intro: G

G                    C
I am drunk and on a ladder
Em                        D
Not the smartest way to start my night
Em                     D
You said I'd conquer my vertigo
            C               D               G
That was a lie, that was a lie, that was a lie

 G                          C
And when we got up to the roof
    G                         D
You opened a little flask of gin
     Em                     D
Like idiots we both fell asleep there
C                D            G
      Until the sun came up again

C                        D
I do the dumbest things for you
C                               Em        D
      Why do I do the dumbest things for you?
C                               Em
      I almost broke my collar bone
Dsus4                             D                             G
     I didn't care, you were the most exciting thing I'd ever known.

G                              C
      We both went out to the party
G                                 D
      Down a long, great western road
Em                                D  
      You told the drunks I knew karate
            C               D               G
That was a lie, that was a lie, that was a lie

G                                      C
      They chased us through the city center
G                                     D            
      They chased us out to the east end
Em                             D
      We had to hide behind the supermarket
C                D            G
      Until the sun came up again

C                                  D
      I do the dumbest things for you
C                            Em           D
      Why do I do the dumbest things for you?
C                            Em
      I would be safer on my own
Dsus4                             D                             G
     I didn't care, you were the most exciting thing I'd ever known.

G                                      C
      And we just missed the last bus home
Em                   
      So we walked it fueled by adrenaline
Em                            D
      And when I said I could do it all again
            C               D               G
That was a lie, that was a lie, that was a lie

G                                    C
      Your plans to make it big and conquer
G                             D
      Would put Napoleon to shame
Em                          C
      I'm in a coma on the sofa
C                D              G
      Until the sun goes down again

C                                  D
      I do the dumbest things for you
C                               Em        D
      Why do I do the dumbest things for you?
C                            Em
      I would be safer on my own
Dsus4                             D                             G
     I didn't care, you were the most exciting thing I'd ever known.

C                                  D
      I do the dumbest things for you
C                               Em        D
      Why do I do the dumbest things for you?
C                           Em
     I would be safer on my own
Dsus4                             D                             G
     I didn't care, you were the most exciting thing I'd ever known.
