Gm
Well, guy in a skeleton costume
Bb Eb
Comes up to the guy in the Superman suit
Gm
Runs through him with a broadsword

I flipped the television off
Bb Eb
Bring all the bright lights up
Gm
Turn the radio up loud
C
I don't know why I'm so persuaded
F
That if I think things through
Eb
Long enough and hard enough
D
I'll somehow get to you
Gm
But then you came in and we locked eyes
C
You kicked the ashtray over as we came toward each other
Eb
Stubbed my cigarette out against the west wall
D
And quickly lit another
Gm
Look at that

Would you look at that?
C
We're throwing off sparks
Gm F C Gm
What will I do when I don't have you
Bb Gm
To hold onto in the dark?

Gm
Yes, everybody's gonna need a witness
Bb Eb
Everybody's gonna need a little back up
Gm
In case the scene gets nasty

You throw the attic window open
Bb Eb
And I throw myself all around you
Gm
And night comes to Tallahassee
C F
I don't know why it's gotten harder to keep myself away
Eb
Thought I'd finally beat the feeling back
D
It all came back today
Gm
And then we fell down and we locked arms
C
We knocked the dresser over as we rolled across the floor
Eb
I don't mean it when I tell you
D
That I don't love you anymore
Gm
Look at that

Would you look at that?
C
The way the ceiling starts to swerve
Gm F C Gm
What will I do when I don't have you
Bb
When I finally get what I deserve?

Gm
