I once spoke to a meter maid She said she liked the work but not the pay Writing tickets while you run away…Afraid Said hey to a polar bear Said he liked it here but not over there That’s what its like inside a dragon’s lair The ice is fading back Its like teaching architecture to an Eskimo You can show him everything you know He still gonna build it out of snow gonna take my long division down to Mexico I can divide …all night x3 Said hey to an astronaut Said he wishes he could pick his spot Said he likes to go out a lot and not quite make it back Its like teaching architecture to an Eskimo You can show him everything you know He still gonna build it out of snow I’m gonna take my ticket and kick it down in Mexico I’m gonna fly, all night (Not as sure about the chords here. Corrections would be appreciated because they may be wrong) (Been around the world,)Been around the world and I’ve seen (Enough to know what I mean) Don't you know what I mean (this ticking in my mind) Got this ticking in my mind And its about time Set the record with Joan of arc She knew her destiny before the spark She got the orders and she played her part Its like teaching architecture to an Eskimo You can show him everything you know He still gonna build it out of snow I’m gonna stand with my feet deeply rooted to the ground below 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.

I haven't got any other lead guitar parts because I haven't been able to work them out but I hope this is enough :)
