B            D#m
Clean slate, warm weather
 
            E              B    F#
They should tie our ankles both together
 
B                D#m
Seagulls calling to one another
 
     E                               B                 F#
If a stranger should ask you you can tell him I'm your brother
 
E                       B
Lean into me press real hard
 
      E                    B                  F#
I got no good reasons left not to let down my guard
 
C#m         B
I love your kiss
 
         C#m           E       F#
But it's going to come down to this
 
B       E       B          E
You and me on a high balcony
 
B                F#        E          F#
And professional wrestling on pay-per-view
 
B           E             B                 E
Windows and light and the radio blaring all night
 
        B            F#         E      F#      B
And the truth slowly dawning on me and then on you
 
B             D#m
Let's pretend we're all alone
 
E                B   F#
Let's unplug the telephone
 
B         D#m
Our scale doesn't slide
 
E                      B    F#
Here comes tonight hey open wide
 
E           B
Don't blink don't try too hard not to
 
E                 B                  F#
Just rehearse the alibis your father taught you
 
C#m                                    B
See the plastic coating on the windows blister
 
C#m              B                   F#
Anybody asks you tell them you're my sister yeah
 
B       E        B             E
You and me and a table set for three
 
B                 F#      E                   F#
Just in case our assassin should finally come through
 
B            E
And ???  and matches
 
B                             E
Why don't we cook up two more batches?
 
         B           F#    E      F#      B
With the ??? closing in on me and then on you
