Chord Progression: Em-C-G-D (each repeated twice).
I added some personal differences in the second half of the song but feel
free to simply follow the pattern.



🎸 Verse 1:
     E minorEm   E minorEm     C majorC   C majorC     G+G    G+G    D MajorD     D MajorD
There’s been a stain in the carpet since the day our father took those pills
  E minorEm    E minorEm  C majorC  C majorC   G+G   G+G  D MajorD  D MajorD
And nothing’s felt real since then
  E minorEm   E minorEm    C majorC   C majorC   G+G    G+G   D MajorD    D MajorD
We haven't seen the ocean since two days after we were born
  E minorEm   E minorEm   C majorC      C majorC     G+G  G+G  D MajorD  D MajorD
And now you say you wish they’d thrown you in

🎸 Pre-Chorus 1:
  E minorEm      C majorC         G+G        D MajorD
The red and white stripes above our bed have started tearing
  E minorEm    C majorC        G+G       D MajorD
And I’m just waiting for the stars to fall through
       E minorEm        C majorC       G+G         D MajorD
They let this town fall down around us like we always thought it would
    E minorEm        C majorC     G+G      D MajorD
But we never left, even though we knew


🎸 Chorus:
E minorEm   E minorEm  C majorC   C majorC   G+G   G+G    D MajorD   D MajorD
You and I are not in love, we are just the same
   E minorEm   E minorEm  C majorC   C majorC   G+G    G+G    D MajorD    D MajorD
Two children in a motel making love in our own grave
  E minorEm   E minorEm  C majorC     C majorC     G+G      G+G     D MajorD    D MajorD
And we are not embarrassed, but we’re filled with worms and dirt
    E minorEm   E minorEm C majorC     C majorC   G+G    G+G   D MajorD  D MajorD
We were better off dying with her at birth


🎸 Verse 2:
      E minorEm    E minorEm    C majorC    C majorC    G+G    G+G    D MajorD   D MajorD
And I don’t care what girls you hurt as long as you come home to me
    E minorEm   E minorEm  C majorC C majorC  G+G  G+G  D MajorD  D MajorD
’Cause I can’t be alone for long
       E minorEm    E minorEm   C majorC    C majorC    G+G  G+G    D MajorD    D MajorD
You would’ve died if I didn’t hide you when the army came to take you
    E minorEm    E minorEm    C majorC    C majorC  G+G   G+G  D MajorD  D MajorD
You can try, but you can’t tell me I’m wrong

🎸 Pre-Chorus 2:
E minorEm              D MajorD
You’re the only one I’ll let touch me
    G+G             C majorC    D MajorD
’Cause no one makes me feel safe like you do
     E minorEm      C majorC     G+G      D MajorD
All these dreams of violation starting to come true
      E minorEm      C majorC     G+G     D MajorD
Deep down
I don't wanna say no to you, no to you


🎸 Chorus:

E minorEm   E minorEm  C majorC   C majorC   G+G   G+G    D MajorD   D MajorD
You and I are not in love, we are just the same
   E minorEm   E minorEm  C majorC   C majorC   G+G    G+G    D MajorD    D MajorD
Two children in a motel making love in our own grave
  E minorEm   E minorEm  C majorC     C majorC     G+G      G+G     D MajorD    D MajorD
And we are not embarrassed, but we’re filled with worms and dirt
    E minorEm   E minorEm C majorC     C majorC   G+G    D MajorD
We were better off dying with her at birth
