Picking Pattern:
Versions of this picking pattern are used for all the chords throughout
the song, other than the Dm in the verses, and the last C7. Both are
just strummed once.

G|----1---1--------1---1----|

For the outro, you might find it sounds nicer if you use
the barred version of the chords.
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]
