Fm                          Cm
A head on the screen seemed desperately keen
   Db                      Ab        Eb
On selling me graphics instead of a game
Fm                         Cm
I felt like a cog in a market machine
           Db              Ab       Eb
Trying to stay excited for all this shame
        Ab
Then he came
       Eb
Like a straight piece in Tetris
     Db                            Eb
Like Moltres you've caught at your door
      Fm             C            Eb          Fm
And I watched him in awe, feeling deep to the core
Bbm7                  Eb
That I'm not alone anymore

[Chorus]

  Db           Eb         Ab         Fm
A whirlpool of puppies in vague neon light
    Db         Eb             Ab
All purple and fluffy, please take me inside
        Db           Eb         Fm          Bb
They're swirling and laughing, awakening my mind
       Bbm       Eb      Ab
'Cause I am breathtaking tonight

[Verse 2]

  Fm                    Cm
A million souls live in fantasy worlds
 Bbm                   Ab          Eb
Accustomed to lies and depression
    Fm                         Cm
The minute he showed them he's one of their own
   Db                    Eb
He made every gamer feel special
      Ab
As he came
       Eb
Like a bubble of air
      Db                       Eb
Right there when you've nearly drowned
          Fm          C          F      Bb
The whole planet revolves around him 'cause it knows:
Bbm7                     Eb
No matter what, he'll be around

[Chorus]

  Db           Eb         Ab         Fm
A whirlpool of puppies in vague neon light
    Db         Eb             Ab
All purple and fluffy, please take us inside
      Bb      Eb          Fm       Bb
We'll burn any city, just say it's alright
       Bbm7         Eb     Ab
'Cause we are breathtaking tonight

[Bridge]

Db       Eb           Ab           Fm
If I get shattered in fragments of blue
     Db             Eb                   Ab
He'd pass me a warm sweater and get me a brew
     Db           Eb           Fm          Bb
He'd say "It gets better!" and I know it's true
Db       Eb        Ab
Keanu, I matter to you

[Chorus]

  Db           Eb         Ab         Fm
A whirlpool of puppies in vague neon light
    Db         Eb             Ab
All purple and fluffy, please take us inside
      Bb      Eb          Fm       Bb
We'll burn any city, just say it's alright
       Bbm7         Eb     Ab       Fm
'Cause we are breathtaking tonight
      Bbm7         Eb     Ab       Fm
Yeah, we are breathtaking tonight
      Bbm       Eb     Ab
We're all breathtaking tonight
