This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

A E Bm Dsus2
I'm keeping my affair in a book
F#m7 E Dsus2-Aadd11
So this is how a villain feels
A E Bm Dsus2
They're running seasons in my chest
F#m7 E Dsus2
And I'm only to keep them
PRE-CHORUS THING: (I'm not sure if the guitar or bass does this.)

CHORUS:
A E
('Cause) Maybe it's not true
F#m7 C#m
Love on the TV
F#m7 E Dsus2
Just like we imagine it
A E
And it's so hard to do
F#m7 C#m
When there's always some distraction
F#m7 E
A shiny red balloon
Dsus2
That spoils everything
A E Bm Dsus2
I'm keeping my affair in a book
F#m7 E Dsus2-Aadd11
Such practical and harmless vice
A E Bm Dsus2
But I'm feeling it could end up painfully
F#m7 E Dsus2
And the TV should apologize
(CHORUS)GUITAR DURING KEYBOARD(?)
