E Amaj7 B i lie on a sofa awake, it's what you said last night E Amaj7 B you'd like us on top of a cake but you won't let me take a bite E Amaj7 B flowers arriving in fleets, can't we talk about this E Amaj7 B why let the state in our sheets, can't we do without it E Emaj7 G#m7 B7 well i don't mean to wind you up, but i'd like to slow it down E Emaj7 G#m7 B7 how do i remain a pup if you put me in a gown. Chorus: C#m F#m7 what's it got to do with you? G#m7 what's it got to do with me? F#m7 C#m how can i lose control, when you're driving from the back seat? C#m F#m7 what's it got to do with you? G#m7 what's it got to do with me? F#m7 B7 E how can i lose control, when you're driving from the back seat? Corners begin to repeat I think we're getting lost We walked to the end of the street But we were bitten by the frost So if you have to thaw me out You can put me in a pail Can we take another route? I don't want to wear a vail Chorus C#m7 F#m7 G#m7 C#m7 i'll wait in the lobby for someone to show, C#m7 F#m7 G#m7 C#m7 and if they don't come, i will know where to go C#m7 F#m7 G#m7 C#m7 the bodies are lined up outside in the hall, C#m7 F#m7 B7 i don't want to decay in a mall E F#m7 if everything you say is true, G#m7 F#m7 then why would i disagree how could i lose control Chorus: What's it gotta do with you? What's it gotta do with me? How could I lose control When you're driving from the backseat?
