Capo 4th fret


Intro:
E MajorE E/A BB A augmentedA  E-open

First Verses:
E MajorE
  Why don't you ever wanna play
E/A
  I'm tired of this piece of string
BB
  You sleep as much as I do now and you
A augmentedA           E-open
  Don't eat much of anything

E MajorE
  I don't know who you're talking to
E/A
  I made a search through every room
BB
  But all I found was dust that moved
A augmentedA            E-open
  With shadows of the afternoon


Chorus 1:
  E MajorE
And listen
      A augmentedA
About those bitter songs you sing
      F# minorF#m
They're not helping anything
      A augmentedA    E MajorE
They won't make you strong


Second Verses:
E MajorE
  So we should open up the house
E/A
  Invite the tabby two doors down
BB
  You could ask your sister if
A augmentedA             E-open
  She doesn't bring her basset hound

E MajorE
  Asked of things you shouldn't miss
E/A
  Tape hiss and the modern man
BB
  Cold war and card catalogues
A augmentedA          E-open
  To come join us if they can

E MajorE
  For girly drinks and parlour games
E/A
  We'll pass around the easy lie
BB
  Of absolutely no regrets
A augmentedA          E-open
  And later maybe you could try

E MajorE
  To let your losses dangle off
E/A
  The sharp edge of a century
BB
  Talk about the weather or
A augmentedA          E-open
  How the weather used to be

Chorus 2:
     E MajorE
And I'll cater
       A augmentedA
With all the birds that I can kill
     F# minorF#m
Let their tiny feathers fill
  A augmentedA
Disappointment

E MajorE
Lie down
       A augmentedA
And lick the sorrow from your skin
      F# minorF#m
Scratch the terror and begin
   A augmentedA      E MajorE
To believe you're strong

E MajorE      F# minorF#m      B/G#       A augmentedA
All you ever want to do is drink and watch TV
  A/C#A/C#        E MajorE         A/A#
And frankly that thing doesn't really interest me
 E MajorE        F minorFm        F# minorF#m       A augmentedA
I swear I'm gonna bite you hard and taste your tinny blood
  A/C#A/C#        A/C      E MajorE         A/A#
If you don't stop the self-defeating lies you've been repeating
     A augmentedA                   E MajorE
Since the day you brought me home, I know you're strong
