[Intro]
| A E | G D | F# | F# | 2x

[Verse 1]
A                   E
The college years were lean, well
G            D                       F#
Coming out but maybe not so clean, my love
A             E
And if I stay much longer
G                  D                              F#
My feelings for you, they might get much stronger now
A         E
A Motorola coma
G                 D                F#
Sleep your way into a deep diploma, girl
A           E
At the dormitory
G                   D                         F#
You come to pour me one of your best stories, girl

[Chorus]
           B                                 F#
And I feel your face getting wet
               B                     F#
Like the color red of roulette
           G                        D
And I place my losing bet
                E
On your side
           B                           F#
And I see your eyes of regret
              B                                F#
But you gave as good as you get
               A                         E
Like the Massachusetts threat
                F#
Running wild

[Verse 2]
A              E
A pair of dirty jeans, well
G                D                         F#
You would wash inside my brass machine, that's good
A           E
Laying on your mattress
G                D                            F#
A thing of beauty, we would need more practice now
A               E
Hall and Oates were singing
G                D                                F#
The funny notes that you were always bringing, girl
A       E
An elevator's closing
G            D                          F#
Hard to hide when love is so exposing

[Chorus]
           B                                 F#
And I feel your face getting wet
              B                        F#
Like the color red of roulette
          G                         D
And I place my losing bet
               E
On your side
          B                              F#
And I see your eyes of regret
              B                                F#
But you gave as good as you get
                A                        E
Like the Massachusetts threat
               F#
Running wild

[Bridge]
D              A/C#
When I drove her
D            A/C#
To Villanova
D                    A/C#         F#m     E
Light me up when you decide
D                 A/C#
The stark aroma
D                 A/C#
Of your Tacoma
D                 A/C#           F#m    E
A tiny box where we reside
D             A/C#
Battle tested
D               A/C#
A life invested
D          A/C#           F#m   E
Duly noted and denied
D           A/C#
Fully loaded
D               A/C#
Space encoded
D             A/C#                  F#m    E
A quiet night out in the sky

[Outro]
A                     E
Your stack of lies was daunting
G              D                           F#
A tribute to your mind, but way more haunting now
A                E
A talking psycho killer
G                    D                      F#
Betrayed the heads of even Henry Miller now
A              E
Conspiracy's a theory
G              D                          F#
I wonder, Tim, if this could be your Leary, love
A                     E
She acts like Marlon Brando
G        D                          F#
Born online inside the San Fernando
