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

Morgan's hearing none of it.
D# G#
She says we're doing it again.

The neighbourhood's up in arms.
D# G#
They're trying to shut down all the bars
D# G#
When everyone's a private eye
D# G#
They're hiding in the bushes every night.
Fm
The cats square off in the street,
G#
The dogs go through the garbage.
Fm
You wanna stay for the night tonight?
G# G# then slide up two frets strum once
Well I know all about platonic, honey.
