A augmentedA
Now, what is this?
E MajorE      D MajorD
Feeling I know you from long ago

From deep in my past
A augmentedA
I don't know why
E MajorE          D MajorD
Why I trust you completely

Don't question it

The bottle is empty

Club closing early

The fog machines

And lasers swirling

It's Halloween
D MajorD
I'm sorry for screaming
C majorC
But I'm afraid

I scare you completely


♫ Verse 3:
A augmentedA
Now, what is this?
E MajorE
Blizzard in April

I'm underdressed as usual
A augmentedA
And you're cheating death
E MajorE
Buying time through the winter

It's house arrest

No stopping for dinner

Microphone working

Can't hear myself

The cameras are rolling

And there's the cue

My heart, it beats so hard
C majorC
I look for you and suddenly fall


♫ Verse 5:

Now, what is this?

Robin you rescued

Has broken wing

Not broken long

You search the room

Someone yells from the garden

The orange cat

Finish what you started


♫ Verse 6:
A augmentedA
Now, what is this?
E MajorE
Skidding of tires
D MajorD
I hold my breath

And you're running fast
A augmentedA
As the SUV
E MajorE
Smashes into the sidewalk
D MajorD
And 911

Won't answer the call


♫ Verse 7:
G+G
Now, what is this?
D MajorD
Hollywood ghost town
C majorC
A augmentedA shootout scene

No actors at all
G+G
Last night I dreamed
D MajorD
You and I were immortal
C majorC
It's no big deal

This new kind of normal
