If you talk to Mary, please don't look at me
Cm7 G#/C#
Cause she's never seen me before
G#maj7

C#
Supposed to be here, and I'm
A#m
Too young to die

Cm7 G#/C#
Cause she's never seen me before

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

Of my surroundings while I'm not here at all

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

Warhol, monotone

Robotic talk
A#m
We're all so smart, we're so perceptive
G# Emaj7
But her mouth doesn't move
D#
Except to smile
A#m
To be polite, to be receptive
G# Emaj7
She burns me with a glance
D#
I look away
A#m A#sus4
I'm safely cool, I'm so deceptive
A#m A#sus4
I'd give my right arm for a different situation
A#m A#sus4

A#m A#sus4 A#m A#sus4 C#
I set myself up for this stupid situation
