Stupid Song Guitar Chords and Lyrics
Intro
G – C
Verse 1
[G]New York City's never looked so blue
[C]My friends are smoking blunts in the bathroom
[G]They say that honest love is a cage that [C] [D]makes you feel free
[G]And all the girls at this party are so cool
[C]That's never been a thing that I could do
[G]But I can't help but imagine what you say [C] [D]when you speak of me
Chorus
[Em]You're a spark in the dark and my clothes all caught aflame
[C]You should feel how I feel when somebody says your name
[Am]I'm a car speeding down the boulevard without a brake
[D]And I want you more than any stupid song could ever say
[G]I'm a heart made of wax and I'm melting in the sun
[C]I'm a thread on your shirt that is coming undone
[Am]I feel right, I feel wrong, I feel totally insane
[D]And I want you more than any [G]stupid song could ever say
Verse 2
[G]Walking through the park with my head high
[C]Past all the college girls and the drunk guys
[G]And if there is a god, he's the bond [C]that's between us two
[G]Seven nights alone and a skipped meal
[C]I'm sleeping in my dress and my high heels
[G]And I'm too shy to say what I see when [C]I dream of you (When I dream of you)
Bridge
[C]Every night like the one before
Dream of you from like 1 to 4
Positively and truly sure
[G]Nobody's wanted somebody more [D]
[C]It's a thing that I can't ignore
Tell your friends that you're mine, I'm yours
With a hand on my heart, I swore
[G]Nobody's wanted somebody more [D]
[Am]It's a thing that I can't ignore
Tell your friends that you're mine, I'm yours
[C]With a hand on my heart, I swore [D]
