Em
Someone that I met but I hardly knew
Em
He said that everyone loves a defective heart
            Am
He'd parted ways with diction, this was late last night
Am
He see me getting your affection and it proved he was right
Am
The way I stared off thinking that all was sound
Em
Anyone that I knew would've called me found
Em
You can break my legs, you can kick me downstairs
          Am
But there ain't no getting over Joanie Hale-Maier
Am
Just let me walk away
Am
Let me walk away

[Chorus]
             B
And then the place ignite
B
It's in my face and I'm
           Em
Behind the bass line

[Verse 2]
Em
Someone that I knew but I hardly met
Em
Told me, it's hopeless I'm a slut for the New York Times
            Am
She made my heart soft, worn an aiguillette on her arm
Am
She never been to Texas, never heard of King Kong
Am
And it'd been so long since I'd been suitably high
   Em
So we did an Airborne, settled in for the night
Em
Tell me sweetness don't somehow reach your heart
         Am
Until you fall flat down and you can't wait to start
Am
This is the one cold truth we've all of us known
Am
As I think to myself this could be easy or I could face it alone

[Chorus]
             B
And then the place ignite
B
All out of grace and I'm
           Em
Behind the bass line
