E minorEm               B7B7
Petite Mort, I'm asking for an answer
C majorC       Cm/A      G+G    D MajorD
Petite Mort, you sang until you slept
A minorAm        D7D7         E minorEm    E MajorE

Petite Mort, the sleeping's all that's left

  E minorEm             B7B7
You took apart the sympathetic angle
     C majorC       Cm/A     G+G   D MajorD
When you catered to the bitterness inside
A minorAm          D7D7        E minorEm    E MajorE
Resigned yourself to depths I couldn't handle
 C/GC/G      D MajorD         G+G
A augmentedA million daily deaths before you die

Chorus
(Play the first four bars of the intro during the first four chords of each chorus.)

C/GC/G
  Gathered a bouquet
       E minorEm
Of roses and posies
          A7A7
And straightened my tie
    C/GC/G         G+G        Main Riff
When I got there, you were nowhere I could find


Verse 2

    E minorEm           B7B7
Through layer after layer of subconscious
 C majorC      Cm/A     G+G    D MajorD
I hunted for a reason in the woods
 A minorAm       D7D7       E minorEm    E MajorE
I tore apart the map and started backwards
 C/GC/G       D MajorD        G+G    B7B7
I couldn't picture living there for good

 E minorEm                B7B7
I left you there to finish starting fires
   C majorC         Cm/A      G+G    D MajorD
And I left you there to propagate your lie
 A minorAm         D7D7      E minorEm    E MajorE
I left you there cos honey, I was tired
 C/GC/G        D MajorD        G+G
I left you but that doesn't make it right


Chorus

C/GC/G
  I remember your bedroom
    E minorEm
Ivy and clover
      A7A7
You kept me alive

Knives drawn, the butcher world waited outside
