Intro
E – – –
Am – Dm – Am – Dm – C – G – C – E –
Verse 1
Am – Dm – Am – Dm – C – G – C – E – x2
Used to have just one foot out the door
Yeah, I always wanted more
I always was the one
You thought would never marry
Used to be willfully obtuse
(or is the word abstruse?)
Semantics like a noose
Get out your dictionaries
Pre-Chorus 1
Dm – E – Dm – E E7
I'm gonna cut to the quick
This is all non-fiction
Words you beat with a stick
These are my true convictions
Chorus 1
Am – Dm – C – G – C – G – C – E –
So tell me, are you serious?
Are you serious?
Cause every night of your life
You'll fight for it
Am – Am/B – C – G – C – B – Em – E –
So mysterious
How imperious!
But are you serious
When it really comes down to it?
Break 1
Am – – C – – x2
Am – Dm – Am – Dm – C – G – C – E –
Verse 2
Am – Dm – Am – Dm – C – G – C – E – x2
I see that you're down there and on the pier
Your boyfriend's gone to get a beer
Leaving us crystal clear lines of communications
Promise me you won't avert your eyes
I drop my flippers in disguise
You know it's time to do or die
No useless explanations
Pre-Chorus 2
Dm – E – Dm – E E7
I'm gonna cut to the quick
This is all non-fiction
Words you beat with a stick
These are my true convictions
Chorus 2
Am – Dm – C – G – C – G – C – E –
Tell me, are you serious?
Are you serious?
Every night of your life
You'll fight for it
Am – Am/B – C – G – C – B – Em – E –
So mysterious
How imperious!
But are you serious
When it really comes down to it?
