Amaj7
I spent months gazing at him
Sitting cross the hall
     F#m
His dark hair, his glasses
Perfect overall
              Bm7
He looked so serious
           Dm
He was mysterious

One Tuesday, he caught me sneaking in a stare
He shot me a smile, I nearly tumbled out my chair
He said, "Who are you? My name is James"
And that's when I fell into the flames

Chorus:
Amaj7
Turns out he's a fool
      Bm7
That James
C#m7 Dm9 G13 Amaj7
Oh, James
Amaj7               Bm7
Oh, how I wasted my days
C#m7 Dm9               G13 Amaj7
Oh, dreaming, dreaming of James

He said, "Do you like museums?
They're open late tonight"
How about we go together, just you and I?
And maybe we can have a drink or two
I'd like to learn about you

But James just thought it was alright
To go ahead and talk about himself all night
Then he really felt he had to say
That he'd be a millionaire one day

Chorus

Bm7                           E7sus2
My eyes rolled to the back of my head
F#m7                          F#7sus2
It seemed like the night would never end
Bm7                  Bm9            C#m7
At one point I just stopped listening
Dm9                        Amaj7
His voice just became too sickening
