Chords

Note: For the D/F# chord (optional), use the normal D shape chord but use the E string on the second fret (relative to capo) for a more prominent bass line [Intro] Em7 Cadd9 G D/F# [Verse]

 Em7            Cadd9               G
We're smashing mics in karaoke bars

                   D/F#
You're running late with half your makeup on

Em7             Cadd9                G
This method acting might pay our bills

               D/F#
But soon enough they'll be a different role to fill

[Bridge]

Am
I love this feeling

G
But I hate this part

D/F#
I wanted this to work so much

I drew up our plans on a chart

Em7              Cadd9
Cars are flipping, I'm in hot pursuit

G                    D/F#
My character's strong, but my head is loose

[Chorus]

Cadd9                  G    D/F#
She hits like ecstasy 

            Cadd9           Am
Comes up and bangs the sense out of me

[Instrumental] Em7, Cadd9, G, D/F# [Verse]

Em7           Cadd9
The tarot cards say it's not so bad

G                    D/F#
And the blades rotate, there's just no landing pad

Em7                   Cadd9
And I better have said it, but darling you're the best

G                 D/F#
I'm just tired of falling up the penrose steps

[Bridge]

Am
I hate this feeling

G
But I love this part

D/F#
She really wants to make it work

And I clearly want to let it start

Am
We'll build a waterslide

G               D/F#
As soon as I get home

[Chorus]

           Cadd9              G    D/F#
Oh and she hits like ecstasy  

            Cadd9              Am
Comes up and bangs the sense out of me

    Em                 D/F#
It's wrong, but surely worse to leave

        Cadd9     Am
And she hits like ecstasy

[Coda] (Palm mute G for the build up) So free up the cheaper seats Here comes a Greek Tragedy [Outro] Em7 Cadd9 G D/F#
