F#m Bm
Head on the wall...
A D
And my piss hardly makes the stall,
A D
And this time it's not an act.
A D
This time I swear it's fact.
F#m Bm
Now I ramble on,
A D
About that girl who's gone;
A D
And I tried teaching her guitar,
A D
Now she's standing at the bar.
Bm
She tells me her favourite song,
D
And I say, "Yeah, that's a good one..."
Bm
She says it follows her around.
D Move up two frets and strum once
No shit, it's by the Beatles.
F# C#m
I'm so lost,
G#m
And I live just around the corner.

F#m Bm
Adam's in love again.
A D
And the good Rev wants to jam instead.
A D
Morgan's hearing none of it.
A D
She says we're doing it again.
F#m Bm
The neighbourhood's up in arms.
A D
They're trying to shut down all the bars
A D
When everyone's a private eye
A D
They're hiding in the bushes every night.
Bm
The cats square off in the street,
D
The dogs go through the garbage.
Bm
You wanna stay for the night tonight?
D D then slide up two frets strum once
Well I know all about platonic, honey.
F# C#m
I'm so lost,
G#m
And I live just around the corner.
