You sauntered up and you said how’s tricks

You got me drowned with politics

we took and talked and lost the plot

and after that everything seemed fine

And it’s distinct, how people collide

We drag each other’s worlds down under the tide

With intoxicated hands

Cold, cold hearts and well-laid plans

Em G Em G

Are you listening? are you listening?

A7 C D

As the days, like the waves, pile up behind you

G Am

Ahhh lalala you keep it on

G Am

Melt my plastic heart and help me move on

G Am

Why can't i move on?

How do you escape the grey veils at point range?

Go to a foreign island or a house in Spain, going

Laladadada

Oh how I’d kill to go

Wreck the girders and rivets in

A life of buildings and medicines

Ah we all make the same mistakes

Our pitfalls pull us together

Em G Em G

Are you listening? are you listening?

A7 C D

As the days, like the waves, pile up behind me

G Am

Ahhh lalala you keep it on

G Am

Melt my plastic heart and help me move on

Am C B

C D Em

We kick this round my bedroom form

????????????????????????????

C D Em

But the time, in sight? drift'itaway?

Em G Em G

Are you listening? are you listening?

A7 C D

As the days, like the waves, decisively pull us under.

G Am

Ahhh lalala you keep it on

G Am

Melt my plastic heart and help me move on

G Am

lalala you keep it on

G Am

Melt my plastic heart and help me move on

Friends for life and acquaintances

Romance and great distances

There’s been so many casualties

But i cannot wallow with these

Ohh no.
