James
View chords used in this chart
A7M
I spent months gazing at him
Sitting cross the hall
F#m
His dark hair, his glasses
Perfect overall
Bm7
He looked so serious
Dm
He was mysterious
A7M
One Tuesday he caught me sneaking in a stare
F#m
He shot me a smile
I nearly tumbled out my chair
Bm7
He said "Who are you? My name is James"
Dm
And that's when I fell into the flames
A7M
Turns out he's a fool
Bm
That James
Dm A7M
Oh, James
A7M Bm
Oh, how I wasted, my days
Dm A7M
Oh, dreaming, dreaming of James
A7M
He said "Do you like museums?"
"They're open late tonight"
F#m
How about we go together
Just you and I
Bm7
And maybe we can have a drink or two
Dm
I'd like to learn about you
A7M
But James thought
It was alright
F#m
To go ahead and talk
About himself all night
Bm7
Then he really felt he had to say
Dm
That he'd be a millionaire one day
A7M
Turns out he's a fool
Bm
That James
Dm A7M
Oh, James
A7M Bm
Oh, how I wasted, my days
Dm A7M
Oh, dreaming, dreaming of James
Bm7
My eyes rolled back to the back of my head
C7
It seemed like the night would never
End
Bm7
At one point I just stopped listening
C7
His voice just became too sickening
