Chords

[Intro] Am Am/G# Fmaj7 F6 Fm(maj7) [Verse 1]
C
  Beauty is a drug

        F         G            C   Dm G
And it's coursing through my veins

C                               F
  I sit at home staring at your picture

         G             C                  Dm G
While my colleagues discuss capital gains
[Pre-Chorus]
F                             G
  This love's just a cloud of cigarette smoke

      C                       F
Blows away on the wind but it stays in your throat

        Dm                     F            G  G7
And the coughing is worse than ever these days
[Verse 2]
C
  You walk into the room

     F           G       C Dm G
And I can't look up at you

C                               F
  All my concentrated efforts added up

         G         C                 Dm G
To one big thing I never meant to do
[Pre-Chorus]
F                                 F
  My heart's been misfiled by the U.S. Postal Service

        C                                F
All these people with their expectations make me so nervous

Dm                           F                     G
People like them could never be like people like you
[Chorus]
           C           Dm       G            C
You're too bright for me, I'm too dumb for you

       Am      Em       F             G
In the night I see your face in the moon

       G7    C       Dm          G                    C
You're the one who stands rock-solid in the shifting sands

           Am       F           G
And I'm a bad, bad man with a place in my heart for you
[Verse 3]
C
  I got to the place

     F        G          C   Dm G
Where secret things are sold

C
  Thunder in the distance

       F                 G        C         Dm G
And it sounds like it's a million years old
[Pre-Chorus]
F                           G
  I see your hair like a waterfall falling

     C                           F
Feel like a lone drunk in the parking lot, bawling

     Am/E  Dm                      F                   G   G7
And I     don't know how this house got so incredibly cold
[Verse 4]
C
  I can't explain it

   F         G      C    Dm G
And nobody cares to know

C                         F
  Long-dead women call my name

        G          C      Dm G
From deep inside my radio
[Pre-Chorus]
F                        G
  I sat surrounded by my money and my glory

  C                             F
Numbly re-telling my little pointless life story

        Dm                                     G   G7
And the chandeliers winked as if to say, "We know"
[Bridge]
Am             E
   And I've confessed all my sins

F                       C           E   Am
  I'm just the type who never ever wins

     E                      F         G
And I pray to God every weekend I fit in

Am                 E
   And I've kept you waiting so long

    F                                      C            E   Am
But everything's gonna be different when I finish this song

               E
And I know myself better than anyone

F                 G       G7
  Who's to say I'm wrong?
[Chorus]
           C           Dm       G            C
You're too bright for me, I'm too dumb for you

       Am      Em       F             G
In the night I see your face in the moon

            C       Dm          G                     C
You're the one who stands rock-solid in the shifting sands

           Am       F           G
And I'm a bad, bad man with a place in my heart for you
