[Verse 1]
G
  There's something in the air
     Am               
The girls are runnin' 
                   G
'round in summer dresses
         Em           
With their masks off 
       Bm           C
and it makes me so happy
G                                 
   Larchmont Village smells like 
 C             G 
lilies of the valley
          Bm                  D
And the bookstore doors are opening
  C                D
And it's finally happening
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C                             Am       
Ever since I fell out of love with you 
              D          G
I fell back in love with me
     Am                 D
And, boy, does it feel sweet

Like a summer breeze
C                             Am        
Ever since I fell out of love with you 
              D              G
I fell back in love with the city
        Am7
Like thΠ΅ Paramount sign sparkling
B7               Em        Em D
   Sparkling just for me
 
[Chorus]

G                      Am         Em
You made me tradΠ΅ my violets for roses
G                        B7             C      G
You tried to trade in my new truck for horses
                           C   
Don't forget all of these things 
          Bm          Am
that you love are the same things I hate
C           D       Em
  A simple life, I chose this
G                     Am          Em
You made me trade my violets for roses
G                          B7          C
You tried to take all the pink off my toes, and
G                     C           Bm       Am
God knows the only mistake that a man can make
                        B7   
Is tryna make a woman change 
                           C
and trade her violets for roses
 

[Post-Chorus 1]
G          D
Ah-la-ha, ah-ha
           B7          C
Trade her violets for roses
G          D
Ah-la-ha, ah-ha
 
[Verse 2]
G
  There's something in the air
   Am                                    G
I hope it doesn't change, that it's for real
    Em            Bm           C
The beginning of something big happening
G
And by the murder alleys
C                    G
In the streets have ceased
               Bm                 D
And still the shadows haunt the avenue
     C           D
The silence is deafening
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C                             Am      
Ever since I fell out of love with you 
              D               G 
I fell back in love with the streets
     Am                D
And, God, does it feel sweet
Like a summer breeze
C                            Am        
Ever since I fell out of love with you 
                D      G
I breakdance to the backbeat
     Am7
And, God, does it sound sweet
          B7               Em    Em D
Like it's playing just for me
 
[Chorus]
G                     Am          Em
You made me trade my violets for roses
G                         B7              C     G
You tried to trade in my new truck for horses
                            C  
Don't forget all of these things 
          Bm               Am
that you love are the same things I hate
C           D       Em
  A simple life, I chose this
G                      Am        Em
You made me trade my violets for roses
G                          B7          C
You tried to take all the pink off my toes, and
G                     C           Bm       Am
God knows the only mistake that a man can make
                           B7   
Is tryin' to make a woman change 
                           C
and trade her violets for roses
 
[Post-Chorus]
G          D
Ah-la-ha, ah-ha
           B7          C
Trade her violets for roses
G          D
Ah-la-ha, ah-ha
           B7           C
Trade her violets for roses
G           D
(Ah-la-ha, ah-ha)
 
[Outro]
G
  There's something in the air
     Am                 Em               G
The girls are runnin' 'round in summer dresses
            Em                B           C
With their masks off and it makes me so happy
