D


[Verse 1]
D           A         Bm            G     A
  If I was Atlantis and you were the sea
D                A             Bm          G     A
  I'd sneak up behind you and break your knees
D                   A           Bm           G     A
  I'd cut off your fingers and both of your feet
D                   A            Bm           G     A  D
  So you couldn't reach me, but you couldn't leave


[Verse 2]

D               A      Bm        G     A
  If I was a painter, if I was brave
D                 A         Bm         G    A
  I'd hang up a canvas and give it a name
D                    A         Bm             G    A
  I'd call it The Future and just leave it blank
D                    A         Bm         G      F#m
  Get high off the fumes and die in the paint


[Chorus]

G               A             Bm
  It's overdramatic, yeah, I know
         F#m               G
Somebody cast me in a TV show
                  A                  Bm
Where I play an addict, a drunken romantic
        F#m                   G
Always reaching for another drink
              A               Bm
But after a season I'd get replaced
         F#m                   G
By some asshole with a bettеr face
                    A                Bm
But I'll steal the costumе on my way out
         F#m                   G
And I'll wear it when we go dancing


[Verse 3]

D                F#m   Bm           G    A
   Wipe all the makeup off of your face
D                       F#m          Bm              G   A
   We can turn off the lights if it makes you feel safe
D                  F#m        Bm     G    A
   I learned about love in American cars
D                F#m        Bm            G     A
   A rusted-out frame and a lot of spare parts


[Chorus 2]

G                    A                 Bm
  But there in the backseat, freezing cold
       F#m                   G
Just barely seventeen years old
            A                Bm
I saw the dragon and I gave chase
            F#m                  G
A perfect example of a hopeless case
            A                  Bm
And every doctor that drew my blood
          F#m          G
Could find no explanation
               A                Bm
Maybe it's a virus, maybe it's love
             F#m
Or just my imagination


[Outro]

G  A  Bm  F#m
G  A  Bm  F#m
G

D             A         Bm            G   A
  If I was Atlantis and you were the sea
D                A            Bm      G
  I'd sneak up behind you and set you free
