[Verse 1]
C Am
Lily, I don't know how to start this letter
C Am
I'm writing you from the beach where I'm living
C Am
I got a disco outside of my window
Fmaj7/F G
I love all these kids, but the good times are killing me
C Am
I got a picture of you on the dashboard
C Am
So I can feel like you're watching right over me
C Am
I hope someday you're gonna move to the city
Fmaj7/F G
Cause the lights in this town, they don't brighten up anything
[Refrain]
Am F C G Am F C G
And they say such foolish things, like "Love, love, love, love is all you need"
Am F C G Fmaj7 G
But everything inside is saying 'Danger, baby, love's gonna leave'
C G F C G F
So I played your sympathy ( Voc.: Sym-path-y , have mercy on me (BV: Have Mer-cy)
Am F C G Am F C G
Cause I been hurt, I been stung, by the good name of love, 'til I threw my own heart in the sea...
C
Among other foolish things
[Verse 2]
C Am
And I don't mind the nights and the low light
C Am
We spin 'round like records in the apartment
C Am
You still remind me of Marianne Faithfull
Fmaj7/F G
Lookin' like a picture taken outta the '60s
[Refrain]
Am F C G Am F C G
And we say such foolish things, like 'Love love love, love is all we need'
Am F C G Fmaj7 G
But everything inside is saying, "Danger, baby, love's gonna leave"
C G F C G F
So I played your sympathy (BV: Sym-path-y) , be patient with me (BV: Have Mer-cy)
Am F C G Am F C G
Cause I been hurt, I been stung, by the good name of love, 'til I threw my own heart in the sea...
C
Among other foolish things

[Outro]
Am F C G Am F C G
And we believe such foolish things, like 'Love love love, love is all we need'
Am F C G Fmaj7 G
And living would be easy if we never ever had to bleeeeee-eeeed
Am F C G
And I've taken a dive on a smoky set of eyes
Am F C G
I been so deceived and I've been the one lyin'
Am F C G Fmaj7 G
And there was this one time when I painted a masterpiece
C
Among other foolish things
