Verse 1:
D MajorD         D/C#
 A augmentedA can of cola, an unfilled bathtub
G+G
 For dirty bodies and storing empties
D MajorD            D/C#
 The land-line's nagging, the mail is scattered on the floor
G+G
 And through a keyhole of a triple bolted door

A augmentedA        G+G            D MajorD   D/C#
 It's melodrama, its confused chemicals
E minorEm        Em/F#  G+G
  It's dirty laundry,   its empty Styrofoam.

(Repeat Intro Riff)

Verse 2:
D MajorD         D/C#
 The Giants won and all the firecracker shells
G+G
  Are littering the street and I don't give a shit.
D MajorD           D/C#
 My shoes ran off somewhere and I haven't even
G+G
Cared to organize a search. My ball of nerves

A augmentedA         G+G
 Don't mistake me
   B minorBm                 A augmentedA
I'll refuse you if you choose to track me down.
E minorEm         Em/F# G+G
  And don't you make me  leave

Bridge*:
      D MajorD         Asus4Asus4
Without wishing you well 'til I return
     E minor 7Em7         G+G
From my brief sojourn to the center of the earth
  D MajorD           Asus4Asus4         E minor 7Em7
As far as I tell you it's not as bad as all of that
G+G
 And I promise not to be reckless
 B minorBm        A augmentedA
Oh heart of mine, heart of mine
     G+G
It's your face that brings me back every time.

(Repeat Intro Riff)

D MajorD          D/C#       G+G
 It's dirty laundry,  its empty Styrofoam.

*Heres the chords/basic idea of the finger plucked Bridge part:
(The second time through the E minor 7Em7 and G+G are just strummed)
  D MajorD               Asus4Asus4

The Intro Riff is played throughout the first and second verses.
There are a few live/solo versions where she plays with the capo on the 8th fret (fyi).
I hope this is helpful.
