progression, the F can be a Dm as well, they both sound right to me. And the
change from the G to C is quick, but if you know the song, you should understand what I mean
x2
To be lost in the forest
To be cut adrift
You've been trying to reach me
You bought me a book
To be lost in the forest
To be cut adrift
I've been paid
I've been paid
Don't get offended
If I seem absent minded
Just keep telling me facts
And keep making me smile
Don't get offended
If I seem absent minded
I get tongue-tied
Baby, you've got to be more discerning
I've known never known what's good for me
Baby you've got to be more demanding
I will be yours
x2):
I'll pay for you Anytime
You told me you wanted to eat up my sadness
Well jump on, enjoy, you can gorge away
You told me you wanted to eat up my sadness
Jump right on
Baby, you've got to be more discerning
I've known never known what's good for me
Baby, you've got to be more demanding
What are you Holding out for
What's always In the way
Why so damn Absent-minded?
Why so scared Of romance
x2
This modern love
breaks me
This modern love
wastes me
Do you wanna come over and kill some time?
Do you wanna come over and kill some time?
Do you wanna come over and kill some time?
Throw your arms around me
