verse 1
Cm7 F7
I just wanted to be one of The Strokes
Cm7
Now look at the mess you made me make
F7 Cm7
Hitchhiking with a monogrammed suitcase
F7 Bbmaj7 Bb7
Miles away from any half-useful imaginary highway
Cm7 F7
I'm a big name in deep space, ask your mates
Cm7 F7
But golden boy's in bad shape
Cm7
I found out the hard way that
F7 Bbmaj7
Here ain't no place for dolls like you and me
Bb7
Everybody's on a barge
Cm7 F7
Floating down the endless stream of great TV
Cm7 F7
1984, 2019
Pre-Chorus 1
Cm7 F7
Maybe I was a little too wild in the '70s
Cm7 F7
Rocket-ship grease down the cracks of my knuckles
Cm7 F7
Karate bandana, warp speed chic
Cm7 F7
Hair down to there, impressive moustache
Cm7 F7
Love came in a bottle with a twist-off cap
Bbmaj7 Bb7
Let's all have a swig and do a hot lap
Gm F7
So who you gonna call?
Gm Bbmaj7 B7 Eb Gb Eb
The martini police?
Bbmaj7 Bb7 Cm7 F7
Baby, that isn't how they look tonight, oh no
Cm7 F7 Cm7 F7 Bbmaj7 Bb7
It took the light forever to get to your eyes
verse 2
Cm7 F7
I just wanted to be one of those ghosts
Cm7 F7
You thought that you could forget
Cm7 F7
And then I haunt you via the rear view mirror
Bbmaj7 B7
On a long drive from the back seat
Cm7 F7
But it's alright, 'cause you love me
Cm7 F7
And you recognise that it's ain't how it should be
Cm7 F7
Your eyes are heavy and the weather's getting ugly
Bbmaj7 Bb7
So pull over, I know the place
Cm7 F7
Don't you know an apparition is a cheap date?
Cm7 F7
What exactly is it you've been drinking these days?
Cm7 F7
Jukebox in the corner, long, hot summer
Cm7 F7
They've got a film up on the wall and it's dark enough to dance
Cm7
What do you mean you've never seen Blade Runner?
Cm7 F7
Pre-Chorus 2
Cm7 F7
Oh, maybe I was a little too wild in the '70s
Bbmaj7 Bb7
Back down to earth with a lounge singer shimmer
Cm7 F7 Cm7
Elevator down to my make believe residency
F7
From the honeymoon suite
Cm7 F7
Two shows a day, four nights a week
Bbmaj7 Bb7
Easy money
Gm F7
So who you gonna call?
Gm Bbmaj7 B7 Eb Gb Eb
The martini police?
Bbmaj7 B7
Ooooh
Gm F7
So who you gonna call?
Gm Bbmaj7 B7 Eb Gb Eb
The martini police?
Bbmaj7 B7 Cm7 F7
Oh, baby, that isn't how they look tonight
Cm7 F7 Cm7 F7 Cm7 F7
It took the light absolutely forever to get to your eyes
Outro
Cm7 F7 Cm7 F7
And as we gaze skyward, ain't it dark early?
Cm7 F7 Bbmaj7 B7
It's the star treatment, yeah
Cm7 F7 Cm7 F7
And as we gaze skyward, ain't it dark early?
Cm7 F7 Cm7 F7
It's the star treatment
Cm7 F7 Cm7 F7
It's the star treatment
Cm7 F7 Cm7 F7
The star treatment
