Lyrics
Nothing like a minor chord
Nothing like a minor chord
To make you want to hold your breath
Nothing like a minor chord
Nothing like a minor chord
To make you want to raise the dead
Nothing like a minor chord
Nothing like a minor chord
To erase all hope for good
But
I couldn't possibly describe it
Possibly describe it
Oh no I couldn't
Though I may just have done
Nothing like a major chord
Nothing like a major chord
To make you want to fall about
Nothing like a major chord
Nothing like a major chord
To make you want to lose control
Yeah, heh, heh
Nothing like a major chord
Nothing like a major chord
To make you want to jump for joy
Oooh...
It'll all be over before you can
Over before you can say
I had no idea that's what he was saying
Nothing like a minor chord
Nothing like a minor chord
To show you what you'll never have
Nothing like a minor chord
Nothing like a minor chord
Nothing like a minor chord
Nothing like a minor chord
To take you where you'll never go
But oh
It'll all be over before you can
Over before you can say
I had no idea that's what he was saying
And I couldn't possibly describe it
Possibly describe it
Oh no I couldn't
Though I may just have done
