verse 1
Abm E B
We're smashing mics in karaoke bars
Ebm
You're running late with half your make-up on
Abm E B
This method acting might pay our bills
Ebm
But soon enough they'll ? and roll the film
Pre-Chorus 1
Abm
I love this feeling
E
But I hate this part
B
I wanted this to work so much
F#
I drew up our plans on a chart
Abm E
Cars are flipping, I'm in hot pursuit
B Ebm
My character's strong but my head is loose

E B Ebm
She hits like ecstasy

Comes up and bangs the sense out of me

Abm E B
The tarot cards say its not so bad
Ebm
And the blades rotate there's just no landing pad
Abm E B
And better have said it but darling you're the best
Ebm
I'm just tired of falling up the Penrose steps
Pre-Chorus 2
Abm
I hate this feeling
E
But I love this part
F#
She really wants to make it work
Abm E
And I clearly want to let it start
Abm E
We'll build a water slide
B Ebm
As soon as I get home
Chorus 2
E B Ebm
She hits like ecstasy
E Dbm
Comes up and bangs the sense out of me
B F#
It's wrong but surely worse to leave

She hits like ecstasy

So free up the cheaper seats

Here comes a Greek tragedy
