[Verse 1]
E                              _
    She got a sixer from the store down the street
A                       _
    Stayed up watching basketball replays
E                              _
    There's a reason that she can't go to sleep
A                            _
    And it's got nothing to do with LeBron James
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m                    B               A  _
    Has to do with a chemical reaction
    C#m                        B                        A  _
    Stimulated synapses, the snapping and the crackling
         E                            B                  C#m  A
    The doctor gave her something to focus her attention
                 E                       B                      C#m  A
    She's got a six month supply in the cupboard in the kitchen
 
 
[Chorus]
                     B        _
Upstairs, she hears footsteps
                 A  _
And she has an idea
 
 
[Verse 2]
E                            D/E
    He's home late from some dinner and some drinks
A                              _
    Another Friday with the suits in the steakhouse
E                          D/E
    Asset management's as thrilling as you'd think
              A
    But they pay him pretty well
              E
    Now he's renting out the penthouse
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
   C#m                             B                  A  _
He hasn't met the neighbors, he's new to the building
          C#m                           B                   A  _
So he's a little bit surprised when he notices the knocking
        E                            B                          C#m  A
When he opens up the door, it's the girl that lives beneath him
               E                          B                              C#m  A
She said, "I know it's pretty late and I hope that you weren't sleeping"
 
 
[Chorus]
                                B        _
She says she thought she heard footsteps
                 A  _
And she had an idea
 
 
[Verse 3]
          E                        B
    He'd seen her at the mailbox, made a little small talk
A                         _
    Now she's here in his entrance
      E                                B
    Shaking up the bottle like she's playing the maracas
A                              _
    Says she's high and she's restless
             E                            B
    He puts something on the stereo, it sounds like it's Sinatra
D                                  A
    She thinks that seems a bit square
                  E                              B                        A   _
    But there's things you overlook when you're getting with the guy upstairs
 
 
[Verse 4]
          B                              E/G#
      She opens up the bottle and starts pouring out the pills
        A                            _
      Crush it on the counter being careful not to spill
       B                       E/G#
      He starts mixing drinks, measuring the gin
       A                           _
      Getting down the glassware, muddling the mint
            B                        E/G#
      They talk about their work and where they went to school
               A                             _
      How the city's kind of changed, how it used to be so cool
            B                             E/G#                  A
      It's hard to make friends when your job  is so demanding
N.C.
      They start dancing
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m   B
     Sunrise into sundown
      A
     Sending out for takeout
       _
     Sharing inside jokes now
     C#m                                 B
     Finally tries to kiss her and she says that it's not like that
A            -
     Now he wished he wouldn't have done that
           E
     Cause everything is awkward
              B
     And the conversation slows
      E
     She cleans off the countertop
           A                            B  _
     And says that she should probably go
 
 
[Bridge]
           E                        B
    She'd seen him at the mailbox flipping through the mail drop
E                                _
    She wasn't sure how to start it
      E                               B
    Spent the lost weekend trying to find a small connection
         E                             _
    At least, she got to see his apartment
E                          B
    A Nagel poster in the silver frame
D/E                                  A
    She thought that seemed kind of lame
         E                                B                          D   _
    She wakes up late for work with the sniffles and the spiraling shame
 
 
[Verse 5]
E                                B
    Later in the fall, when she sees him in the hallway
A                                  _
    She makes a point to be friendly
           E                                B
    He's standing with some baby that he's calling his fiancée
         A                         _
    Her name is either Kelly or Katie
            E
    She's glad they found each other
         B
    The wedding's next September
            D                            A
    She's planning her own party tonight
      E                   B                         A         _
    Crushing up pills at home, watching basketball highlights
 
 
[Outro]
                      B        _
She thinks she hears footsteps
                             A
But now they're not really there
