      A#                       A7
For a master of deception and subterfuge
                Dm                Dm7   Gm
You've made yourself quite the bed, to lie in
A#                                  Em7        A
Do your time traveling through the tanning booth
        Dm           Dm7            Gm
So you don’t let the sun catch you crying

Chorus:
F D#                   D7               Gm/C  A#
    So predictable, I know what you're thinking

My teeth are beating and my knees are weak
It's as if there’s something up with the wiring
You can poke your head behind the mountain peak
Don't have to mean that you've gone into hiding

Chorus

G             G7/D         Dm6                 Em     C
Watching your every move I feel the tears are coming on
    C
It won't be long
             Am
It won't be long

G         Gmaj7           G7
Straight from the cover shoot
                         Em
There's still a trace of body paint
          C7                               Am
On your legs and on your arms and on your face
G        Gmaj7         G7
And I'm keeping on my costume
                  Em
And calling it a writing tool
                C7
And if you’re thinking of me
               Am
I’m probably thinking of you

D#                             D7
There's still a trace of body paint
         Gm/C                              D#maj7
On your legs and on your arms and on your face
                       D7
Still a trace of body paint
         D7/C                              D#
On your legs and on your arms and on your face
                        D7
Still a trace of body paint
        Gm/C                              D#
On your legs and on your arms and on your face
                       D
Still a trace of body paint
         D7/C                            D#maj7
On your legs and on your arms and on your face

                  D7                Gm/C
So predictable I know what you’re thinking
