I'm not the kind of fool
F# F# E F# G# F# G# F# C#
Who's gonna sit and sing to you
E F# G# F#
About stars , girl

b G# G# G# G# G# G# F# E
But last night I looked up into
b G# F# F# E F# E C#
The dark half of the blue
E G# E G# F#
And they'd gone backwards

G# G# G# G# F# E F#
Something in your magnetism
G# G# G# F# G#
Must have pissed them off
G# G# G# G# F# E F# G# B G#
Forcing them to get an early night

G# G# G# G# F#
I have been searching from
b G# G# G# F# E
The bottom to the top
b F# G# E
For such a sight

b b F# F# F# . . b b F# E As the one I caught . . when I saw your
B G# B B B G#
Fingers dimming in the lights
E F# G# B B B B B B B G#
Like you're used to being told that you're trouble
E E B G# ( A G# F# E C# )
And I spent all night
E F# E F# G#
Stuck on the puzzle

G# G# G# A G# F# E
Nobody I asked
F# G# G# G# A G#
Knew how he came to be the one
F# F# E C# . . E G# F# G#
To whom you surrendered

G# G# G# A G# F# E b
Any man who wasn't led away
G# G# G# A G# F# F# E C#
Into the other room
E F# G# F#
Stood pretending

b G# G# G# G# G# F# E F#
That something in your magnetism
G# G# G# G# F# G#
Hadn't just made him drop
b G# G# G# F# G# F# E F# B G#
Whoever's hand it was that he was holding

G# G# G# G# G# F#
I have been searching from
b G# G# G# F# E
The bottom to the top

For such a sight

And I spent all night
E F# E F# G#
Stuck on the puzzle

B B G# B B B G#
I tried to swim to the side
E F# B B B B B B B G#
But my feet got caught in the middle
E F# B B C4 C4 C#4
And I thought I'd seen the light
E C#4 B
But oh no
B B E B B E B G#
I was just stuck on the puzzle
G# G# b G# G# . . A G# F# E C#
Stuck on the puzzle - ooh
