Intro: Em7, Cadd9, G, D
Em7 Cadd9 G
We're smashing mics in karaoke bars
D
You're running late with half your makeup on
Em7 Cadd9 G
This method acting might pay our bills
D
But soon enough they'll be a different role to fill
Am
I love this feeling
G
But I hate this part
D
I wanted this to work so much
I drew up our plans on a chart
Em7 Cadd9
Cars are flipping, I'm in hot pursuit
G D
My character's strong, but my head is loose
Cadd9
She hits like ecstasy G D
Cadd9 Am
Comes up and bangs the sense out of me
Intrumental: Em7, Cadd9, G, D
Em7 Cadd9
The tarot cards say it's not so bad
G D
And the blades rotate, there's just no landing pad
Em7 Cadd9
And better have said it, but darling you're the best
G D
I'm just tired of falling up the penrose steps
Am
I hate this feeling
G
But I love this part
D
She really wants to make it work
And I clearly want to let it start
Am
We'll build a waterslide
G D
As soon as I get home
Cadd9
Oh and she hits like ecstasy G D
Cadd9 Am
Comes up and bangs the sense out of me
Em D
It's wrong, but surely worst to leave
Cadd9 Am
And she hits like ecstasy
(Palm mute G for the build up)
So free up the cheaper seats
Here comes the Greek Tragedy
Outro: Em7, Cadd9, G, D
