B B/G# C#m9 Emaj7 F#7add4
[Verse 1]
B I B/G#open my C#m9eyes and it's Emaj7November
And I am in a F#7add4freight elevator
B And I'm B/G#in Las C#m9Vegas, Emaj7 but I haven't F#7add4won any money
B And B/G#everyone C#m9here is wearing Emaj7clothing that I F#7add4find confusing
B B/G# And I C#m9wonder if they've Emaj7won any F#7add4money
[Chorus 1]
E Jeff tells F#7add4me it's not the Badd4drugs
It's Monday Aadd9morning and you can't get uG#m7p
When your F#7sus4degree is staring Esus2daggers from the wall F#7sus4
EBut somewhere F#7add4sunk inside your Badd4heart
There is a Aadd9teensy tiny G#m7part of you that F#7sus4sure could use some cofB5/Ffee B5/E F#

B B/G# C#m9 Emaj7 F#7add4
B I B/G#open my C#m9eyes, and I am Emaj7sweating
I F#7add4must have been dreaming
B B/G# That C#m9punch I threw wasEmaj7 just embarrassing F#7add4
B And B/G#all my C#m9dreams are always Emaj7violent, but F#7add4I'm not violent
B So B/G#in my C#m9dreams I'm not so Emaj7good at F#7add4fighting
[Chorus 2]
E There's this F#7add4one where you and Badd4I
Are making Aadd9brilliant love G#m7inside a 7-11 F#7sus4outside the Esus2city F#7sus4
E And I can't F#7add4save us when that Badd4guy
Gets up and Aadd9jumps out from G#m7behind the counter
