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

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