Greek Tragedy
Synthesizer intro:
|Abm|E|B|Ebm| 2x
Start guitar:
|Abm|E|B|Ebm| 2x
[Verse 1]
Abm E B
We're smashing mics in karaoke bars
Ebm
You're running late with half your make-up on
Abm E B
This method acting might pay our bills
Ebm
But soon enough they'll be a different role to fill
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Abm
I love this feeling
E
But I hate this part
B
I wanted this to work so much
F#
I drew up our plans on a chart
Abm E
Cars are flipping, I'm in hot pursuit
B Ebm
My character's strong but my head is loose
[Chorus 1]
E B Ebm
She hits like ecstasy
E Dbm
Comes up and bangs the sense out of me
|Abm|E|B|Ebm|
[Verse 2]
Abm E B
The tarot cards say its not so bad
Ebm
And the blades rotate there's just no landing pad
Abm E B
And better have said it but darling you're the best
Ebm
I'm just tired of falling up the Penrose steps
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Abm
I hate this feeling
E
But I love this part
F#
She really wants to make it work
Abm E
And I clearly want to let it start
Abm E
We'll build a water slide
B Ebm
As soon as I get home
[Chorus 2]
E B Ebm
She hits like ecstasy
E Dbm
Comes up and bangs the sense out of me
B F#
It's wrong but surely worse to leave
E B
She hits like ecstasy
Abm
So free up the cheaper seats
Abm
Here comes a Greek tragedy
|Abm|E|B|Ebm| 2x
End on B
