verse 1 
Cm                                             D 
   So when you gaze at planet earth from outer space 
Gm                                           Cm 
   Does it wipe that stupid look off of your face? 
                               D 
I saw this aura over the battleground states 
       Gm 
I lost some money, lost the keys 
                                Eb         F 
But I'm still handcuffed to the briefcase 
 
        Eb       F 
I never thought,  not in a million years 
Eb         F            Cm 
  That I'??d meet so many lovers 
 
Can I please have my money back? 
   D                       Gm 
My virtual reality mask is stuck on "??Parliament Brawl"?? 
Cm                       D                                    Gm 
  Emergency battery pack just in time for my weekly chat with God on videocall 
 
verse 2 
Cm                                           D 
  Breaking news they take the truth and make it and fluid 
    Gm                                        Cm 
The trainer's explanation was accepted by the steward 
                        D 
Montage of latest hated room 
Gm                                                Eb  F 
Soundtrack by a Chorus of you don't know what you do 
 
 
        Eb       F 
I never thought,   not in a million years 
Eb         F            Cm     D   Gm   
  That I'd meet so many lovers 
 
Bridge 
A               F                           D                        Gm 
  And all of my   most muscular regrets explode behind my eyes like American sports 
 
Eb  F 
 
        Eb       F 
I never thought,   not in a million years 
Eb         F            Cm      D 
  That I'??d meet so many lovers
