[Verse]
Em         D
Hey you're too true
to be good
Em          D
And I'm too bad to pretend
     C                D
Transparent and transfixed,
         C    D
I'm uncool
Em                D
Heart beat you're looking
at me
Em             D
Must stop I'm letting you see
     C           D
This isn't how I want
          C  D
it to be
Em            Am
I have vision like no other
Bm          C
So romantic you'll discover

Drift while you're talking
                   D
Bathe while you're downstairs
                G
And chat on the phone
                  A7
Fall sleep before bedtime
            C
Pass in the hallway
            D
Forget your birthday
                    Em D Em
And shrink all your clothes
