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

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