[G] [C] [D]
[G] [C] [D]


[G]I know that the bar closes at e[C]leven [D]
But [G]I hope you never finish that [C]beer [D]
[G]You know all the words to "Just Like [C]Heaven"
And [D]I know why he [G]wrote them
Now that you're standing right [C]here [D]


Oh, [G]one night I was bored in bed and [C]stalked you on the [D]internet
It's [G]feminine intuition
'Cause I [C]always had a vision of us [D]standing like this
All [G]pressed up in the bathroom line
You're [C]looking like an angel on the [D]walls of Versailles
The [G]most alivе I've ever been
But [C]kiss mе and I [D]might drop dead


[G] [C] [D]


[G] And I feel like I might throw up


Left hook, right punch to the gut
[C] You're so, so pretty, boy
I'm [D]paranoid I made you up
[G] Yeah, I'd love it if you walked me home


If you promised we could go real slow
[C]'Cause I got chewing gum
And a [D]bunch of stuff I'd like to know
Like,[G] have you ever been to Japan?


Or taken that Eurostar to France?
[C] I've been dropping hints all night
That I'd [D]love it if you held my hand, goddamn
[G] And then maybe we could make, makeout


Clothes off and fall to the ground
[C]Let's go steady, let's go out
And [D]tell the whole damn world how


[G]One night I was bored in bed
And [C]stalked you on the [D]internet
It's [G]feminine intuition
'Cause I [C]always had a vision of us [D]standing like this
All [G]pressed up in the bathroom line
You're [C]looking like an angel on the [D]walls of Versailles
The [G]most alivе I've ever been
But [C]kiss mе and I [D]might—


[G]Pisces and a Gemini
But I [C]think we might go really [D]nice together
[G]If you let me stay the night
Well, I [C]think I might just have to [D]stay forever
[G]Pisces and a Gemini
But I [C]think we might go really [D]nice together
[Em]If you let me stay the night
Well, I [C]think I might just have to [D]stay forever


[G] [C] [D]
[G] [C] [D]


Oh, [G]one night I was bored in bed
And [C]stalked you on the [D]internet

You're [C]looking like an angel on the [D]walls of Versailles
