Intro:

 A augmentedA  E MajorE | G+G  D MajorD | F#F# | F#F# : 2x



Verse 1:
A augmentedA       E MajorE
 The college years were lean, well
G+G    D MajorD       F#F#
 Coming out but maybe not so clean, my love
A augmentedA      E MajorE
 And if I stay much longer
G+G       D MajorD          F#F#
 My feelings for you, they might get much stronger now
A augmentedA    E MajorE
 A augmentedA Motorola coma
G+G      D MajorD     F#F#
 Sleep your way into a deep diploma, girl
A augmentedA    E MajorE
 At the dormitory
G+G       D MajorD       F#F#
 You come to pour me one of your best stories, girl

Chorus:
    BB           F#F#
And I feel your face getting wet
     BB        F#F#
Like the color red of roulette
    G+G       D MajorD
And I place my losing bet
     E MajorE
On your side
    BB          F#F#
And I see your eyes of regret
     BB          F#F#
But you gave as good as you get
     A augmentedA        E MajorE
Like the Massachusetts threat
     F#F#
Running wild


Verse 2:
A augmentedA      E MajorE
 A augmentedA pair of dirty jeans, well
G+G      D MajorD        F#F#
 You would wash inside my brass machine, that's good
A augmentedA    E MajorE
 Laying on your mattress
G+G      D MajorD        F#F#
 A augmentedA thing of beauty, we would need more practice now
A augmentedA     E MajorE
 Hall and Oates were singing
G+G      D MajorD         F#F#
 The funny notes that you were always bringing, girl
A augmentedA    E MajorE
 An elevator's closing
G+G     D MajorD         F#F#
 Hard to hide when love is so exposing

Chorus:
    BB           F#F#
And I feel your face getting wet
     BB        F#F#
Like the color red of roulette
    G+G       D MajorD
And I place my losing bet
     E MajorE
On your side
    BB          F#F#
And I see your eyes of regret
     BB          F#F#
But you gave as good as you get
     A augmentedA        E MajorE
Like the Massachusetts threat
     F#F#
Running wild


Bridge:
D MajorD     A/C#A/C#
 When I drove her
D MajorD     A/C#A/C#
 To Villanova
D MajorD       A/C#A/C#   F# minorF#m  E MajorE
 Light me up when you decide
D MajorD      A/C#A/C#
 The stark aroma
D MajorD       A/C#A/C#
 Of your Tacoma
D MajorD       A/C#A/C#   F# minorF#m  E MajorE
 A augmentedA tiny box where we reside
D MajorD      A/C#A/C#
 Battle tested
D MajorD       A/C#A/C#
 A augmentedA life invested
D MajorD    A/C#A/C#   F# minorF#m  E MajorE
 Duly noted and denied
D MajorD     A/C#A/C#
 Fully loaded
D MajorD      A/C#A/C#
 Space encoded
D MajorD     A/C#A/C#       F# minorF#m  E MajorE
 A augmentedA quiet night out in the sky


Outro:
A augmentedA        E MajorE
 Your stack of lies was daunting
G+G      D MajorD         F#F#
 A augmentedA tribute to your mind, but way more haunting now
A augmentedA      E MajorE
 A augmentedA talking psycho killer
G+G       D MajorD       F#F#
 Betrayed the heads of even Henry Miller now
A augmentedA     E MajorE
 Conspiracy's a theory
G+G      D MajorD         F#F#
 I wonder
Tim, if this could be your Leary, love
A augmentedA        E MajorE
 She acts like Marlon Brando
G+G    D MajorD        F#F#
 Born online inside the San Fernando


Ending:
 A augmentedA  E MajorE | G+G  D MajorD | F#F# | F#F# : 2x

 N.C. | N.C. | N.C. | N.C. : 2x
