Heartworms chords by The Shins

Intro:
E  G#m  D  A  B  A B
La  la  la la la


Verse 1:
E   B        D         A
Well I guess I'm just here to test your patience
E   B     G#m         A
Cause you're so smart my tricks don't work at all
E  G#m  D     A
Is it my lack of education?
   B  C#m A
Just tell me why you never call

Verse 2:
E      B       D      A
Behind your symmetry lies a fundamental difference
E     B          G#m         A
There are those who own their minds and those who call
E   G#m   D        A
No offense but, in between the lines I'm reading
E    F#m     G#m    A          B      A B
You look out for your own, and you're gonna look at me that way


Pre-Chorus:
A  E   B  A B
And it's true
  A     E
So what can I do?


Chorus:
E       B          F#m
Everything you get's slowing your affection
A
(What can I do?)
E      B        F#m
And maybe impress you with a song
A
(What can I do?)
E       B      C#m   B        A    B      A B
I'm trying to minimize the damage done cause there ain't no one like you


Break:
E  G#m  D  A


Verse 3:
E       B         D        A
I found that postcard from that trip you took to Thailand
E      B        G#m          A
I remember studying all the words written in your pretty hand
E       G#m      D        A
The little lines and little curls that held a sacred meaning
B     C#m A
Or so I thought, but I had it wrong


Verse 4:
E         B         D           A
Now I'm trying to figure out when it was you gave me these heartworms
E      B        G#m     A
I feel them wriggling in my blood, gonna do me harm
E G#m   D        A
By now I'd rather lose this losing feeling
E    F#m      G#m
That came on when you cooled off
 A              B      A B
Started treating me in this friendly way


Pre-Chorus:
A  E   B  A B
And it's true
  A     E
So what can I do?


Chorus:
E      B        F#m
Oh won't you be still for a moment
A
(What can I do?)
E        B          F#m
So I can push a feather through your heart
A
(What can I do?)
E       B      C#m   B        A    B      A B  A B  A B
I'm trying to minimize the damage done cause there ain't no one like you

  A     E
So what can I do?


Chorus:
E      B     F#m
When I get lonely to distraction
A
(What can I do?)
E    B        F#m
Maybe impress you with a song
A
(What can I do?)
E     B         C#m  B    A
No reason waiting around in your saddest dream
     B    A B
It never came true


Outro:
E  B  D  A
La la la la
E G#m D  A  B
