A A/D
If you talk to Mary, please don't look at me
C#m7 A/D
Cause she's never seen me before
Amaj7
Don't call attention to the
B7
Man outside of me
C#m7 A/D
Cause she can cut my head off with the blinking of her eye, and I'm not
D
Supposed to be here, and I'm
Bm
Too young to die
B7sus2 F#7sus2

B7sus2 F#7sus2
Bouncing like a pinball in between extremes
[Chorus]

And she's never seen me before
[Verse]
A A/D
So if you talk to Mary, please don't mention me
C#m7 A/D
Cause she's never seen me before
Amaj7
Just let me hide behind the
B7
Smoke and pleasantries
C#m7 A/D

D hole right through me to a shadow on the wall, 'till I'm sick

Of my surroundings while I'm not here at all

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

A Fmaj7
Warhol, monotone
E
Robotic talk
Bm
We're all so smart, we're so perceptive
A Fmaj7
But her mouth doesn't move
E
Except to smile
Bm
To be polite, to be receptive
A Fmaj7
She burns me with a glance
E
I look away
Bm Bsus4
I'm safely cool, I'm so deceptive
Bm Bsus4
I'd give my right arm for a different situation
Bm Bsus4
I look 'round, I see everybody's watching me
Bm Bsus4 Bm Bsus4 D
I set myself up for this stupid situation
