      Original Of The Species
(Acoustic Guitar Chord Progression)

[Verse]
A               E
Baby slow down
F#m               C#m
The end is not as fun as the start
A               E                      F#m    C#m
Please stay a child somewhere in your heart

[Chorus]
G               D               A
I'll give you everything you want
G               D               A
Except the thing that you want
Am              C               A
You are the first one of your kind

[Post-Chorus]
A                  F#m
And you feel like no-one before
C#m        E
You steal right under my door
     A       F#m
And I kneel 'cos I want you some more
C#m
I want the lot of what you got
E
And I want nothing that you're not

[Chorus]
A              F#m
Everywhere you go you shout it
C#m                   E
You don't have to be shy about it

[Post-Chorus]
A                              E
Some things you shouldn't get too good at
F#m                       C#m
Like smiling, crying and celebrity
A               E                        F#m       C#m
Some people got way too much confidence baby....  baby

[Chorus]
G               D               A
I'll give you everything you want
G               D               A
Except the thing that you want
Am              C               A
You are the first one of your kind

[Post-Chorus]
A                  F#m
And you feel like no-one before
C#m        E
You steal right under my door
      A      F#m
And I kneel 'cos I want you some more
C#m
I want the lot of what you got
E
And I want nothing that you're not

[Chorus]
A               F#m
Everywhere you go you shout it
C#m                   E
You don't have to be shy about it

           G   D           A                A            G
sugar come on, show your soul, you've been keeping your love
D         A

You don't have to be shy about it..(2x) oh my my
        A           F#m
