Intro:  Bb   F/A   Gm    F/A   Bb   F/A   Gm  C/E  
I gave the gFirls the eye, I've given lBbust a try
                                   C    F-    Am  
I'm just an average guy, (from the neck on down)
I used to haFve my fun, when all was saBbid and done
                                 C    F-    Am  
I only wanted someone, (from the neck on down)
MBmaybe it's one too many mBbornings after, or Bmmaybe I'm sick of my own nBbervous laughter
Now I'm lBbooking for hF/Aeaven, (from the Gmneck on F/Aup), for a pBberfect eF/Aleven (From the Gmneck on C/Eup)
I was a tFypical man, I had a mBbaster plan
                                       C    F-    Am  
I thought that heaven began, (from the waist on down)
And I had aFlways said, that I could uBbse my head
                                       C    F-    Am  
But I was thinking instead, (from the waist on down)
MBmaybe it's one too many fBbrozen shoulders or, mBmaybe I haven't noticed gBbetting older
But I'm lBbooking for hF/Aeaven, (from the Gmneck on F/Aup), for a pBberfect eF/Aleven (From the Gmneck on Fup)
BbTrapped in a dream, something has to change in this endless stream
Of sEbhips that pass in the Eb/Gnight, Cmis this what I wDbant out of life?
BI want to know what this Gb/Bbgame is about, EmI want someone to try and fAigure me out
So I'm lBbooking for hF/Aeaven, (from the Gmneck on F/Aup), for a pBberfect eF/Aleven (From the nGmeck on C/Eup)
I can't detFermine why, but I'm a dBbifferent guy
                                C    F-  Am  
Your modus operandi, (turned me inside out)
It's not that FI don't care, about your fBbine hardware
                                              C    F-  Am  
But you've got something else there, (I can't figure out)
MBmaybe I just can't finish wBbhat I've started or, mBmaybe it's simply that I've bBbeen outsmarted
Now I've fBbound my F/Aheaven, (from the nGmeck on F/Aup), you're a pBberfect eF/Aleven, (from the nGmeck on F/Aup)
Now I've fBbound my F/Aheaven, (from the nGmeck on F/Aup), you're a pBberfect eF/Aleven, (from the nGmeck on F/Aup)
(repeat and fade)
