[Verse]
E E/A
If you talk to Mary, please don't look at me
G#m7 E/A
Cause she's never seen me before
Emaj7
Don't call attention to the
F#7
Man outside of me
G#m7 E/A
Cause she can cut my head off with the blinking of her eye, and I'm not
A
Supposed to be here, and I'm
F#m
Too young to die
B7sus2 F#7sus2
See, she carries my confusion in the pocket of her jeans
B7sus2 F#7sus2

E E/A
So if you talk to Mary, please don't mention me
G#m7 E/A
Cause she's never seen me before
Emaj7
Just let me hide behind the
F#7
Smoke and pleasantries
G#m7 E/A
Cause I do my best work with the mannequin brigade, I just peek
A
Around the statues
F#m
Spitting art and foreign trade, and she looks
B7sus2 F#7sus2
A hole right through me to a shadow on the wall, 'till I'm sick
B7sus2 F#7sus2
Of my surroundings while I'm not here at all

My head lights a cigarette inside my mind
F#m
And she's never seen me before

Warhol, monotone
B
Robotic talk
F#m
We're all so smart, we're so perceptive
E Cmaj7
But her mouth doesn't move
B
Except to smile
F#m
To be polite, to be receptive
E Cmaj7
She burns me with a glance
B
I look away
F#m F#sus4
I'm safely cool, I'm so deceptive
F#m F#sus4
I'd give my right arm for a different situation
F#m F#sus4
I look 'round, I see everybody's watching me
F#m F#sus4 F#m F#sus4 A
I set myself up for this stupid situation
