NOTE: I'm not really sure what to call Dsus4/F# [Verse 1]
Cadd9 A big town
Em Dsus4/F# Synthetic apparitions of not
Cadd9 Em Dsus4/F# being lonely
Cadd9 "Look! He's having a breakdown
Em Oh what a let down, a shame, I
Dsus4/F# Cadd9 Em think he might die!"
Dsus4/F#
Dsus4/F# Em She's dancing enthralling, I guess
Cadd9 I gotta wait my turn
Dsus4/F# I said, "Don't fall in love with the moment"
Em Cadd9 She said I've got a lot to learn [Pre-Chorus 1]
Cadd9 You know I'm in love with this city
G Dsus4/F# But the green is turning brown
Cadd9 Dsus4/F# And I just look pathetic now [Chorus]
G Cadd9 If she likes it cause we just
Em don't eat
Dsus4/F# G And we're so intelligent,
Cadd9 Em Dsus4/F# she's American
G Cadd9 Em If she says I've got to fix my teeth

Dsus4/F# G Then she's so American (she's
Cadd9 Em Dsus4/F# American)
G Cadd9 If she likes it cause we just
Em don't eat
Dsus4/F# G And we're socially relevant,
Cadd9 Em Dsus4/F# she's American
G Cadd9 Em If she says I've got to fix my teeth
Dsus4/F# G Then she's so American (she's
Cadd9 Em Dsus4/F# American) [Verse 2]
Em Dsus4/F# She's inducing sleep to avoid
Cadd9 pain
Em And I think she's got a gun
Dsus4/F# Cadd9 divinely decreed and custom made
Em She calls on the phone like
Dsus4/F# Cadd9 the old days, expecting the world
Em Don't fall in love with the moment
Dsus4/F# And think you're in love with the
Cadd9 girl [Pre-Chorus 1]
Cadd9 There's no more water in this city
G Dsus4/F# But be careful or you'll drown
Cadd9 Dsus4/F# You think you've got it figured out [Chorus]
G Cadd9 If she likes it cause we just
Em don't eat
Dsus4/F# G And we're so intelligent,
Cadd9 Em Dsus4/F# she's American
G Cadd9 Em If she says I've got to fix my teeth
Dsus4/F# G Then she's so American (she's
Cadd9 Em Dsus4/F# American)

Cadd9 Em Dsus4/F# American) [Bridge]
Cadd9 G Well, your face has got a hold on me
Em Dsus4/F# But your brain is proper weird
Cadd9 Are you feeling the same?
G You just keep nodding at me
Em Dsus4/F# looking vacant [Chorus]
G Cadd9 If she likes it cause we just
Em don't eat
Dsus4/F# G And we're so intelligent,
Cadd9 Em Dsus4/F# she's American
G Cadd9 Em If she says I've got to fix my teeth
