I----- am the dotted line
G# Fm Cm D#
And you fill me in with whatever you like

There's gotta be some old recipe

I gotta forget about some things

I---- lived in lies all my life

When it shows, then you get me on the dial

D# Fm Cm D#
I can't make up for everything I waste

Of anything that your lovely hands make

It eats away with a force so great

Just because it brings a smile to my face

Such a bad memory, you just can't erase

I know of a city to steal from

And say hello all over again

Romance me, take it back to the beginning
