Verse 1:
Em                  G                 C 
   I do my makeup in somebody else's car
Em                    G                    C 
   We order different drinks at the same bars
Em                          G                          C 
   I know about what you did and I wanna scream the truth
Em                         G                           C 
   She thinks you love the beach, you're such a damn liar


Refrain 1:
D                                          
   Those great whites, they have big teeth
C                  Em                                             D
   Oh they bite you, thought you said that you would always be in love
                             C                 
   But you're not in love no more, did it frighten you?
Em                                              D
   How we kissed when we danced on the light up floor, on the light up floor


Pre-Chorus 1:
F                 C              G
   But I hear the sounds in my mind
F              C            G
   Brand new sounds in my mind
              F              C           G
   But honey I'll be seein' you 'ever I go
              F              C              G
   But honey I'll be seein' you down every road

  (I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it)


Chorus 1:
                 F                 C                     G
   'Cause honey I'll come get my things but I can't let go

   (I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it)
             F                C                  G
   Oh I wish I could get my things and just let go

   (I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it)


Verse 2:
Em                       G                C
   Sometimes I wake up in a different bedroom
Em                       G                        C
   I whisper things, the city sings them back to you


Refrain 2:
D                                          
   All those rumours, they have big teeth
C                  Em                                             D
   Oh they bite you, thought you said that you would always be in love
                             C                 
   But you're not in love no more, did it frighten you?
Em                                              D
   How we kissed when we danced on the light up floor, on the light up floor


Pre-Chorus 2:
F                 C              G
   But I hear the sounds in my mind
F              C            G
   Brand new sounds in my mind
              F              C           G
   But honey I'll be seein' you 'ever I go

   But honey I'll be seein' you down every road

  (I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it)

Capo 4th fret 


Intro:
C
Night, midnight, lose my mind
Em
Night, midnight, lose my mind
D  
Night, midnight, lose my mind
D  
Night, midnight


Verse 1:
C                           Em                       D  
  Oh God, I'm clean out of air in my lungs, it's all gone
                        D                              C
Played it so nonchalant, it's time we danced with the truth
Em                      D         D  
   Move along with the truth, ooh-ooh (hey)
C                                 Em                           D  
  We're sleeping through all the days, I'm acting like I don't see 
                  D                      C
Every ribbon you used to tie yourself to me


Pre-Chorus 1:
       Em               
But my hips have missed your hips, so let's get to know the kicks
          D  
Will you sway with me, go astray with me? 


Chorus 1:
       C      
(Ah-ha-ah) King and queen of the weekend
Em                                   D         
   Ain't a pill that could touch our rush (but what will we do when we're sober?)
C
   When you dream with a fever
Em                                  D         
   Bet you wish you could touch our rush (but what will we do when we're sober?)
C
These are the games of the weekend
Em                               D             
   We pretend that we just don't care, but we care (but what will we do when we're sober?)
C
Ah, when you dream with a fever 
Em                                  D         
   Bet you wish you could touch our rush (but what will we do when we're sober?)


Verse 2:
   C                    Em                        
Oh God, I'm closing my teeth, around this liquor wet
D                       D                          C
Limelight, lose my mind, I know you're feeling it too
Em                          D          D    
   Can we keep up with the ruse, ah-ah-ah (hey)
C                          Em                         D    
  B-bodies all through my house, I know this story by heart
N.C.                                                       C
Jack and Jill get fucked up and possessive when they get dark


Pre-Chorus 2:
       Em               
But my hips have missed your hips, so let's get to know the kicks
          D  
Will you sway with me, go astray with me? 


Chorus 2:
       C      
(Ah-ha-ah) King and queen of the weekend
Em                                   D         
   Ain't a pill that could touch our rush (but what will we do when we're sober?)
C
   When you dream with a fever
Em                                  D         
   Bet you wish you could touch our rush (but what will we do when we're sober?)
C
These are the games of the weekend
Em                               D             
   We pretend that we just don't care, but we care (but what will we do when we're sober?)
C
Ah, when you dream with a fever
Em                                  D         
   Bet you wish you could touch our rush (but what will we do when we're sober?)


Bridge:
C
Midnight, we're fading
     Em
'Til daylight, we're jaded
   D                           D  
We know that it's over, in the morning
                               C
You'll be dancing with all the heartache
                     Em
And the treason, the fantasies of leaving
       D                                D  
But we know that when it's over, in the morning
                        C  Em
You'll be dancing with us, oh
              D   
Dancing with us, oh (but what will we do when we're sober?)
                        C                           Em
You'll be dancing with us (can you feel it, can you feel it)
              D   
Dancing with us, us (but what will we do when we're sober?)


Outro:
 N.C.
 Night, midnight, lose my mind
(Light, when you get to my)
 N.C.
 Night, midnight, lose my mind
(Light, when you get to my)

We'll end up painted on the road, red and chrome

All the broken glass sparkling, I guess we're partying


Pre-Chorus 2:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Verse 1:
C                                           Em
  Well summer slipped us underneath her tongue
                       F                    Am
Our days and nights are perfumed with obsession
                                          G
Half of my wardrobe is on your bedroom floor
                                   
Use our eyes, throw our hands overboard

C                                      Em
  I am your sweetheart, psychopathic crush
                        F                     Am
Drink up your movements, still I can't get enough
                                G
I overthink your p-punctuation use

Not my fault, just a thing that my mind do


Chorus 1:
  F      G             Am
A ru-u-u-ush at the beginning
             F     G                 Am
I get caught u-u-u-up, just for a minute
           F                                 G                              Am
But lover, you're the one to blame, all that you're doing, can you hear the violence?
    F       G               Am
Megapho-o-o-one to my chest
N.C.
Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom and make 'em all dance to it


Post-Chorus 1:
F  G  Am                                 G
         Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom and make 'em all dance to it
F  G  Am                                 G
         Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom and make 'em all dance to it
F  G  Am                                 G
         Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom and make 'em all dance to it
F  G  Am                                 G
         Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom and make 'em all dance to it


Verse 2:
C                                              Em
  Our thing progresses, I call and you come through
                        F                     Am
Blow all my friendships, to sit in hell with you
                                                 G
But we're the greatest, they'll hang us in the Louvre

Down the back, but who cares, still the Louvre

C                                                Em
  Okay I know that you are not my type (still I fall)
                                F                            Am 
I'm just the sucker who let you fill her mind (but what about love?)
                      G
Nothing wrong with it, supernatural
F                           G
  Just move in close to me, closer, you'll feel it coasting


Chorus 2:
  F      G             Am
A ru-u-u-ush at the beginning
             F     G                 Am
I get caught u-u-u-up, just for a minute
           F                                 G                              Am
But lover, you're the one to blame, all that you're doing, can you hear the violence?
    F       G               Am
Megapho-o-o-one to my chest
N.C.
Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom and make 'em all dance to it


Post-Chorus 2:
F  G  Am                                 G

Verse 1:
            C                      Em                   Am
Baby really hurt me, crying in the taxi, he don't wanna know me
                     G                        F     
Says he made the big mistake of dancing in my storm 
Am/E             Dm G
     Says it was poison

                C             Em                      Am
So I guess I go home into the arms of the girl that I love
                G                  F
The only love I haven't screwed up
                 Am/E               Dm          G  
She's so hard to please but she's a forest fire

        C                         Em                       Am
I do my best to meet her demands, play at romance, we slow dance in the living room
    G                         F
But all that a stranger would see
       Am/E          Dm                G     
Is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek


Chorus 1:
     C             Em              Am 
They say, you're a little much for me
         G      F 
You're a liability
         Am/E            Dm  G
You're a little much for me

             C                Em            Am
So they pull back, make other plans, I understand
      G      F 
I'm a liability
        Am/E           Dm    
Get you wild, make you leave
      G               Am             G    F       
I'm a little much for eh, a-na-na-na everyone


Verse 2:
          C       Em                Am
The truth is I am toy that people enjoy
                G                    F
'Til all of the tricks don't work anymore 
Am/E                   Dm       G
     And then they are bored of me
             
                   C                          Em               
I know that it's exciting running through the night but
              Am                  G                 F   
Every perfect summer's eating me alive until you're gone
Am/E        Dm    G
     Better on my own


Chorus 2:
     C             Em              Am 
They say, you're a little much for me
         G      F 
You're a liability
         Am/E            Dm  G
You're a little much for me

             C                Em            Am
So they pull back, make other plans, I understand
      G      F 
I'm a liability
        Am/E           Dm    
Get you wild, make you leave
      G               Am             G    F

