Verse 1:
C ------------- Fmaj7 ---
Slowly, she dis-solves me
C ------------------ G ---------------
In waves of her, and leaves us blurred
C -------------- Fmaj7----
The flow just en-thrals me
C ----------------------- G ------------
I drown in her, she purrs soothing words
C ------------ Fmaj7 -
Warm rain runs mascara
C ------------------------- G -----------
I laugh and say "My billion dollar-babe!"
C -------------------------- Fmaj7
She looks at me like I'm her father
C ---------------- G --------
Then hesitates and looks away
Am --------------- D9 -------
It means "Must try harder..."
Chorus:
C --------------------- G ---------
What d'you wanna go and do this for
Am --------------------- F ------------
Don't you think it's all screwed enough
C ------------ G ---------------
Givin' out the keys to your core
Am ----------------------- F -------------
Now you've really gone and blew that stuff
--- Dm ---------- G --
You looked in her eyes
--------- C ----------
You never wondered why
------------ Fmaj7 ------- G ---------- C ---> INTRO
And now your heart's gonna die and it's tough
Verse 2:
C -------------- Fmaj7
Concrete and dry heat
C ---------------- G --------
music plays from a-nother age
C ---------------- Fmaj7
I'm back in my old street
C -------------------- G ----
head over heels and un-derage
C ------------- Fmaj7
Soft songs fade slowly
C --------------- G (RIFF 2) ---
In and out like a sense of doubt
C ----------------- Fmaj7
The earth shifts be-low me
C --------------------------- G --
And I forget what I was all a-bout
---- Am ---------- D9 -------
This feeling's all through me
Chorus:
C --------------------- G ---------
What d'you wanna go and do this for
Am --------------------- F ------------
Don't you think it's all screwed enough
C ------------ G ---------------
Givin' out the keys to your core
Am ----------------------- F -------------
Now you've really gone and blew that stuff
--- Dm ---------- G --
You looked in her eyes
--------- C ----------
You never wondered why
------------ Fmaj7 ------- G ---------- C ---
And now your heart's gonna die and it's tough
