Truce chords by The Dresden Dolls

Note: occasionally on the Cadd9 chords an extra note is added to make it go from x32030
x32031 and then back again. also during the "and special occasions..." part of the verse
is a discordant chord shift but just alter the Dsus2 chord briefly from x00230 to x00330
then back again.

Verse 1

Dsus2
you can have washington i'll take new jersey
                                        Cadd9
you can have london but i want new york city

los angeles - obvious - that's where you belong now

you can have africa asia australia
as long as you keep your hands off cafe pamplona

we can split germany right down the middle
you'd hate it there anyway
take berlin and well call it even

you can take all of the carry-on baggage
i'll trade the saskia jokes for the alphabet language

and special occasions we'll split between parents
who forced us to hate them on alternating weekends

Dsus
you call it over and i call you psycho, significant other?
                            Cadd9

Gm               Bb

my place may be taken, but make no mistake

that you've lost, that you've lost, do you know what you've lost?
