[Radio DJ Speaks]


[Verse 1]
G                  D
Pound ten keys and then press send
A                             Bm      A
Let the curtains down just to let you in
  G        D                A      Bm  A
I know you know you’ve been here before
    G       D                A
The awkward boy with all the weight
       Bm  A G
on his core   Pound ten beers and
D               A
then press send let the curtains
             Bm      A D D A
down just to let you in.


[Chorus 1]
  Bm         G
A boy in California
     D               A
well that’s just too far
    Bm            G
Her eyes are baby blue
         D              A
and they shine up like stars
Bm          G        D
She told me things I dare
      A     Bm
not repeat about a distant
G      D      A     G A G A
past I found amusing


[Verse 2]
G              A        G
  Watch you control the substance
        A            G
doesn’t mean I don’t care
        A          G
Pack me up, get me out
             A           G
because it’s you I can’t share
            A
A highlight reel of all
    G                A
the things we’d ever been
       G               A
in our basement by the sea
        G
and You know you are
   A           D
my pretty thing


[Verse 3]
 D
Across five states it
was you that kept
me sane it was.

    Em            F#m  G
The ghosts that appear nightly
        Em       F#m     G
in your room I’d have to say
       Bm             A
I do approve of every little
                G
thing they have ever done to you
Bm       A          G
  to get through to you
