Verse 1:

Eadd9
a big town
Abm                       Gbsus4           Eadd9    Abm      Gbsus4  
Synthetic apparitions of not being lonely
Eadd9
"Look! He's having a breakdown
          Abm                   Gbsus4              Eadd9    Abm Gbsus4  
Oh what a let down, a shame, I think he might die!"
      Gbsus4                    Abm                      Eadd9
She's dancing enthralling, I guess I gotta wait my turn
        Gbsus4  
I said, "Don't fall in love with the moment"
Abm                         Eadd9
She said I've got a lot to learn

Pre-Chorus 1:
Eadd9
You know I'm in love with this city
B                        Gbsus4  
But the green is turning brown
     Eadd9              Gbsus4  
And I just look pathetic now

Chorus:
       B                 Eadd9      Abm
If she likes it cause we just don't eat      
          Gbsus4    B         Eadd9   Abm      Gbsus4  
And we're so intelligent, she's American
       B                Eadd9  Abm
If she says I've got to fix my teeth
           Gbsus4    B     Eadd9   Abm      Gbsus4  
Then she's so American -she's American-
       B                 Eadd9      Abm
If she likes it cause we just don't eat
          Gbsus4        B       Eadd9   Abm      Gbsus4  
And we're socially relevant, she's American
       B                Eadd9  Abm
If she says I've got to fix my teeth
           Gbsus4    B    Eadd9   Abm      Gbsus4  
Then she's so American -she's American-

Verse 2:
Abm                       Gbsus4           Eadd9
She's inducing sleep to avoid pain
       Abm                       Gbsus4               Eadd9
And I think she's got a gun divinely decreed and custom made
     Abm                       Gbsus4                     Eadd9
She calls on the phone like the old days, expecting the world
                    Abm                     Gbsus4                  Eadd9
Don't fall in love with the moment And think you're in love with the girl

Pre-Chorus 1:
Eadd9
There's no more water in this city
B                        Gbsus4  
But be careful or you'll drown
     Eadd9              Gbsus4  
You think you've got it figured out

Chorus:
       B                 Eadd9      Abm
If she likes it cause we just don't eat

Well, your face has got a hold on me
         Abm              Gbsus4  
But your brain is proper weird
                Eadd9
Are you feeling the same?
B                                   Abm      Gbsus4  
You just keep nodding at me looking vacant
