A5                             Bb5               C5
You have to do it running but you'll do everything that they ask you to
                                       A5
Cause you don?t mind seeing yourself in a picture
Bb5                   C5
As long as you look faraway, as long as you look removed
A5                  Bb5      C5
Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
A5                  Bb5      C5
Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters

D5                         F5
You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
        Bb5                         F5                   Bb5
When you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery citibank lights
       F5              A5               A5
Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under
G5                               F5
Well you wouldn?t want an angel watching over
Bb5                               F5
Surprise, surprise they wouldn?t wanna watch
Bb5                   F5                    A5                A5
Another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults

Make up something to believe in your heart of hearts
So you have something to wear on your sleeve of sleeves
So you swear you just saw a feathery woman
Carry a blindfolded man through the trees
Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
When you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery citibank lights
Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under
Oh you wouldn?t want an angel watching over
Surprise, surprise they wouldn?t wanna watch
Another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
When you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery citibank lights
Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under
Oh you wouldn?t want an angel watching over
Surprise, surprise they wouldn?t wanna watch
Another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults
