[Verse 1]
Am
I ain't quite where I think I am
F                  Dm
But it's always worth
half the price
F
You know the face but
             Gdim7
you can't see past
F
The disco snow strobes
                       Dm
in the stumbling blocks
         F
Wait there's the other island now

[Chorus]
Cm - C#dim7
|       Riff 1       | G#
Formation displays of affection
fly right over
G#                Fm
  (Eyes roll back)
      D7
And I can see both islands now
Am
Ah

[Verse 2]
Am
It's the intermission
Let's shake a few hands
Blank expressions invite
me to suspect
I ain't quite where I think I am
F        Dm
Stackable party guests
F                      Gdim7
Fulfill the awkward silences
F
The disco strobes in
                     Dm
the stumbling blocks
               F
Wait there's the other island now

Formation displays of affection
fly right over
G#                Fm
  (Eyes roll back)
      Gdim7
And I can see both islands now
       Cm
From my vantage point

[Bridge]
                 Gdim7
The spare set of tingles
        Gm           Bb
awaits up your spine
        Edim7  Eb
If I get it my way
Bb   Gm   Bb
Am
Looks like the Riviеra
Is coming into land
Other predictions would
seem to suggest
I ain't quite where
I think I am

[Chorus]

Formation displays of affection
