Cm7I just wanted to be one of The F7Strokes Now look at the Cm7mess you made me make F7Hitchhiking with a monogrammed Cm7suitcase F7Miles away from any Bbmaj7half-useful imaginary Dm7b5highwaBb7add9y

Cm7Floating down the endless F7stream of great TV Cm7 F7 1984, 2019
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Cm7Maybe I was a little too F7wild in the '70s Cm7 Rocket-ship grease F7down the cracks of my knuckles Cm7Karate bandana, F7warp speed chic Cm7Hair down to there, imF7pressive moustache Cm7Love came in a bottle with a F7twist-off cap Bbmaj7Let's all have a swig and do a Dm7b5hot lapBb7add9

Cm7I just wanted to be one of those F7ghosts You Cm7thought that you F7could forget And then I Cm7 haunt you via the F7rear view mirror On a Bbmaj7long drive Dm7b5from the back Bb7add9seat
But Cm7it's alright, 'F7cause you love me Cm7And you recognise that it ain't F7how it should be Your Cm7eyes are heavy and the weather's F7getting ugly So Bbmaj7pull over, I Dm7b5know the placeBb7add9
Don't you Cm7know an apparition is a F7cheap date? What Cm7exactly is it you've been drinking F7these days? Cm7Jukebox in the corner, F7long, hot summer They've Cm7got a film up on the wall and F7it's dark enough to dance Cm7What do you mean you've never seen Blade Runner?
Cm7 F7 [Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, maybe Cm7I was a little too F7wild in the '70s Bbmaj7 Back down to earth with a Dm7b5lounge singer Bb7add9shimmer Cm7Elevator down to my F7make believe residenCm7cy From the F7honeymoon suite Cm7Two shows a day, four F7nights a week Bbmaj7 Easy money Dm7b5 Bb7add9
