(this is Riff A. It's played pretty much every other measure in all the

[Verse]
A D E
Well I woke up in mid-afternoon cause that's when it all hurts the most
(then Riff A twice)
A D E
I dream I never know anyone at the party and I'm always the host
then Riff A twice
C#m D
If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts
(then Riff A twice)
A D
You can never escape, you can only move south down the coast
(then Riff A twice)
all the rest of the verses follow that same pattern.

Well, I am an idiot walking a tightrope of fortune and fame

If you've never stared off in the distance, then your life is a

[Chorus]
C#m D A E
Hey Mrs. Potter don't cry
C#m D A E
Hey Mrs. Potter I know why but
C#m D A
Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me
