[Verse 1]
 EmI hold on so nervously
To F#me and my drink
I wish it was cooling Emme
But so far, has not been good
It’s F#been shitty
And I feel awkward, as I should
 EmThis club has got to be
The most F#pretentious thing
Since I thought you and me
 EmWell I am imagining
A Emdark lit place
GOr your place or my place
[Chorus]
 Well I’m Emnot paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
 AI want to make you move
 GBecause you’re standing still
 EmIf your body matches
What your eyes can do
 AYou’ll probably move right through
 GMe on my way to youEm  
[Verse 2]
 EmI hold out for one more drink
Before F#I think
I’m looking too desperately
 EmBut so far has not been fun
I F#should just stay home
If one thing really means one
 EmThis club will hopefully
Be F#closed in three weeks
That would be cool with me
 EmWell I’m still imagining
A Emdark lit place
Or your place or my place
[Chorus]
 Well I’m Emnot paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
 AI want to make you move
 GBecause you’re standing still

[Verse 1]

I hold on so nervously

To me and my drink

I wish it was cooling me

But so far, has not been good

It’s been shitty

And I feel awkward, as I should

This club has got to be

The most pretentious thing

Since I thought you and me

Well I am imagining

A dark lit place

Or your place or my place

[Chorus]

Well I’m not paralyzed

But, I seem to be struck by you

I want to make you move

Because you’re standing still

If your body matches

What your eyes can do

You’ll probably move right through

G Em

Me on my way to you

[Verse 2]

I hold out for one more drink

Before I think

I’m looking too desperately

But so far has not been fun

I should just stay home

If one thing really means one

This club will hopefully

Be closed in three weeks

That would be cool with me

Well I’m still imagining

A dark lit place

Or your place or my place

[Chorus]

Well I’m not paralyzed

But, I seem to be struck by you

I want to make you move

Because you’re standing still

If your body matches

What your eyes can do

You’ll probably move right through

G Em

Me on my way to you

[Chorus]

Well I’m not paralyzed

But, I seem to be struck by you

I want to make you move

Because you’re standing still

If your body matches

What your eyes can do

You’ll probably move right through

G Em

Me on my way to you

[Chorus]

Well I’m not paralyzed

But, I seem to be struck by you

I want to make you move

Because you’re standing still

If your body matches

What your eyes can do

You’ll probably move right through

G Em

Me on my way to you

[Outro]

You’ll probably move right through

G Em

Me on my way to you

You’ll probably move right through

G Em

Me on my way to you
