Verse 1

Em                             B7
Petite Mort, I'm asking for an answer
C              Cm/A           G        D
Petite Mort, you sang until you slept
Am               D7                 Em        E
Petite Mort, you took yourself, you bastard
C/G              D                     G        B7
Petite Mort, the sleeping's all that's left

    Em                         B7
You took apart the sympathetic angle
         C              Cm/A         G      D
When you catered to the bitterness inside
Am                   D7                Em        E
Resigned yourself to depths I couldn't handle
  C/G           D                 G
A million daily deaths before you die


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

C/G
    Gathered a bouquet
              Em
Of roses and posies
                    A7
And straightened my tie
       C/G                 G               Main Riff
When I got there, you were nowhere I could find


Verse 2

        Em                      B7
Through layer after layer of subconscious
  C            Cm/A          G        D
I hunted for a reason in the woods
  Am             D7              Em        E
I tore apart the map and started backwards
  C/G              D                G        B7
I couldn't picture living there for good

  Em                                B7
I left you there to finish starting fires
      C                 Cm/A           G        D
And I left you there to propagate your lie
  Am                 D7           Em        E
I left you there cos honey, I was tired
  C/G               D               G
I left you but that doesn't make it right


Chorus

C/G
    I remember your bedroom
        Em
Ivy and clover
            A7
You kept me alive
       C/G                G               Main Riff
Knives drawn, the butcher world waited outside


Verse 3

    Em                             B7
Now Petite Mort, I'm asking for an answer
    C                Cm/A           G        D
Now Petite Mort, you sang until you slept
    Am               D7                 Em        E
Now Petite Mort, you took yourself, you bastard
    C/G              D                     G        B7
Now Petite Mort, the sleeping's all that's left

   Em                       B7                      C           Cm/A        G           D
