[Verse 1]
D6add9                       Bm11
You've seen the spots on her back
Gsus2                    D6add9
You know the salt of her tears
Gsus2                 D6add9    D6add9/C#   Bm11
The dull glow in your pocket is only ever a fear
G
That maybe sometimes it all does go wrong

D6add9 Bm11
D6add9 Bm11


[Pre-Chorus]
G5                   D6add9
But she's so goddamn loyal
D6add9/C#
And you've heard some sounds
G5      D6add9   D6add9/C#
Unhuman come out of her mouth
G5             D6add9     D6add9/C#
The vault door opened and shut
              Bm11
And you can't get out
              A9sus4   A9
Did you wanna geeeeeet out?


[Chorus]
G
Maybe like a piece of sea-glass
A
She'll smooth out all of her edges
D6add9                Bm11
And become gracefully transparent
G
Taken from the world
A
Given to the sea
D6add9        Bm11
Returned with life and history
G                    A
There's not many who would stay

So you will

D6add9 Bm11
D6add9 Bm11


[Pre-Chorus]
G5                   D6add9
But she's so goddamn loyal
D6add9/C#
And you've heard some sounds
G5      D6add9   D6add9/C#
Unhuman come out of her mouth
G5             D6add9     D6add9/C#
The vault door opened and shut
              Bm11
And you can't get out
              A9sus4   A9
Did you wanna geeeeeet out?


[Chorus]
G
Maybe like a piece of sea-glass
A
She'll smooth out all of her edges
D6add9                Bm11
And become gracefully transparent
G
Taken from the world
A
Given to the sea
D6add9        Bm11
Returned with life and history


[Outro]
Bb                   A
There's not many who would stay
Bb                   A
There's not many who would stay
Bb                   A
There's not many who would stay
            D6add9
