Slowly  she dissolves  me, in waves  of her and leaves  us blurred
 Her flow  just enthrals  me, I drown  in her, she pursues the words
 Warm  rain runs mascara,  I laugh  and say my “billion dollar babe”
 She looks  at me like I’m her  father, then hesitates  and looks  away
 This means  ‘must try harder’
 What you wanna go and do  this for?  Don’t you think it’s all  screwed enough?
 Giving out the keys  to your heart,  now you really gone and blew  that stuff
 You looked  in her eyes, you never wondered  why and your heart’s  gonna die
 and it’s tough.
Concrete  and dry  heat, music  plays from another age,
 I’m back  in my old  street, head over  heels and under-age
 Soft  songs fade slowly, in  and out like a sense of doubt,
 The earth  shifts below  me, and I  forget what I was all about
 There’s feelings  all through  me
 What you wanna go and do  this for?  Don’t you think it’s all  screwed enough?
 Giving out the keys  to your heart,  now you really gone and blew  that stuff
 You looked  in her eyes, you never wondered  why and your heart’s  gonna die
 and it’s tough.
 Feel free to hammer on the G (3rd fret) on the high E when playing C.

[C]Slowly she disso[Fmaj7]lves me, in wa[C]ves of her and leav[G]es us blurred
Her f[C]low just en[Fmaj7]thrals me, I dr[C]own in her, she pursues the wo[G]rds
Wa[C]rm rain runs ma[Fmaj7]scara, I la[C]ugh and say my “billion dollar b[G]abe”
She lo[C]oks at me like I’m h[Fmaj7]er father, then he[C]sitates and lo[G]oks away
This m[Am]eans ‘must try h[D]arder’    [C]
What you wanna go and d[G]o this for?[Am] Don’t you think it’s a[F]ll screwed enough?[C]
Giving out the ke[G]ys to your heart[Am], now you really gone and b[F]lew that stuff
You loo[G]ked in her eyes, you never wo[C]ndered why and your he[F]art’s gonna d[G]ie
and it’s to[C]ugh.

[C]Concrete and [Fmaj7]dry heat, mu[C]sic plays from another a[G]ge,
I’m b[C]ack in my o[Fmaj7]ld street, head o[C]ver heels and under-[G]age
So[C]ft songs fade [Fmaj7]slowly, [C]in and out like a sense of d[G]oubt,
The e[C]arth shifts be[Fmaj7]low me, and [C]I forget what I was all ab[G]out
There’s f[Am]eelings all th[D]rough me   [C]
What you wanna go and d[G]o this for?[Am] Don’t you think it’s a[F]ll screwed enough?[C]
Giving out the ke[G]ys to your heart[Am], now you really gone and b[F]lew that stuff
You loo[G]ked in her eyes, you never wo[C]ndered why and your he[F]art’s gonna d[G]ie
and it’s to[C]ugh.
