[Intro]
E           G#/B# C#m  A        Asus2  A  Asus2 A   Asus2
I'll figure out   to - night what it     is I     need to

E       G#/B# C#m  A   Asus2 A  Asus2 A    Asus2
do. Fabricate a    lie and  re--lay it    back to

E    G#/B# C#m  A          Asus2 A  Asus2
you. In     my head it's only    letters

E  G#/B#  C#m     A            Asus2  A  Asus2
   Make it make sense to make it     better
[Interlude] (Mmmm) 4x's [Verse 1]
E     G#/B# C#m    A          Asus2  A Asus2 A  Asus2
It's a per-fect  time to put my     money   in my

E           G#/B# C#m  A          Asus2 A  Asus2 A  Asus2
mouth. Chew  it    up and spit it di - rectly    on the

E      G#/B#  C#m  A           Asus2 A   Asus2
ground. Make  some plans I'll never   get to

E G#/B# C#m    A       Asus2 A  Asus2
  Shake some hands at the   venue
[Interlude] (Mmmm) 4x's [Chorus]
E         G#/B#  C#m
  Sittin' in   a telescope

F#       B7
   Silently with his fingers en-

C#m7               C#m7
twined. He puts his hand    to the

F#                B7
glass. What's it like out-
[Interlude] (Mmmm) 4x's [Verse 2] Picking
E                        A
  Through the lens, it's dark, single-digit on the

E                     A
clock. Singing, "Yessiree, I sure like-a you a

E           A
lot". All I need is to get her

E            A
   She'll be happy if you let her
[Interlude] (Mmmm) 4x's [Chorus]
E         G#/B#  C#m
  Sittin' in   a telescope

F#       B7
   Silently with his fingers en-

C#m7               C#m7
twined. He puts his hand    to the

F#               B7
glass. What's it like out-

E      G#/B# C#m
side

F#           B7
   What's it like out-

E     G#/B# C#m
side
[Outro]
F#               B7         E
   Oh, what's it like outside?
