[Intro]
G G Cadd9 Dsus4

G                             
Well I woke up in mid-afternoon 
                       Cadd9
cause that's when it all hurts
    Dsus4
the most
G                                 
I dream I never know anyone at the
       Cadd9
 party and I'm always the
Dsus4
host
Em7                             
If dreams are like movies, then 
Cadd9
memories are films about
        G
ghosts
        Dsus4                 
You can never escape, you can only 
Cadd9
move south down the coast
G    Dsus4  Cadd9      Dsus4
Hey, Mrs Potter, don't cry

Hey, Mrs Potter I don't know why but
Hey, Mrs Potter won't you talk to me

(this is Riff A. It's played pretty 
much every other measure in all the
verses. The A's in the verses are 
usually the riff above, in fact, but
 a
simple A chord will do the job.)

[Verse]
A                            
Well I woke up in mid-afternoon 
D                       E
cause that's when it all hurts the 
most
(then Riff A twice)
A                                 
I dream I never know anyone at the
  D             E
 party and I'm always the host
then Riff A twice
C#m                           
If dreams are like movies, then 
    D
memories are films about ghosts
(then Riff A twice)
A                             D
You can never escape, you can only 
move south down the coast
(then Riff A twice)
all the rest of the verses follow 
that same pattern.

Well, I am an idiot walking a 
tightrope of fortune and fame
I am an acrobat swinging trapezes 
through circles of flame
If you've never stared off in the 
distance, then your life is a
shame
And though I'll never forget your 
face,
sometimes I can't remember my name

[Chorus]
C#m  D    A        E
Hey  Mrs. Potter don't cry
C#m  D    A          E
Hey  Mrs. Potter I know why but
C#m  D    A
Hey  Mrs. Potter won't you talk to 
me
