       Am         F               G             Em
I want Neil Young on your phone speaker in the morning
     Am             F          G
And fuck him if he just can't see
         Am      F            G           Em
This is how his songs are supposed to be heard
        Am             F   G
No more lectures on fidelity
  Dm                G    G#
I don't believe in mysticism
Dm             G       G#
Only in what science proves
          Dm    G       G#
Like the sex appeal of your sick dance moves
G#
Ooh, wee, ooh, wee

Chorus:
C
Put on your red beret, baby
          F                G
Moonwalk naked across the room (ooh, ooh)
C
Do something kinda unique to me
         F                     G
Do something that'll make me swoon (ooh, ooh)
C
That's how I know that I'm not pretending
F                       G
I know it's not make believe (ooh, ooh)
     C
It's only complicated if you want it to be
F                   G               C
Do you know what I mean? It's byzantine (ooh, ooh)

I want Hi-Chews, playlists, smoking on the roof
And I love the way you look at me
Tennessee Williams in Stuart Weitzman boots
Yeah, you're just too wild to believe
A fetish for athletic fashion
Running shoes and striped track suits
I never heard of Sparks before
But I'm so glad you shared them with me

Chorus

A                  D
Rollin', crashin', breakin', splashing
C               D
Givin', takin', makin', breakin' promises
A               D
You got me high when I was low
C              D             E
Negative ions, come save my soul (soul, soul)

Chorus

           F  G
It's byzantine
           C
It's byzantine (ooh, ooh)
           F  G
It's byzantine
           C
It's byzantine (ooh, ooh)
