[Verse 1]
Bm                 G
Soft glow on the city
Em                         A                 F#m
She said, “There’s no one here who can touch you now”
Bm                                 G
Caught the last flight out of LAX

Don’t you forget what goes up must come down
Bm                 G                 Em         A

[Verse 2]
Bm                                 G
On the phone you sound shifty
Em                 A                         F#m
You say that you’re at home, alone right now
Bm                                                 G
But in the background there’s a muffled laugh
Em                         A                         F#m
As you spin that wool and pull it down

[Pre-Chorus]
