[Verse 1]
D6add9 Bm11Bm11
You've seen the spots on her back
Gsus2Gsus2 D6add9
You know the salt of her tears
Gsus2Gsus2 D6add9 D6add9/C# Bm11Bm11
The dull glow in your pocket is only ever a fear
G+G
That maybe sometimes it all does go wrong
D6add9 Bm11Bm11
D6add9 Bm11Bm11
[Pre-Chorus]
G5G5 D6add9
But she's so goddamn loyal
D6add9/C#
And you've heard some sounds
G5G5 D6add9 D6add9/C#
Unhuman come out of her mouth
G5G5 D6add9 D6add9/C#
The vault door opened and shut
Bm11Bm11
And you can't get out
A9sus4A9sus4 A9A9
Did you wanna geeeeeet out?
[Chorus]
G+G
Maybe like a piece of sea-glass
A augmentedA
She'll smooth out all of her edges
D6add9 Bm11Bm11
And become gracefully transparent
G+G
Taken from the world
A augmentedA
Given to the sea
D6add9 Bm11Bm11
Returned with life and history
G+G A augmentedA
There's not many who would stay
So you will
D6add9 Bm11Bm11
D6add9 Bm11Bm11
[Pre-Chorus]
G5G5 D6add9
But she's so goddamn loyal
D6add9/C#
And you've heard some sounds
G5G5 D6add9 D6add9/C#
Unhuman come out of her mouth
G5G5 D6add9 D6add9/C#
The vault door opened and shut
Bm11Bm11
And you can't get out
A9sus4A9sus4 A9A9
Did you wanna geeeeeet out?
[Chorus]
G+G
Maybe like a piece of sea-glass
A augmentedA
She'll smooth out all of her edges
D6add9 Bm11Bm11
And become gracefully transparent
G+G
Taken from the world
A augmentedA
Given to the sea
D6add9 Bm11Bm11
Returned with life and history
[Outro]
