[Intro]

Bm7 G5 (x2)

Bm7

[Verse]

          Bm7
It's the little things my mind commits
    G5
To etch behind my eyelids
      Bm7
Like getting stoned when we wake up
D                   Asus4
Coffee grounds and coffee cups
      Bm7
Your silhouette in high top sneakers
     G5
And hardcore from laptop speakers
     Bm7
The classics to the more obscure
      D               Asus4               Bm7
From Minor Threat to your old roommate's band
        Bm7
Like a kaleidoscope admiring years
   G5
I navigate around your tattoos
Bm7  
Said you got that one on a whim 
      D                Asus4
when you were breaking up with him
        Bm7
And that Matryoshka Russian doll
     G5
The largest shell from big to small
Bm7
What a way to start anew
    D                  Asus4        D
To shed your skin and find the old you

[Chorus]

D           G                 D
Everybody wants to get famous 
                      G                  Bm 
But you just want to dance in a basement 
                   G                 Bm
You don't care if anyone is watching
                 G                 D
Just as long as you stay in motion
                       G               D
We put miles on these old jean jackets
                       G                 Bm7
Got caught up in the drunk conversations
               G5                Bm7
But after the party, it's me and you
           G5                 Bm7
After the party, it's me and you

[Verse]

    Bm7                            G5
The new-old look on everything we see
     Bm7                           D        Asus4
From high upon this rooftop over South Philly
        Bm7                            G5
To the nights we lose our self control
         Bm7                            
From the sex, from the drugs, 
          D       Asus4    Bm7
from the rock and roll

[Chorus]

Bm          G                 Bm
Everybody wants to get famous
                       G                 D
But you just want to dance in a basement
                   G                 D
You don't care if anyone is watching
                 G                 D
Just as long as you stay in motion
                       G               D
We put miles on these old jean jackets
                       G                 Bm7
Got caught up in the drunk conversations
               G5                Bm7
But after the party, it's me and you
           G5                Bm7
After the party, it's me and you
           G5                Bm7
After the party, it's me and you
           G5                Bm7
After the party, it's me and you
           G5                Bm7  Asus4
After the party, it's me and you
