       G                           C9 
A big town
         Em7                                               D/F#                                   G     C9     Em7     D/F# 
Synthetic apparitions of not being lonely
                                                                   G                       C9

                       G                             C9                 Em7                       D/F#                       G       C9     Em7       D/F# 
She's dancing enthralling, I guess I gotta wait my turn

                                       Em7 
You know I'm in love with this city
                           C9 
But the green is turning brown
             G                                                       D 
And I just look pathetic now
                   G                                             C9                 Em7 
If she likes it cause we just don't eat

And we're so intelligent, she's american
                     G                                       C9           Em7

                                                     G                         C9                     Em7                 D/F#                         G  C9  Em7  D/F#

                 G                               C9                             Em7                       D/F#                     G       C9  Em7  D/F# 
She calls on the phone like the old days, expecting the world
                                   G                                 C9 
Don't fall in love with the moment

                         C9 
But be careful or you'll drown
