[Verse 1]
Am    G         Fmaj7 Fadd9
Let's think of a number
Em7             Am         G
And I'll try to guess your name
Am    G           Fmaj7 Fadd9
Let's drink to the future
Em7             Am      G
I hope it comes round again
Am         G         Fmaj7 Fadd9
Right now, people are dancing
Em7             Am    G
While the world slips away
Am         G
There's no time for
         Fmaj7 Fadd9
love and romancing
Em7          Am
And there's nothing more
    G        Am
to say, hey hey (ahh)
Am      G            Fmaj7
There's nothing more to say
 (doop ahh)

[Verse 2]
Am    G           Fmaj7 Fadd9
Last night, I was talking
Em7     Am           G
to the shadows on the wall
Am       G         Fmaj7 Fadd9
Outside, under the moonlight
Em7     Am      G
I never felt so stoned
Am           G
Because you, you were
  Fmaj7 Fadd9
my hero
Em7               Am       G
and you left and took your bow
Am      G         Fmaj7 Fadd9
So lets play into tomorrow
Em7        Am         G
gotta get out of the now,
      Am
 how, how

[Chorus]
A
Forgive my indecision,
   Bm
 I don't know what
 I should do
G
Detail the think,
                      D
 because it's such a cruel
       Dsus4  D
world
A
The girl on the television,
  Hm
 she's got a magic eye on you
G
She sell you a dream,
               D
she's from a cruel
        Dsus4  D
world
          Fmaj7
So let it all fall,
           Em
all fall down

Dm
The truth won't hurt
     Am    Dm
 her body
Dm
What are we still playing
         Am    Dm
 and pretend?
Dm
Don't ever tell me
          Am
that you love me
         Fmaj7        Em
Cos this might be the end

[Chorus]
A
Forgive my indecision,
   Bm
I don't know what
I should do
G

 she's got a magic eye on you
G
She sell you a dream,
                 D
she's Trying to fool
 the world
          Fmaj7
So let it all fall,
          Em
