Intro (x2): Am G6 F C
 
Verse 1:
Am                     G
 Put your hands in the air
                 F                 C
If you sometimes ever get sad like me
Am                        G
 Put your fingers on your chest
                  F               C
And your body and breathe, let it be
Am             G
 Don't find it hard to say so
     F                  C
I'll say it, 'I get lonely'
Am                     G
 Put your hands in the air
                 F                 C
If you sometimes ever get sad like me
 
Pre-chorus:
         Am  G            Dm7  C
Sad like me,   wait patiently
                    Am   G
And you're gonna be free
           (nc)
Wait patiently
 
Chorus:
         Am          G6
I get so serious sometimes
    Dm7                  C
My emotions sitting on a wire
      Am              G6
And I gotta be out my mind
           F                             C
'Cause the second that I'm happy and I'm fine
                Am           G
Suddenly there's violins and movie scenes
    Dm7           C
And Cryin' rivers in the street
    Am                G6           Fsus2  C
And God, I don't know why I get so serious sometimes
Am G6   Dm7      C
    (So serious)
Am G6   F      (nc)
     So serious sometimes
 
Verse 2:
Am               G
 I remember last summer in the city
       F                       C
Makin' plans and you felt like mine
Am                G
 Look at me and I felt so Hollywood
     F                           C
But, baby, then you changed your mind
Am                G                   F            C
 I got so xxxxxx' close to feelin' so good, so satisfied
Am               G
 I remember last summer in the city
       F                       C
Makin' plans and you felt like mine
 
Pre-chorus:
         Am   G                 Dm7  C
Sad like mine,  then I froze in time
                 Am   G
You changed your mind
               (nc)
And I'll never know why
 
Chorus:
         Am          G6
I get so serious sometimes
    Dm7                  C
My emotions sitting on a wire
      Am              G6
And I gotta be out my mind
           F                             C
'Cause the second that I'm happy and I'm fine
                Am           G
Suddenly there's violins and movie scenes
    Dm7           C
And cryin' rivers in the street
    Am                G6           Fsus2   C
And God, I don't know why I get so serious
          Am       G6       Dm7      C
I get so, ohhh ohohohhh ohohohhh ohohohhh
Am       G6       F        C
Ohhh ohohohhh ohohohhh ohohohhh
