Verse 1:
D        G
I made my bed in flowers
D        G
Grew basil in my hair
D           G
I must have walked for hours
D           G
Halfway to who knows where
D          G
God knows I'm only human
D      G
I get so inhumane
D       G
So I take my lithium
D         G
I feel like Kurt Cobain

Chorus:
             Bm     A
What if I'm nothing but a cardiac-arresting sweetheart
G             A    Bm
A half run-over cat left in the street
         A
And you're the maggot craving
G          A       D
Rotten flesh left outside in the heat


D G D G

Verse 2:
D            G
I don't need support 'cause I've got
D      G
My underwire bra
D       G
You're into rigor mortis
D        G
Ain't that against the law?


Chorus:
                Bm     A
Unless you tell them I'm your cardiac-arresting sweetheart
G             A  Bm
Half run-over cat left in the street
        A
You're just a maggot craving
G           A      D
Rotten flesh left outside in the heat

D G D G x2

Verse 3:
D             Em
What's your best secret? You can trust me
    D           G
You're hanging beside me on the same tight clothesline
D              Em
Here's my best secret: I keep hoping I'm not
Bm          Gm
Dirty laundry 'til my tears all soak in

D             Em
What's your best secret? You can trust me
    D                 G
You're hanging beside me on the same tight clothesline
D                Em
Here's my best secret: I keep hoping that I'm not
Bm           Gm
Dirty laundry 'til my tears all soak in
    Gm
'Til my tears all soak in
