Intro Chords: F C F Bb Gm C F Bb Verse 1: F C I'm a young man pleading in a foreign language F Bb To a tall yellow building's small silver intercom Gm C Someone answers back in either German or Spanish F Bb Say I'm sorry I know the number, forgot what floor she lives on F C I'm filled with nostalgia by your elevator F Bb I get deja vu just from looking at you Gm C It's a rose coloured montage from a 1983 F Bb Heartwarming but obvious romantic comedy Chorus: C F And I am struck dumb standing in the kitchen Bb Got it all figured out but in a way that's still approachable. C F The exact right amount of tension and friction Bb Bump around the room and the excitement is palpable. Verse 2: F C Sunbaked all day in the backyard F Bb We spent all night just staring at each other Gm C Unkempt sitting in your friend's car F Bb Windswept, underslept and supercharged F C Got that loving feeling back F Bb Like a positive panic attack Gm C Your friends all know who I am F Bb But they seem to understand Chorus: C F And I am struck dumb standing in the kitchen Bb Got it all figured out but in a way that's still approachable. C F The exact right amount of tension and friction Bb Bump around the room and the excitement is palpable. Verse 3: Gm C You make me laugh, you make laugh, you really make me laugh F Snorts and chuckles from my belly Bb We smoke wet pot in the bath Gm My head's shaking with the trouble that C F Bb You and I could make if that's the step that we decide we will take tonight Gm C F Bb To live an extraordinary life or to die trying Gm C F Bb An ordinary life or to die trying Gm C F Bb An ordinary life or to die trying Bb Die trying. Bridge: F C I wake up while you're asleep F Bb Whisper guitar on the balcony Gm But the subtle synchronicities C And the cheekiness of secrecy Gm And I had been resigned to celibacy C And I can't play this thing quietly Gm I wanna wake up this whole apartment building I just wanna sing Chorus: C F And I am struck dumb standing in the kitchen Bb Got it all figured out but in a way that's still approachable. C F The exact right amount of tension and friction Bb Bump around the room and the excitement is palpable.
