Intro: C#C# G#G# F#F#

F#F#
I wake up every morning
I hear your feet on the stairs
       C#C#      C#7C#7
Youre in the next apartment
             G#G#
I hear you singing over there

C#C# G#G# F#F#

This groove is out of fashion
These beats are 20 years old
      C#C#      C#7C#7
I saw you lend a hand to
               G#G#
The ones out standing in the cold

C#C# G#G# F#F#

Strange Overtones in the music you are playing
      C#C#
Ill harmonise
   C#7C#7
It is strong and you are tough
    G#G#
But a heart is not enough

C#C# G#G# F#F#

Put on your socks and mittens
Its getting colder tonight
      C#C#     C#7C#7
A augmentedA snowball in my kitchen
              G#G#
I watched it melt before my eyes

C#C# G#G# F#F#

Your song still needs a chorus
I know youll figure it out
      C#C#      C#7C#7
The rising of the verses
               G#G#
A augmentedA change of key will let you out

C#C# G#G# F#F#

Strange overtones though theyre slightly out of fashion
      C#C#
Ill harmonise
      C#7C#7
I see the music in your face
      G#G#
That your words cannot explain

C#C# G#G# F#F#

Strange Overtones in the music you are playing
     C#C#
Were not alone
    C#7C#7
It is strong and you are tough
    G#G#
But a heart is not enough
