[Verse 1]
Gm D Ebm Gm D Ebm
She flies to Paris, France, I come down in her childhood bed
Gm D Ebm Gm D D
And write the words I’ll one day wish that I had never said
D D F#m D D F#m
Now all that I became must die before the forum thread
D D F#m D D F#m
The cursed vultures feed and spread the seeded daily bread
Gm D Ebm Gm D Ebm Gm D Ebm Gm D
And I guess I found out what it’s like

I am the richest girl in every room
Cmaj7
Mainline to the UE BOOM

They ask me

[Verse 2]
Fmaj7
“Why don’t you sing with an English accent?”
D
Well, I guess it’s too late to change it now
Fmaj7
In the rural American town fairground
D
I go ’round and I go ’round
Fmaj7 D
It’s a great wide gulf between intentions and what ground met me
D
I check my phone and make the sound
Fmaj7
Like “Theme From Failure” performed, but for just you
D
Like the new road built out of Black Country ground
Fmaj7 D
I have learned so little from all I lost in 2018
Fmaj7
I think she’s still waiting there for us, somewhere
D
Underneath what we built to keep the waters clean
Fmaj7
It’s a one-size-fits-all, hardcore, cyber-fetish, early-noughties zine
D
She sells Matcha shots to pay for printing costs and a PR team
Fmaj7
She’s recently enlightened and for some reason, that fazes me
D
It won’t give up, too soft to touch and how hard could it really be?
