[Intro]
Amaj7 F#m Bm7 Dm
 
 
[Verse 1]
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
 
 
[Verse 2]
Amaj7
One Tuesday he caught me sneaking in a stare
F#m
He shot me a smile
I nearly tumbled out my chair
Bm7
He said "Who are you? My name is James"
Dm
And that's when I fell into the flames
 
 
[Chorus 1]
Amaj7
Turns out he's a fool
Bm
That James
Dm   Amaj7
Oh, James
Amaj7             Bm
Oh, how I wasted, my days
Dm                        Amaj7
Oh, dreaming, dreaming of James
 
 
[Verse 3]
Amaj7
He said "Do you like museums?"
"They're open late tonight"
F#m
How about we go together
Just you and I
Bm7
And maybe we can have a drink or two
Dm
I'd like to learn about you
 
 
[Verse 4]
Amaj7
But James just thought
It was alright
F#m
To go ahead and talk
About himself all night
Bm7
Then he really felt he had to say
Dm
That he'd be a millionaire one day
 
 
[Chorus 2]
Amaj7
Turns out he's a fool
Bm
That James
Dm   Amaj7
Oh, James
Amaj7             Bm
Oh, how I wasted, my days
Dm                        Amaj7
Oh, dreaming, dreaming of James
 
 
[Interlude]
Amaj7 Bm Dm Amaj7
 
 
[Outro]
Bm7
My eyes rolled to the back of my head
C7
It seemed like the night would never
end
Bm7
At one point I just stopped listening
C7
His voice just became too sickening
 
Amaj7 Bm Dm Amaj7
