Verse 1
(D major) (A major) (G major) Neur (D major) otic intellectual
(E minor) Emotionally unavailable
You're (D major) everything you think (A major)
you should be (G major)
But the truth (D major) is unavoidable
And (E minor) every choice intentional
(D major) Darling, I don't (A major) mean to be mean (G major)
But (D major) you're see- through
as see- (A major) through can be (G major)
And when the party (E minor) ends,
you're sweating (G major) in sheet (A major) s
The (D major) city
Verse 2
has left (G minor) you alone (D major)
You cycle on fast- for (G major) ward through
The strangers (A major) in your phone
And you re- (D major) record your voice (F sharp minor) mail (D major)
Find (F sharp minor) that perfect (F sharp major) (B flatdim) hol
(F sharp minor) low (B minor) tone:
"Hey, you've reached (D major) me,
but what does that (G major) mean?
I don't know."
(D major)

Verse 3
(A major) (G major)
So (D major) run your risk and play your part
(E minor) Hide away your hardened heart
And (D major) tuck yourself back (A major) into your shell (G major)
But is (D major) all that detached irony
That (E minor) finely tuned delivery
(D major) Hurting more than (A major) it's ever
helped? (G major)
Are you fooling (D major) anyone (A major) but yourself?
(G major) Well, you're (E minor) the only
(G major) one who can tell
(A major)
Verse 4
Because the city (D major) has left (G minor) you alone (D major)
In a Chelsea bar at clos (G major) ing time
Too (A major) wired to go home
When a street (D major) shark with
a song (F sharp minor) bird rap
And a (F sharp major) rep (A major) er tory (F sharp minor) brogue (B minor)
Slurs, c' (D major) mon love. There ain't (G major)
no secret code. (B minor) (D major) (E major)
Are you think (D major) ing what I'm think (G major) in',
yes or no? (B minor) (D major) (E major)
Leave the (D major) mourning for the morn (G major) in',
love. Let's (D major) go.

Verse 5
You're (G major) acting out the dead (A major)
end of a theme (B minor) (D major) (A major)
A cliche (G major) in a round (A major) about
An (B minor) other person's dream (D major) (A major)
It (G major) makes romantic copy (A major) but
it's not (B minor) a life to lead (D major) (A major) (B minor)
(A major) So
Verse 6
(D major) roll your eyes and suck (A major)
on (D major) your teeth (G major)
No, you (D major) don't need to
prove (A major) nothin' to me (G major)
But you're the (E minor) only one who
(F sharp minor) knows what (G major) you need
Verse 7
(A major) The city (D major) has (G minor) left you alone (D major)
Squinting at an (G major) address
With a car (A major) service on hold
You keep wait (D major) ing on redemption,
(F sharp minor) But isn't waiting getting old?
You (B minor) shut (E minor) your eyes
The (G major) city clears its throat (A major) (A major)
"On with (D major) the show."
