In Medias Res by Los Campesinos

Chords with lyrics

This is how I play the song! Suggestions and corrections welcome!
Watching this video: "Los Campesinos - In Medias Res (Mosaic Music Festival Singapore 2012)"
on youtube really helped me figure it out.
The lyrics in parenthesis are from the "All's Well That Ends" version, but the chords are the same
in both songs. It's also a little easier to hear the chord changes in that version in some parts too.

Verse 1:

           Chord diagramBB
But let's talk about you for a minute
      Chord diagramE MajorE
With the vomit at your gullet
    Chord diagramF#F#               Chord diagramG# minorG#m       Chord diagramE MajorE
From a half bottle of vodka that we'd stolen from the optic
    Chord diagramBB                 Chord diagramE MajorE
On the back seat of your car, because it wasn't safe to start it
     Chord diagramF#F#                 Chord diagramG# minorG#m        Chord diagramE MajorE
You were "far too fucked to drive", were the words that you imparted
      Chord diagramBB         Chord diagramE MajorE           Chord diagramF#F#       Chord diagramG# minorG#m  Chord diagramE MajorE
And the woollen dress that clung so tight to the contours of your body
     Chord diagramBB          Chord diagramE MajorE       Chord diagramF#F#      Chord diagramG# minorG#m  Chord diagramE MajorE
And the dead grass stuck to fibres from us rolling in the lay-by
    Chord diagramBB           Chord diagramE MajorE
Were passed to dog-haired blankets
    Chord diagramF#F#           Chord diagramG# minorG#m  Chord diagramE MajorE
That protected the bench seat covers
     Chord diagramBB     Chord diagramE MajorE          Chord diagramF#F#      Chord diagramG# minorG#m  Chord diagramE MajorE
And a crucifix was hung from rear view mirror by your mother

 All's well that ends.)

But with a lover at your side, after a full and happy life
