A#m                 F#
When I watch the world burn
G#          C#
All I think about is you
A#m              F#
When I watch the world burn
G#           C#
All I think about is you

A#m                            F#
There must be something in the kool-aid
                     G#
Cruising through the doom days
                  A#m
God knows what is real and what is fake
A#m                           F#
Last couple years have been a mad trip
                      G#
But how'd you look so perfect
                   A#m
You must have some portraits in the attic
A#m                          F#
We'll stay offline so no one gets hurt
                G#
Hiding from the real world
                    A#m
Just don't read the comments ever, ever
A#m                              F#
We fucked this house up like the planet
                G#
We were running riot
                A#m
Crazy that some people still deny it

Think I’m addicted to my phone
My scrolling horror show
I'm live-streaming the final days of Rome
One tab along, it's pornographic
Everybody's at it
No surprise we're so easily bored
Let's pick the truth that we believe in
Like a bad religion
Tell me all your original sins
So many questionable choices
We love the sound that our voice makes
Man, this echo chamber's getting loud

A#m
We're gonna choose the blue pill
F#
We're gonna close the curtains
G#                            C#
We're gonna rabbit hole down third act love now
A#m
She's gonna flip some tables
F#
I'm gonna move this tale on
G#                            C#
We're gonna rabbit hole down third act love now
A#m
We'll be the proud remainers
F#
Here till the morning breaks us
G#                          C#
We run away from real life thoughts tonight
A#m
We're gonna Peter Pan out
F#
Fade to the close up, arms round
G#                       C#
We're gonna stay naive tonight, night, night

A#m              F#
When I watch the world burn
G#           C#
All I think about is you
A#m              F#
When I watch the world burn
G#           C#
All I think about is you
A#m F#
You
G#          C#
All I think about is you
A#m         F#
So I put my phone down
G#            C#
Fall into the night with you
