[Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
C          G             C
I wished upon a passing neutron star
Am       G              Am        G
 To reassemble all my broken bones
Fmaj7      C             F
 In every dive in Santa Monica
G
 There is a girl whose world has fell apart
C                            Cmaj7
 When I first met you I was kinda dark
Am                                                       G F
 I do believe you were a stranger, once, now, here we are

Who cares if star signs are compatible?
G
 You and I are fucking magical

[Chorus]
F           G    Em                     F
Ooh, don't you think about killing the mood
                  G
I've been lonely so long
          Em         F
We got a good thing going on
 G         Em                F
Ooh, you know, anywhere you go, I want to
          G
So don't you think about killing the mood

[Verse 2]
C                               Cmaj7
 I used to think that lovе was just a word
Am
 A story made for little boys and girls
Fmaj7                       C F
 But when you crashеd into my universe
G
 I guess you broke the curse, congratulations

[Pre-Chorus]
       Cmaj7
I was cynical
C               Am
Underneath the mirrorball
                  Fmaj7
Smiled for my disposable
 F
Man, that's solid gold
          G
Isn't it sexy, we're existing at the same time?

It's a miracle

[Chorus]
F           G    Em                     F
Ooh, don't you think about killing the mood
                  G
I've been lonely so long
          Em         F
We got a good thing going on
 G         Em                F
Ooh, you know, anywhere you go, I want to
          G
So don't you think about killing the mood
                  C
Don't kill the mood

[Bridge]
                                             Am
So when the lights come on and the music dies
                                F
And the DJ says his last goodbye

In the chaos of the cosmos, I'm glad our stars aligned
             G
I know it's you I'm going home with tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
                 C
I used to be so cynical
                Am7
Underneath the mirrorball
                    F
Who knew something good would come?

It was you all along
            G
Now you're running up my phone bill, babe

(No, you hang up, no you hang up)

[Chorus]
F           G    Em                     F
Ooh, don't you think about killing the mood
                  G
I've been lonely so long
          Em         F
We got a good thing going on
 G         Em                F
Ooh, you know, anywhere you go, I want to
          G
So don't you think about killing the mood
                  C       G     Em7 F
Don't kill the mood now, darling

[Post-Chorus]
G Em7          F
     We got a good thing going
G Em7 F
     Oh, yeah
G G# C
                F
Don't kill the mood
