[Verse 1]
Am7
A big town
G F
Synthetic apparitions of not being lonely
Am7
"Look! He's having a breakdown
G F
Oh what a let down, a shame, I think he might die!"
Am7 G F
She's dancing enthralling, I guess I gotta wait my turn
Am7
I said, "Don't fall in love with the moment"
G F
She said I've got a lot to learn

[Verse 2]
Am7 G F
She's inducing sleep to avoid pain
Am7 G F
And I think she's got a gun divinely decreed and custom made
Am7 G F
She calls on the phone like the old days, expecting the world
Am7
Don't fall in love with the moment
G F
And think you're in love with the girl
[Pre-Chorus 2]

Well, your face has got a hold on me

But your brain is proper weird
Am F
Are you feeling the same?

You just keep nodding at me looking vacant
F G Am ...
[Chorus]
