Oh  my darling I was born when I met you
 If you don't mind now would I lie cuz could I get you
 To re-design and re-deliver me again
 I'll be your baby and I'll be your father
 Your little brother won't be no bother
 Just born  in autumn, came and I am here
I  see you saw me in the mirror  in half
it's  so exciting that we both  just laugh and laugh
The  other night you were away I missed you so bad
 I found me doing something desperate I was so sad
 I swear I held my own hand pretending it was yours
 Oh my monkey love is funny when it's so strong
 And it's so strong and it goes on for so, so long
 And it's long and strong and funny and it pours
I  see you saw me in the mirror  in half
 (play once before ripping
 it's so exciting that we both just laugh and laugh into the outro)
 The outro starts with two downstrokes on D(5) and basically consists of playing the E5
 chord over and over with two downstrokes on either D5 (x577xx), G5 (x101212xx) or
 occasionally C5 (x355xx) and D5 at the end of each bar. Make it up as you go along or
 play something like this:
 Easy-peasy!
