Fm7 C#/F#
Cause she's never seen me before
C#maj7
Don't call attention to the
D#7
Man outside of me
Fm7 C#/F#
Cause she can cut my head off with the blinking of her eye, and I'm not
F#
Supposed to be here, and I'm
D#m
Too young to die

See, she carries my confusion in the pocket of her jeans
B7sus2 F#7sus2
Bouncing like a pinball in between extremes

Smoke and pleasantries
Fm7 C#/F#
Cause I do my best work with the mannequin brigade, I just peek

Around the statues
D#m
Spitting art and foreign trade, and she looks

Of my surroundings while I'm not here at all

Warhol, monotone

Robotic talk
D#m
We're all so smart, we're so perceptive
C# Amaj7
But her mouth doesn't move
G#
Except to smile
D#m
To be polite, to be receptive
C# Amaj7
She burns me with a glance
G#
I look away
D#m D#sus4
I'm safely cool, I'm so deceptive
D#m D#sus4
I'd give my right arm for a different situation

I set myself up for this stupid situation
