intro: |  C| (x2)
|  C|  Dm|  Em|  F| (x2)
Close your eyes, take your time
There's a bad night on the rise
And so we take one step aside
There's a bad night on the rise
|  Dm|  G|  Dm|  G| (x2)
Nervous Girl who plays your parents
Staring down at me
My Dad will soon be home from work
It's August in this dream
|  C|  G|  Dm|  Dm| (x4)
But I hope they know me
And I hope they see me
I just keep hanging round, La da da da da, da da da da
I just keeping hanging round, La da da da da da da da da
interlude: |  G| x8
|  C|  Dm|  Em|  F| (x2)
I could start with just one line
Make my walls to piece tonight
But friends keep calling in my head
Yeah friends keep calling in my head
|  Dm|  G|  Dm|  G| (x2)
Nervous Girl who plays your parents
Staring down at me
Nothing here has any value
Nothing here is real
|  C|  G|  Dm|  Dm| (x4)
But I hope I know you
And I hope I see you
Just keep hanging round, La da da da da, da da da 
I just keep hanging round, La da da da da da da da 
outro: |  G| x8
