Intro: Abm E Dbm   Abm Eb

Verse 1:
Abm
He told me that much and now he's dead
E
Taught me to kill my indulgences
Dbm
With a sharp blow to the temple
Abm               Eb
Pick up the phone call and do everything he says
Abm
I could take a plastic camera
E
We could make such a pretty picture
Dbm
Oh, so happy, oh, oh, so happy
Abm             Eb
I'm pretty cool once you get to know me

Chorus:
Abm  
I feel at some point, I broke my mind
E  
I'm always searching the silent type
Dbm  
How do you all make it look so easy?
Abm              Eb  
You open your hearts up so quickly, it scares me

Verse 2:
Abm
She's an artist, paints across my chest
E
Goes to parties, act like hotel guests
Dbm
Wake up Monday, now it's over
Abm          Eb
Don't you know no-one gets what they came here for?
Abm
I could paint her, wrapped around her
E
We could make such a pretty picture
Dbm
Oh, so happy, oh, oh, so happy
Abm          Eb
I'm pretty cool once you get to know me

Chorus:
E
But I'm just the same
Dbm          Abm
I've got a boring name
B
Across the board from what you want and what you came here for
E
So, I'll wait here for you
Dbm               Abm
I said, please just let me stay
B
Oh, just let me stay
E  
Verse 3:
Abm
I guess you know now what to expect
E
He lives your own life in retrospect
Dbm
You know it bores me? These insecurities
Abm         Eb
Breaks you down just to act as the architect
Abm
I could wait here, by the west pier
E
Watched the flotsam float, slowly disappear
Dbm
Oh, so happy, oh, oh, so happy
Abm         Eb
If only you knew just how much better things could be

Instrumental:
Abm E Abm
Eb    Eb  
Abm E
   Another week of action
Abm Eb    Eb  
     Another hypoglycaemic reaction

Interlude: Abm E Dbm Abm Eb

Chorus:
E
But I'm just the same
Dbm          Abm
I've got a boring name
B
Across the board from what you want and what you came here for
E
So, I'll wait here for you
Dbm               Abm
I said, please just let me stay
B
Oh, just let me stay
Oh just let me!

Outro: E Dbm Abm

B
I'm sorry it's all so predictable
E Dbm Abm
B
I'm sorry it's all so predictable
E
