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!
