	[Intro]
G  Am  C

[Verse}
         G           C
When the speed kicks in
  G         Am        C
I go to the store for nothing
    G          C
And walk right by
    G               Am              C
The house where you lived with Snow White
  G                  C
I wonder if she ever thought
              G            Am            C
The storybook tiles on the roof were too much
             G                      C
But from the window, it's not a bad show
                   G       Am           C
If you're favorite thing's dianetics or stucco

[Pre-chorus]
    G              D        C
The drugstores are open all night
              G        D            C
The only real reason I moved to the east side
              G        C             D
I love a good place to hide in plain sight

[Chorus]
G                  Cmaj7         C
What if I told you I feel like I know you
    Em       C
But we never met?

[Verse]
         G                                   C
And here everyone knows you're the way to my heart
             G          Am         C
Hear so many stories of you at the bar
           G                           C
Most times alone and some looking your worst
              G            Am              C
But never not sweet to the trust funds and punishers
       G                         C
Man, I wish that I could say the same
                G      Am             C
I swear I'm not angry, that's just my face

	[Pre-chorus]
          G             D        C
A copycat killer with a chemical cut
           G             D        C
Either I'm careless or I wanna get caught
G    D   C
Ooh, I'm not

[Chorus]
G                  Cmaj7         C
What if I told you I feel like I know you
    Em       C
But we never met?
C
It's for the best

[Outro]
        G       C                       Em
I can't open my mouth and forget how to talk
                 G                             Em
'Cause even if I could, wouldn't know where to start
              Am      C
Wouldn't know when to stop
