[G#] [C#] [G#]
[F#] wake up every [A#] morning [C#] I hear your [F#] feet on the stairs
[C#] You're in the next apartment I hear you singing over [G#] there
[C#] [G#]
[F#] This [C#] groove is out of fashion [F#] These beats [C#] are twenty years [F#] old
I saw [C#] you lend a hand to [Fm] The ones that are standing in [G#] the cold
[C#] [G#]
[A#m] Strange overtones In [F#] the music you are playing
How [C#] heartless [Fm] It is strong and you are tough
[G#] But a heart is not enough
[C#] [G#]
[F#] Put on your socks and mittens It's getting [C#] colder [F#] tonight
A snowball [C#] in my kitchen [Fm] I watched it melt [C#] before [G#] my [C#] [G#] eyes
[F#] Your song still [A#m] needs a [F#] chorus I know you'll figure it out
The rising [C#] of the verses [Fm] A change in key will let you [G#] out
[C#] [G#] Strange [A#m] overtones Though [F#] they're slightly out of fashion
How [C#] heartless See [Fm] the music in your face
But [G#] your words cannot explain
