E              Emaj7        C#m7         Amaj9
Can't get your name past my lips like a slur

       E           Emaj7         C#m7     Amaj9
And I think I'm in love with the idea of her

E          Emaj7   E9/D    Amaj9
Lie in the morning aurora

     E         Emaj7    E9/A    Amaj9
What time is it in California?
[Verse 1]
C#m7        C#m7/C            C#m7/B
Throwing up brains through my mouth

          C#m7/A#      Amaj9          E9/D        Amaj9
Yeah, I'm thinking out loud things we won't talk about

C#m7         C#m7/C       C#m7/B       C#m7/A#     Amaj7
Remember the time that we snuck in her house?

           E9/D     Amaj9
They don't want me around, but
[Chorus]
  E              Emaj7        C#m7        Amaj9
I can't get your name past my lips like a slur

      E            Emaj7         C#m7    Amaj9
And I think I'm in love with the idea of her

E         Emaj7     E9/D    Amaj9
Cry like annoying cicada

     E          Emaj7   E9/A    Amaj9
What time is it in California?

[Verse 2]
  C#m7    C#m7/C        C#m7/B     C#m7/A#
GMT minus eight and I'm staying up late

          Amaj9      E9/D        Amaj9
With your face in my head like a drone

   C#m7         C#m7/C       C#m7/B   C#m7/A#  Amaj9
If I don't want anyone, then why do I feel so alone?

           E9/D       Amaj9
I'll reach out if you don't 'cause
[Chorus]
  E              Emaj7        C#m7        Amaj9
I can't gеt your name past my lips like a slur

And I think I'm in love with thе idea of her

E          Emaj7     E9/D    Amaj9
Lie in the morning aurora

     E          Emaj7  E9/A    Amaj9

E              Emaj7        C#m7        Amaj9
Can't get your name past my lips like a slur
