Stupid Song
View chords used in this chart
[Verse 1]
B
New York City's never looked so blue
Bsus4
My friends are smoking blunts in the bathroom
B Bsus4 F#
They say that honest love is a cage that makes you feel free
B
And all the girls at this party are so cool
Bsus4
That's never been a thing that I could do
B Bsus4 B F#
But I can't help but imagine what you say when you speak with me
[Chorus]
G#m E
You're a spark in the dark and my clothes all caught aflame
C#m
You should feel how I feel when somebody says your name
F#
I'm a car speeding down the boulevard without a brake
B
And I want you more than any stupid song could ever say
E
I'm a heart made of wax and I'm melting in the sun
C#m
I'm a thread on your shirt that is coming undone
F#
I feel right, I feel wrong, I feel totally insane
N.C. B
And I want you more than any stupid song could ever say
[Verse 2]
B
Walking through the park with my head high
E
Past all the college girls and the drunk guys
B E
And if there is a god, he's the bond that's between us two
B
Seven nights alone and a skipped meal
E
I'm sleeping in my dress and my high heels
B E
And I'm too shy to say what I see when I dream of you
(When I dream of you)
[Chorus]
G#m E
You're a spark in the dark and my clothes all caught aflame
C#m
You should feel how I feel when somebody says your name
F#
I'm a car speeding down the boulevard without a brake
B
And I want you more than any stupid song could ever say
E
I'm a heart made of wax and I'm melting in the sun
C#m
I'm a thread on your shirt that is coming undone
F#
I feel right, I feel wrong, I feel totally insane
N.C. B
And I want you more than any stupid song could ever say
[Bridge]
E
Every night like the one before
E
Dream of you from like 1 to 4
E
Positively and truly sure
B F#
Nobody's wanted somebody more
E
It's a thing that I can't ignore
E
Tell your friends that you're mine, I'm yours
E
With a hand on my heart, I swore
B F#
Nobody's wanted somebody more
C#m
It's a thing that I can't ignore
C#m
Tell your friends that you're mine, I'm yours
E F#
With a hand on my heart, I swore
B B F# E | B B F# E | B B F# E | B B F# E |
[Pre-Chorus]
B B F# E
I'm going crazy,
B B F# E
I'm going mad
B B F# E
I want you, baby,
F#
so bad
[Chorus]
G#m E
You're a spark in the dark and my clothes all caught aflame
C#m
You should feel how I feel when somebody says your name
F#
I'm a car speeding down the boulevard without a brake
B
And I want you more than any stupid song could ever say
E
I'm a heart made of wax and I'm melting in the sun
C#m
I'm a thread on your shirt that is coming undone
F#
I feel right, I feel wrong, I feel totally insane
