C               Fmaj7         C                  G
Slowly she dissolves me, in waves of her and leaves us blurred
     C          Fmaj7          C                             G
Her flow just enthrals me, I drown in her, she pursues the words
  C              Fmaj7      C                               G
Warm rain runs mascara, I laugh and say my “billion dollar babe”
      C                   Fmaj7             C             G
She looks at me like I’m her father, then hesitates and looks away
      Am              D         C
This means ‘must try harder’
                       G          Am                     F                 C
What you wanna go and do this for? Don’t you think it’s all screwed enough?
                 G               Am                         F
Giving out the keys to your heart, now you really gone and blew that stuff
       G                            C                     F            G
You looked in her eyes, you never wondered why and your heart’s gonna die
           C
and it’s tough.

C            Fmaj7       C                       G
Concrete and dry heat, music plays from another age,
     C          Fmaj7            C                   G
I’m back in my old street, head over heels and under-age
  C             Fmaj7   C                           G
Soft songs fade slowly, in and out like a sense of doubt,
     C             Fmaj7       C                         G
The earth shifts below me, and I forget what I was all about
         Am            D          C
There’s feelings all through me
                       G          Am                     F                 C
What you wanna go and do this for? Don’t you think it’s all screwed enough?
                 G               Am                         F
Giving out the keys to your heart, now you really gone and blew that stuff
       G                            C                     F            G
You looked in her eyes, you never wondered why and your heart’s gonna die
           C
and it’s tough.

Feel free to hammer on the G (3rd fret) on the high E when playing C.