You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun

(Go back and tell it)


Verse 1:
                    G                     C
Please could you be tender and I will sit close to you
      Em                                          C
Let's give it a minute before we admit that we're through
                  G                      C
Guess this is the winner, our bodies are young and blue
    Em                                             C
I'm at Jungle City, it's late and this song is for you

                     G
Cause I remember the rush, when forever was us
                  C
Before all of the winds of regret and mistrust
                   Em
Now we sit in your car and our love is a ghost
                      C
Well I guess I should go, yeah I guess I should go


Chorus 1:
N.C.
Hard feelings
                         G          C
These are what they call hard feelings of love
     Em                                                    C
When sweet words and fevers all leave us right here in the cold, oh oh
               G          C
Alone with the hard feelings of love
      Em                                               C
God I wish I believed you when you told me this was my home, oh oh


Verse 2:
                G                        C
I light all the candles, cut flowers for all my rooms
  Em                                           C
I care for myself the way I used to care about you

           G
These days, we kiss and we keep busy, the waves come after midnight
C
  I call from underwater, why even try to get right?
Em
   When you've outgrown a lover, the whole world knows but you
C
  It's time to let go of this endless summer afternoon


Chorus 2:
N.C.
Hard feelings
                         G          C
These are what they call hard feelings of love
     Em                                                    C
When sweet words and fevers all leave us right here in the cold, oh oh
               G          C
Alone with the hard feelings of love
      Em                                               C
God I wish I believed you when you told me this was my home, oh oh

Three years, loved you every single day, made me weak, it was real for me, yup, real for me
         Em                                         C
Now I'll fake it every single day 'til I don't need fantasy, 'til I feel you leave
    G                                                  C                                
But I still remember everything, how we'd drift buying groceries, how you'd dance for me
     Em                                                 C
I'll start letting go of little things 'til I'm so far away from you, far away from you, yeah

                D                                 C
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
                D                C             G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark


Chorus 1:
G                              Am               Em
  I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
     Am                Em               D   
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
G                             Am            Em
  But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
     Am            Em              D
I'll find a way to be without you, babe


Verse 2:
D
  I still feel you, now and then
C
  Slow like pseudo-ephedrine
D                                    C        Cmaj7
  When you see me, will you say I've changed?

D
  I ride the subway, read the signs
  C
I let the seasons change my mind
  D                                       C
I love it here since I've stopped needing you


Pre-Chorus 2:

Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
                D                                 C
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
                D                C             G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Verse 1:
      C                          F
In my head, I play a supercut of us
                      Am                           F
All the magic we gave off, all the love we had and lost
          C                       F
And in my head, the visions never stop
                      Am                                           F
These ribbons wrap me up, but when I reach for you, there's just a supercut


Pre-Chorus 1:
Am
In your car, the radio up
Am
In your car, the radio up
F
We keep trying to talk about us
F
I'm someone you maybe might love
     Am
I'll be your quiet afternoon crush
G
Be your violent overnight rush

Make you crazy over my touch

Oh it's just a supercut of us, supercut of us


Verse 2:
     C                         F
So I fall, into continents and cars
                       Am                                F
All the stages and the stars, I turn all of it to just a supercut


Refrain 1:
            C
Cause in my head (in my head, I do everything right)
         F
When you call (when you call, I'll forgive and not fight)
        Am
Because ours (are the moments, I play in the dark)
        F
We were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart


Pre-Chorus 2:
Am                       (mute)
In your car, the radio up
Am                       (mute)
In your car, the radio up
F                              (mute)
We keep trying to talk about us

Slow motion, I'm watching our love
     Am
I'll be your quiet afternoon crush
G
Be your violent overnight rush
F
Make you crazy over my touch


Chorus 2:
                            C               F
But it's just a supercut of us, supercut of us
                           Am              F
Oh it's just a supercut of us, supercut of us
                            C               F
But it's just a supercut of us, supercut of us
                           Am              F
Oh it's just a supercut of us, supercut of us


Refrain 2:
            C  
Cause in my head, in my head, I do everything right
F
  When you call I'll forgive and not fight
Am
   All the moments I play in the dark
F
Wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart

This is how we get notorious, ah-ah-ah oh oh
