[Verse]
C C/F
If you talk to Mary, please don't look at me
Em7 C/F
Cause she's never seen me before
Cmaj7
Don't call attention to the
D7
Man outside of me
Em7 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
Dm
Too young to die
B7sus2 F#7sus2
See, she carries my confusion in the pocket of her jeans
B7sus2 F#7sus2
Bouncing like a pinball in between extremes
[Chorus]
F Em7
I'm not surprised, this happens all the time
C Em7
My head lights a cigarette inside my mind
Dm
And she's never seen me before
[Verse]
C C/F
So if you talk to Mary, please don't mention me
Em7 C/F
Cause she's never seen me before
Cmaj7
Just let me hide behind the
D7
Smoke and pleasantries
Em7 C/F
Cause I do my best work with the mannequin brigade, I just peek
F
Around the statues
Dm
Spitting art and foreign trade, and she looks
B7sus2 F#7sus2
F 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
[Chorus]
F Em7
I'm not surprised, this happens all the time
C Em7
My head lights a cigarette inside my mind
Dm
And she's never seen me before

Warhol, monotone
G
Robotic talk
Dm
We're all so smart, we're so perceptive
C G#maj7
But her mouth doesn't move
G
Except to smile
Dm
To be polite, to be receptive
C G#maj7
She burns me with a glance
G
I look away
Dm Dsus4
I'm safely cool, I'm so deceptive
Dm Dsus4
I'd give my right arm for a different situation
Dm Dsus4
I look 'round, I see everybody's watching me
Dm Dsus4 Dm Dsus4 F
I set myself up for this stupid situation
