Intro -x2-: F Bb Gm Bb

Verse 1:
F              Bb
I feel knotted up today
    Gm        Bb
But in a most exquisite way
     F                Bb
Like neckties or like macrame
   Gm                 Bb
Bowlines and Zeppelin bends

Verse 2:
F             Bb
If you were a theremin
  Gm                     Bb
I wouldn't know where to begin
F                        Bb
My hands would stay here on my chin
       Gm             Bb
With a hum that never ends

Pre-Chorus:
F         Bb
This suit doesn't fit me
  Gm             Bb
I made it myself counterfeitly
     F
With buttons of blue
Bb              Gm
Killing me with déjà vu

Chorus:
Bb              Gm
It's a gift for you
       Eb                F
When I escape at last
Dm      Gm  Bb       F
When enough time has passed
    Gm                 Eb
But something keeps me as a pet
    Dm                Gm           F
The only house that's not on fire yet
  Dm             Gm          F
I made it when I was an architect
Dm             Gm            F
This is just a side effect

Interlude -x2-: F Bb Gm Bb

Verse 3:
F                Bb
I feel strangely regular
    Gm        Bb
But honestly, I prefer it to
F      Bb
The usual bizarre
Gm        Bb
Damn that oxymoron

Verse 4:
F             Bb
If you were a piece of dust
    Gm             Bb                F
I'd shine a light through the busted window
        Bb
And I'd learn to trust
       Gm                  Bb
In the updraft that you're on

Pre-Chorus:
F             Bb
Click! Click! Auto-focus!
    Gm                    Bb
The film's in the can like hocus-pocus
  F
a picture of you
Bb               Gm
Killing me with déjà vu

Chorus:
Bb                   Gm          Eb             F
Don't know what I'll do when I escape at last
Dm       Gm     Bb       F
When the end of time has passed
    Gm                 Eb
But something keeps me as a pet
    Dm                Gm           F
The only house that's not on fire yet
  Dm             Gm          F
I made it when I was an architect
Dm             Gm            F
This is just a side effect

Bridge:
F                       Bb
The punchline is: there is no punchline
Gm                      Bb
The punchline is: there is no punchline
F                       Bb
The punchline is: there is no punchline
Gm                          Bb
The punchline is that there is no punchline
F                           Bb
The punchline is that there is no punchline
Gm                          Bb
The punchline is that there is no punchline
F                       Bb
The punchline is: there is no punchline
Gm                      Bb
The punchline is that there is no punchline

Pre-Chorus:
F     Bb                     Gm
Oh! I just thought of how to change all the hate
Bb                 F
Into love with the old switcheroo
Bb            Gm
Dancing in my déjà vu
Bb                Gm
You'll be dancing too

Chorus:
       Bb        Eb    F
When I escape at last
Dm       Gm     Bb     F
When the future is the past
    Gm                 Eb
But something keeps me as a pet
    Dm                Gm           F
The only house that's not on fire yet
    Dm                Gm           F
The only house that's not on fire yet
    Dm                Gm           F
The only house that's not on fire yet
    Dm                Gm         F
The only house that's not on fire -yet-
