Chords with lyrics

Verse:

   G+G
See, I know a nurse specialized in the worst
        E minorEm
When you’re a friend in need, she’ll be your friend indeed
     C majorC
When you can’t find your tongue and when your rationale weeps
     D MajorD
She says uh, huh, huh

Chorus:

         E minorEm   C majorC     G+G
So why don’t you lean on me if you wanna?
        E minorEm   C majorC     G+G
Why don’t you lean on me for a while?
      G+G    D MajorD      E minorEm      C majorC
Since you only get high on the weekends, uh huh
        G+G   D MajorD   G+G
Why don’t you feed on me tonight?

Verse:

  G+G
See I know the taste of the sparks in your brains
    E minorEm
As you crawl to me, a little closer to me
        C majorC
I guess you’re in the place that I used to be baby
     D MajorD
Now it’s down to me, so simply down to me
     G+G
Oh, but I’m a fool and I fall apart too easily
   E minorEm                    C majorC
Cause you know me how I love to be with Madame Misery
              D MajorD
Come visit me, I’m on the 99th floor of apathy

Chorus:

          E minorEm   C majorC     G+G
But still you can lean on me if you wanna
        E minorEm   C majorC     G+G
Why don’t you lean on me for a while?
      G+G    D MajorD      E minorEm      C majorC
Since you only get high on the weekends, uh huh
        G+G   D MajorD   G+G
Why don’t you feed on me tonight?

Bridge:

          B minorBm
She said there will always be a soft spot
    C majorC    G+G
in my cardiac arrest
      D MajorD                B minorBm
And I will love you until I die from all of this
   C majorC               D MajorD
And something tells me I will die alone

Chorus:

          E minorEm   C majorC     G+G
But still you can lean on me if you wanna
         E minorEm   C majorC     G+G
So why don’t you lean on me for a while?
        G+G    D MajorD      E minorEm      C majorC
And since you only get high on the weekends, uh huh
        G+G   D MajorD   G+G
Why don’t you feed on me tonight?
   G+G            G/F#
(See, I know the taste of the spark in your brains
    E minorEm          C majorC
As you crawl to me a little closer to me.)
        G+G   D MajorD   G+G
Why don’t you feed on me tonight?
      G+G        G/F#

       E minorEm          C majorC
Oh won’t you crawl to me, a little closer to me?
    G+G        G/F#
Madame Misery, come and visit me
       E minorEm          C majorC
Oh won’t you crawl to me, a little closer to me?)

And baby there will always be a soft spot in my cardiac arrest
      G+G       G/F#       E minorEm  C majorC
And I will love you ‘til I die from all of this, yeah
        G+G     G/F#       E minorEm    C majorC
And there will always be a soft spot in my cardiac arrest
      G+G        D MajorD      G+G
