Cm                                             D
So when you gaze at planet earth from outer space
Gm                                         Cm
Does it wipe that stupid look off of your face?
                                 D
I saw this aura over the battleground states
   Gm
I lost the money, lost the keys
                                  D#     F
But I'm still handcuffed to the briefcase

Chorus:
         D#     F
I never thought, not in a million years
D#        F            Cm
That I'€d meet so many Lola's
Can I please have my money back?
    D                       Gm
My virtual reality mask is stuck on "€˜Parliament Brawl"€™
Cm                      D
Emergency battery pack just in time for
                     Gm
my weekly chat with God on videocall

Breaking news, they take the truth and make it fluid
The trainer's explanation was accepted by the steward
A montage of the latest ancient ruins
Soundtracked by a Chorus of
"You don't know what you're doing"

Chorus:
  D#            F
I never thought, not in a million years
D#        F            Cm   D  Gm
That I'd meet so many Lola's

A         F                         D
And all of my most muscular regrets explode
                     Gm
behind my eyes like American sports

Chorus:
  D#            F
I never thought, not in a million years
D#        F            Cm   D
That I'd meet so many Lola's
