Verse 1
  C          Am 
I live in an eggshell 
C         Am      Dm 
Sometimes, if I'm careful 
                                  F 
I can make a pinpoint through the shell 
                            C      Am  C  Am 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, and see the light 
C G  F   E7  F  E7 
I am too big to fit through the hole, though 
F      C  F           G  C 
That's my tough luck 
 
Verse 2
          Am        C  Am 
Inside an eggshell  
       Dm 
I am secure 
                          F 
Long as I'm careful (take care)  
               C           Am  C  Am 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, not to move 
    C                           Am 
But I have no control over what happens from the outside 
  Dm                                         F 
I huddle there, worry about something I can't see 
               C                  Am  C  Am 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, will bump into me 
 
Verse 3
F                 Am                    G                      Am 
When it does, you wouldn't believe what happens in an eggshell then 
      Dm            C      G   C    G    C    G C  G  F 
I get scrambled, my brains run like bean soup into my veins 
C                 G/B F     Dm                      F 
Bursting them and my  blood spatters up against the wall 
         C   Am  C  Am 
Worst of all 
  Dm7                                       Em            F   Dm7 
A little bit of me seeps through cracks and trickles away, forever 
 
Verse 4
G          E7   F  E7                  Dm  C F    Dm7  G  C  Am  C 
People who live in eggshells have only one alternative 
         Am       Dm      G  Dm  F 
They can get hard boiled 
     Am    C      Am  C  Am  C 
Hard, hard boiled
