Suggested voicings:
D/C# x40232
Gadd+11 3x0423
(Use thumb for G in the bass)
Gadd+11/D* xx0423
*I tend to play Gadd+11/D in the first Verse and Chorus, then shift to Gadd+11 with the G in the bass.
Live at least, Lucy plays this in D tuning and just plays these shapes higher up the neck.
Dynamics and voicings are important for this track, as the song builds and gathers emotion, add in bass notes,
hammer ons / pull offs (from Dmaj to D for instance) to enhance the effect.
This is also essentially a two part song, after the last [Chorus] we switch from the key of D to A.
Power chords and barre chords work well here, as it is heavier and more intense than the first section.
In the [Refrain], use barre chords and slide up from E when you switch to A at the 5th fret:
e|--------0/5--------|
B|--------0/5--------|
G|--------1/6--------|
D|--------2/7--------|
A|--------2/7--------|
E|--------0/5--------|
For the [Solo], turn up the gain and throw in some higher notes with your pinky:
e|---5------5---5----|
B|---5--7-----7------|
G|---6---------------|
D|---7---------------|
A|---7---------------|
E|---5---------------|
[Intro]
D D/C# D Gadd+11
[Verse 1]
D D/C# E D D/C# Gadd+11
The first time I tasted somebody else's spit, I had a coughing fit
D D/C# E
I mistakenly called them by your name
D D/C# Gadd+11
I was let down, it wasn't the same
D D/C# E D D/C#
I'm doing fine, trying to derail my one track mind
Gadd+11 D
Regaining my self-worth in record time
D/C# E D D/C# Gadd+11
But I can't help but think of your other in the bed that was mine
D D/C# E D
Am I a masochist, resisting urges to punch you in the teeth
D/C# Gadd+11
Call you a bitch and leave?
D D/C# E
Why did I come here? To sit and watch you stare at your feet?
D D/C# Gadd+11
What was the plan? Absolve your guilt and shake hands?
[Chorus]
D D/C#
I feel no need to forgive but I might as well
D Gadd+11
But let me kiss your lips so I know how it felt
D D/C# E
Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down
Gadd+11 F#
Walk for hours in the dark feeling all hell
[Instrumental Break]

Don't deserve what you say you love and then neglect
D D/C# E D D/C# Gadd+11
Now bite your tongue, it's too dangerous to fall so young

Take back what you said
E D D/C# Gadd+11
Can't lose what you never had
[Chorus]
D D/C#
I feel no need to forgive but I might as well
