C Em
Well summer slipped us underneath her tongue
F Am
Our days and nights are perfumed with obsession
G
Half of my wardrobe is on your bedroom floor
Use our eyes, throw our hands overboard
C Em
I am your sweetheart, psychopathic crush
F Am
Drink up your movements, still I can't get enough
G
I overthink your p-punctuation use
Not my fault, just a thing that my mind do
[Chorus 1]
F G Am
A ru-u-u-ush at the beginning
F G Am
I get caught u-u-u-up, just for a minute
F G Am
But lover, you're the one to blame, all that you're doing, can you hear the violence?
F G Am
Megapho-o-o-one to my chest
N.C.
Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom and make 'em all dance to it
E
Every night, I live and die
G#m
Feel the party to my bones
C#m
Watch the wasters blow the speakers, spill my guts beneath the outdoor light
B
It's just another graceless night
E
I hate the headlines and the weather
G#m
I'm nineteen and I'm on fire
C#m
But when we're dancing, I'm alright
B
It's just another graceless night
Let's let things come out of the woodwork
Gm
I'll be on my best side, tell you all my best lies
A#
Yeah, awesome right?
Cm
So let's let things come out of the woodwork
Gm
I'll be on my best side, tell you all my best lies
A#
Seeing me rolling showing someone else love, dancing with my shoes off
Know I think you're awesome right?
Am
In your car, the radio up
Am
In your car, the radio up
F
We keep trying to talk about us
F
I'm someone you maybe might love
Am
I'll be your quiet afternoon crush
G
Be your violent overnight rush
F
Make you crazy over my touch
Db
Baby really hurt me
Fm
crying in the taxi
Bbm
He don't wanna know me
Fm Gb Bbm
says you make the big mistake of dancing in my storm
Ebm Ab
Says it was poison
Db
So I guess I go home
Fm Bbm
into the arms of the girl that I love
Fm
the only love I haven't screwed up
Gb Bbm
She's so hard to please
Ebm Ab
but she's a forest fire
Db
I do my best to meet her demands
Fm
play it romance
Bbm
we slow dance in the living room
Fm Gb
but all that a stranger would see
Bbm Ebm Ab
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek
D C
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
D C
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
D C
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
D C G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
G Am Em
I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
Am Em D
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
G Am Em
But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
Am Em D
I'll find a way to be without you, babe
'Cause honey I'll come get my things but I can't let go
(I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it)
G D A
Oh I wish I could get my things and just let go
(I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it)
E G#m F#
Oh God, I'm clean out of air in my lungs, it's all gone
F# E
Played it so nonchalant, it's time we danced with the truth
G#m F# F#
Move along with the truth, ooh-ooh (hey)
E G#m F#
We're sleeping through all the days, I'm acting like I don't see
F# E
Every ribbon you used to tie yourself to me
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G#m
But my hips have missed your hips, so let's get to know the kicks
F#
Will you sway with me, go astray with me?
[Chorus]
G#m B
We told you this was melodrama
F# E
Oh how fast the evening passes, cleaning up the champagne glasses
G#m B
Our only wish is melodrama
F# E
Oh how fast the evening passes, cleaning up the champagne glasses
B E
Please could you be tender and I will sit close to you
G#m E
Let's give it a minute before we admit that we're through
B E
Guess this is the winner, our bodies are young and blue
G#m E
I'm at Jungle City, it's late and this song is for you
B
Cause I remember the rush, when forever was us
E
Before all of the winds of regret and mistrust
G#m
Now we sit in your car and our love is a ghost
E
Well I guess I should go, yeah I guess I should go
E C#m
Bet you wanna rip my heart out
A
Bet you wanna skip my calls now
B E
Well guess what, I like that
C#m
'Cause I'm gonna mess your life up
A
Gonna wanna tape my mouth shut
B
Look out, lovers
[Chorus 1]
E C#m
We're l-o-v-e-l-e-s-s generation
A B E
L-o-v-e-l-e-s-s generation
C#m A B
All fuckin' with our lover's heads, generation
[Intro]
F C F
I'm a liability
Am F
I'm a liability, much for me
Am F
You're a little much for me, no-no-no, no
G (C)
Whatcha gonna do, whoa-oh-oh
[Verse 1]
C F
All of the dreams that get harder
Am F
All of the things that I offer you, eh
Am F
And all of the shit that we harbour
G
Make all of the kids in the choirs sing woo-hoo, hoo-hoo
[Verse 2]
C F
Maybe all this is the party
Am F
Maybe the tears and the highs we breathe, oh no
Am F
Maybe all this is the party
G
Maybe we just do it violently
[Outro]
C F Am F
But you're not what you thought you were
Am F C G
But you're not what you thought you were
C F Am F
But you're not what you thought you were
Am F C G
But you're not what you thought you were
N.C.
