Intro:

A  G#m  F#m  G#m  x2

Verse 1:
A
Jingles playing on the TV screen
G#m
Hot coals burning on the summer street, yeah
F#m
I love it when the sunshine hits me
                              G#m
I hate it when the cold front comes east
A
Not wired I'm just three cups deep
G#m
I can't love you if you can't love me
F#m
I'm half water and I'm half unseen
                           G#m
I'm so quiet when I do not speak
Chorus:
   F#m                           B
And oh, how you gonna fill the hole
                         E
Hiding underneath your coat?
                        C#m
How you gonna find the words for happiness?
F#m                     B
How you gonna rule the world
                       E
When you never walk the dog
                        C#m
How you gonna find the cure for emptiness?

A  G#m  F#m  F#m

Verse 2:
A
Sheets stained lilac with your menstrual blood
G#m
Streetlights shining on the both of us
F#m
I'm so happy I could blow, Π΅xplode
                              G#m
All this misery gonna shrink me cold
A
Long wind blowing through your short black hair
G#m
Fat trees waiting for a thin, brown bΠ΅ar
F#m
Voices talking on the subway steps
                         G#m
Patron saints of the cigarette

Chorus:
   F#m                           B
And oh, how you gonna fill the hole
                         E
Hiding underneath your coat?
                        C#m
How you gonna find the words for happiness?
F#m                     B
How you gonna rule the world
                       E
When you only watch the birds?
                        C#m
How you gonna find the cure for emptiness?

Outro:
F#m B Emaj7 C#m x2
