Now they (Bm)bet on our game; say, we’ll (C#)go down in flames, it’s (F#m)too good, oh it (F#m)nev er could last.

But (D)oh,

(D)Oh,

Let that (Bm)cell phone ring, let that (C#)blue bird sing, let that (F#m7)mes sage say “Un read.”

Yeah, let them (Bm)talk a bout us, let them (C#)talk too much, while we (F#m7)rule the whole world from our bed.

And (CN.C.)spec ta cle
