F#          F#m     F#       F#m      F#
All dressed down to catch a whiff of the buzz
F#m             F#           F#m         F#
Smells like the death of the last great cause
    F#m                           F#
But you and I we’ve been through that
     F#m             F#
and that is not our fate
        F#m                 F#
Give my face to the back of your head
F#m             D C#
Loyal in your shadow
 D         C#
Yeah yeah yeah
  F#        C#/G#   D
Broken accidental stars

Chorus:
    D
Do lawyers have lawyers?
    A               C#       F#
Do landlords have landlords? we’re wondering
D                                 A
One more cheap suit in the loop, more
chlorine in the pool
                   C#      F#   D
The blonde dolls smiling behind us
       A       C#             F#
Says, one day you’ll be just like us

All dressed up to catch a glimpse of the list
We've seen some success, it looks like a camero
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Broken accidental stars

Chorus

D
Calling from the next hotel –
                       A
can you put me on the list?
Who we are now, we will always be –
the best haircuts are taken

Calling from the next hotel –
can you put me on the list?
Who we are now, we will always be –
the best haircuts are taken

Calling from the next hotel –
can you put me on the list?
Who we are now, we will always be –
the best haircuts are taken

Calling from the next hotel –
can you put me on the list?
Who we are now, we will always be
