
I’m gonna stand with my feet deeply rooted to the ground below  
C 
I can survive  
All night… 
Yeah! 


The guitar solo is pretty easy so I'll just add it here. If you don't want to play the solo just play the  
Chorus chords.
