Capo 7
Em
In this recognizable smell of cigarettes and perfume
Am
And all those plastic-minded beats
Em
Are a madcap explosion and a psychedelic celebration of
Am Em
An animated youth
Em Am
It's the senior age
Em Am
Dancing on the teen stage
Em
It's the field of dreams
Am
Runnin' in the bloodstreams
D Em
But I only dream of you...
Em
'Cause I kept it steady
Am D
But you kicked me hard and I had to change my ways;
Em
Sneaking up on me like a cheetah;
Am
Disillusioned girl
D Em
Keep your eyes straight through me
A G
Heavy eyes
(and repeat for the rest of the song)
Mmm...
So capturing the essence of a whole lot of fun
In a bottle and a beat – feeling perfectly wrong –
Got extensions in the stop
Fallin' madly in love with the pop
Maybe we got it all right
Theres a scent in the air...
Got some true romance right here
Theres a filthy beam
Going from the mainstream
And I only dream of you
'Cause I kept it steady
But you kicked me hard and i had to change my ways
Sneaking up on me like a cheetah;
Disillusioned girl
Keep your eyes straight through me
Heavy eyes
Straight through me
Heavy eyes
