    E               C5+                     \
I'm not the kind of fool
                             A       F#m      } (Riff 1)
who's gonna sit and sing to you,
                                            /
about stars, girl.

     E                    C5+          \
But last night I looked up into
                       A        F#m      } (Riff 2)
the dark half of the blue,
       C#m7+
and they'd gone backwards.             /

A                 B
Something in your magnetism
E                       Ab
must have pissed them off,
A               B              E        Ab
  forcing them to get an early night.

A            B
I have been searching from
    E                Ab
the bottom to the top,
               A
for such a sight
         Am
as the one i caught when I saw your...

E       B              F#m
Fingers dimmed in the lights
          E              B                  F#m
like your used to being told that you're trouble
       E     B    F#m
and I spent all night
             E   B   F#m
stuck on the puzzle

E             C5+                          \
Nobody I asked
                            A                } (Riff 1)
knew how he came to be the one
     F#m
to whom you surrendered                    /

E            C5+                \
Any man who wasn't led away
         A         F#m
into the other room               } (Riff 2)
     C#m7+
stood pretending                /

A                      B
But something in your magnetism
 E                       Ab
hadn't just made him drop
A                 B                E        Ab
whoever's hand it was that he was holding.

A            B
I have been searching from
    E                Ab
the bottom to the top,
               A
for such a sight
         Am

Fingers dimmed in the lights
          E              B                  F#m
like your used to being told that you're trouble
       E     B    F#m
and I spent all night
             E   B   F#m
stuck on the puzzle

   E        B          F#m
I tried to swim to the side,
        E        B            F#m
but my feet got caught in the middle,
       E          Ab         A        F#m
and I thought I'd seen the light,
        B       A    Abm
but oh, no.
            F#m               E      B      F#m
I was just stuck on the puzzle.
              E        B       F#m
Stuck on the puzzle.
