Verse 1:
G# minorG#m
He told me that much and now he's dead
E MajorE
Taught me to kill my indulgences
C# minorC#m
With a sharp blow to the temple
G# minorG#m        D#D#
Pick up the phone call and do everything he says
G# minorG#m
I could take a plastic camera
E MajorE
We could make such a pretty picture
C# minorC#m
Oh, so happy, oh, oh, so happy
G# minorG#m       D#D#
I'm pretty cool once you get to know me

Refrain:
G#m***
I feel at some point, I broke my mind
E***
I'm always searching the silent type
C#m***
How do you all make it look so easy?
G#m***      D#***
You open your hearts up so quickly, it scares me

Verse 2:
G# minorG#m
She's an artist, paints across my chest
E MajorE
Goes to parties, act like hotel guests
C# minorC#m
Wake up Monday, now it's over
G# minorG#m     D#D#
Don't you know no-one gets what they came here for?
G# minorG#m
I could paint her, wrapped around her
E MajorE
We could make such a pretty picture
C# minorC#m
Oh, so happy, oh, oh, so happy
G# minorG#m     D#D#
I'm pretty cool once you get to know me

Chorus:
E MajorE
But I'm just the same
C# minorC#m     G# minorG#m
I've got a boring name
G#m7G#m7
Across the world from what you want and what you came here for
E MajorE
So, I'll wait here for you
C# minorC#m        G# minorG#m
I said, please just let me stay
G#m7G#m7
Oh, just let me stay
E***

Verse 3:
G# minorG#m
I guess you know now what to expect
E MajorE
He lives your own life in retrospect
C# minorC#m
You know it bores me? These insecurities
G# minorG#m     D#D#
Breaks you down just to act as the architect
G# minorG#m
I could wait here, by the west pier
E MajorE
Watched the flotsam float, slowly disappear
C# minorC#m
Oh, so happy, oh, oh, so happy
G# minorG#m     D#D#
If only you knew just how much better things could be

Instrumental:
G# minorG#m E MajorE G# minorG#m
D#*** D#***

G# minorG#m E MajorE
  Another week of action
G# minorG#m D#*** D#***
   Another hypoglycaemic reaction

G# minorG#m E MajorE C# minorC#m   G# minorG#m D#D#

Chorus:
E MajorE
But I'm just the same
C# minorC#m     G# minorG#m
I've got a boring name
G#m7G#m7
Across the world from what you want and what you came here for
E MajorE
So, I'll wait here for you
C# minorC#m        G# minorG#m
I said, please just let me stay
G#m7G#m7
Oh, just let me stay
Oh just let me!

Outro:
E MajorE C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
G#m7G#m7
I'm sorry it's all so predictable
E MajorE C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
G#m7G#m7
I'm sorry it's all so predictable
E***
