Intro F#m E F#m (x2) 

Verse 

                                F#m 
I left your house when you were sleeping 
                        E           F#m 
Having correctly had my head screwed on 
                F#m 
Tried to find a way to write a note 
                   E 
Couldn't get your shower to work 
                            
                           F#m 
I sort of wish that it was raining 
                         E             F#m 
So that I could pull the hood up on my coat 
                       F#m 
I'm always happy to be leaving 
                     E 
Could be the company I'm keeping 

                                  D          Bm 
Like when you're looking for your shades 
                     D 
Rifling through your pockets 
                          Bm 
And you find them on your face 

             F#m        E 
Ooh I can't escape it, abnormal behavior 
               F#m 
Uncontrollably vapor 
        E 
And on, bout some/ 
               F#m 
Thing done 
           E 
Sooner or later 
                     F#m 
This strange little arrangement 
                E 
And all of its exchanges 
           
Must cease

Verse 

                F#m 
Shouldn't have come back 
               E                 F#m 
Shouldn't have switched it on at all 
               F#m 
Didn't mean to hold you so close 
        E 
But you know how it goes 
   
                           F#m 
I sort of wish that it was sunset 
                           E          F#m 
I kind of wish that it was New Year's Day 
     F#m 
On a vacant street 
          E 
I cast a long-eyed shadow 

                                  D          Bm 
Like when you're looking for your shades 
                     D 
Rifling through your pockets 
                          Bm 
And you find them on your face 
                    D        Bm 
Walking around in a daze 
                D 
I don't want to stop it 
             Bm 
Baby let you trade 

             D 
Ooh I can't escape it 
         Bm                       D 
Abnormal behavior, uncontrollably vapor 
              Bm 
And on about some/ 
             D 
Thing done 
          Bm 
Sooner or later 
                     D 
This strange little arrangement  
               Bm 
And all of its exchanges 

Must cease 

Outro 

F#m 
Not easy to see where to go 
Bm 
The misty middle twist and swallow 
Fm 
The curves are the only part  
Bm 
I know 
And maybe takes a side of cool 
D     Bm 
Oooh 
D     Bm 
AwO0ou
