Guitar chords with lyrics

verse
E    F#m     E      F#m
                you know what's
E    F#m     E      F#m
Wrong   with me you know
   A  B A           B
Phrenology.     you saw my
C#m   E
Injury          you can
A                          B
Tell just by looking at my skull

      G    D        C
Contrecoup, on the  rebound
      G    D        C
Contrecoup hurt me again
        C          G        D            G
And the second was worse by far than the first,
          C            B
'cause it made me limerent
verse
E   F#m  E    F#m
              when my
E   F#m  E     F#m
Head was hit I bounced
A   E     A   E
Away from it. or as
C#m                  E
Someone who is craniosophic would say
A                           B
The brain went the opposite way

      G    D        C
Contrecoup, on the  rebound
      G    D        C
Contrecoup hurt me again
        C          G        D            G
And the second was worse by far than the first,
          C         G       D            G
Cause the first one woke my feelings for you
         C          G       D        G
But the  contrecoup made my words  untrue
          C            B
'cause it made me limerent

Bridge
            Am
Which is to say, how it goes
           Am7          C
Couched in terms no one knows
                          C7
And as if the choice were slim
      C          D
As if there's no synonym

E    F#m     E      F#m
Wrong   with me you know

Phrenology.     you saw my
C#m   E
Injury          you can
A                          B
Tell just by looking at my skull

      G    D        C
Contrecoup, on the  rebound
      G    D        C
Contrecoup hurt me again
        C          G        D            G
And the second was worse by far than the first,
           C          G             D           G
Though the impulse is strong, the connection is weak
      C            G           D          G
And I know what to say, but forgot how to speak
        C            B
When it made me limerent
