B D#m
Clean slate, warm weather
E B F#
They should tie our ankles both together
B D#m
Seagulls calling to one another
E B F#
If a stranger should ask you you can tell him I'm your brother
E B
Lean into me press real hard
E B F#
I got no good reasons left not to let down my guard
C#m B
I love your kiss
C#m E F#
But it's going to come down to this
B E B E
You and me on a high balcony
B F# E F#
And professional wrestling on pay-per-view
B E B E
Windows and light and the radio blaring all night
B F# E F# B
And the truth slowly dawning on me and then on you
B D#m
Let's pretend we're all alone
E B F#
Let's unplug the telephone
B D#m
Our scale doesn't slide
E B F#
Here comes tonight hey open wide
E B
Don't blink don't try too hard not to
E B F#
Just rehearse the alibis your father taught you
C#m B
See the plastic coating on the windows blister
C#m B F#
Anybody asks you tell them you're my sister yeah
B E B E
You and me and a table set for three
B F# E F#
Just in case our assassin should finally come through
B E
And ??? and matches
B E
Why don't we cook up two more batches?
B F# E F# B
With the ??? closing in on me and then on you
Outro: B E B E B E F#(one
