♫ Verse 1:
Gm      D      Ebm              Gm                 D      Ebm
  She flies to Paris, France, I come down in her childhood bed
     Gm              D   Ebm              Gm      D     D
And write the words I'll one day wish that I had never said
D              D   F#m        D              D     F#m

♫ Bridge:
Cmaj7
I am the richest girl in every room
Cmaj7
Mainline to the UE BOOM
Cmaj7         Fmaj7
They ask me

♫ Verse 2:
     Fmaj7
"Why don't you sing with an English accent "
        D
Well, I guess it's too late to change it now
       Fmaj7
In the rural American town fairground
        D
I go 'round and I go 'round
        Fmaj7                                                 D
It's a great wide gulf between intentions and what ground met me
D
I check my phone and make the sound
      Fmaj7
Like "Theme From Failure" performed, but for just you
         D
Like the new road built out of Black Country ground
Fmaj7                   D
I have learned so little from all I lost in 2018
   Fmaj7
I think she's still waiting there for us, somewhere
          D
Underneath what we built to keep the waters clean
                Fmaj7
It's a one-size-fits-all, hardcore, cyber-fetish, early-noughties zine
D
She sells Matcha shots to pay for printing costs and a PR team
      Fmaj7
She's recently enlightened and for some reason, that fazes me
    D
It won't give up, too soft to touch and how hard could it really be?
