[Verse 1]
G Em D G
Behind every great love story lies a great suicide
Em D C G
You can't give yourself completely and keep the man inside
C D Am
All the sentences I climbed halfway
C D Am
saw the heights of what I wanted to say
C D Am
and crawled from word to word
D
trying to get back down
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
G Em D G
the unending realization that it's never gonna end
Em D C G
I spend half the day exhaling and the other half holding my breath
C D Am
Cause living underwater was never my strength
C D Am
In the depths you reside, the sun never sinks
C D Am
So let’s float to the bottom for one final drink
D
There’s time for one more tonight
[Interlude]
G Em G

[Verse 3]

it’s time to forget while the forgetting’s good
Em D C G
I’ll burn all the promises I carved out of your woulds
C D Am
you said won't you come into arm's reach
C D Am
abandon your clothes and modes of speech
C D Am
an infant reborn you shall be
C G
helpless and afraid
[Bridge]

[Verse 4]
Em D G
I’m waving goodbye every time you go to the store
Em D C G
I hope you break your hand the next time you slam the door
C D Am
Because I burned my fingers every night
C D Am
When your own shaking hands wouldn’t give you a light
C D Am
And I said “Jesus Christ, my parents were right
C G
I never should’ve smoked you out”
[Interlude]
G Em G

[Verse 5]
Em D G
I’d hate to amputate this artificial limb
Em D C G
But staring at you, my glass eyes are growing dim
C D Am
I can’t even blame you for looking so smug
C D Am
I have to admit you’re a hell of a drug
C D Am
So pack up the boxes, roll me up with the rug
C G
I’m not moving out, I’m just moving
[Interlude]

[Verse 6]
Em D G
(Kissed) I kissed you, yes, but never on the mouth
Em D C
(masochist) you held the north while I conquered the south
C D Am
but I don't want a territorial breach
C D Am
so at the edge of the bed we'll meet
C D Am
and I want you to fuck me in your sleep
C G (played on bass)
it's the only way I'll know
G
that you love me
G
Cause there's always gotta be a new angle
Em D G
Guns are loaded with silver bullets tonight
Em D C G
But it’s useless, you kept me waiting until it was light
C D Am
But you can’t go out the way you came in
C D Am
In the arms of someone unaware of your sins
C D Am
Because I’ve been recording this whole fucking thing
D G
Now you can never use the same chord changes again
[Bridge]
G Am
G Em
The first time was too fast
G A
The second time was just sad
C G
[Verse 7]
Em D G
If you’re wondering why I’m still willing to take the fall
Em D C C/B G
If I’m not getting fucked over, I’m not getting fucked at all
C D Am
But I never asked for immunity
C D Am
That’s the difference between you and me
C D Am
All I wanted was someone who was just like me
C
And I hate myself for that
[Instrumental]
G G Am C
[Verse 8]
Em D G
It’s getting hard to talk about the past
Em D C G
When you’ve copyrighted the present, no questions asked
C D Am
You can do whatever you want with my name
C D Am
But my body’s never been public domain
C D Am
So if you’re looking for somebody to blame
C
Blame Walt Disney Studios

Em D G
I remember, I was walking around outside, talking to you on the phone
Em D C G
We were both avoiding the parties we attended alone
C D Am
And I looked up at the drunken moon
C D Am
It was round and it was grey and it looked like the moon
C D Am
And I said “at least we’ve both got the moon”
C G
And you said “I’m inside”
[Chorus]
C Bm Am
so I’ll try loving again
C Bm Am
and you’ll try living alone
C Bm Am
and we’ll meet at the end of this lifetime

I hate your receptionist
D
She looks at me like I’m retarded
Am
When I’m filling out your forms
G
I see your form behind the frosted glass
D
But she says that you’re not there
Am
I’ll have to be content to wait
G
If you felt some kind of stirring
D
Against interpretation
Am
Why write these songs at all?
G
Why not become didactic
D
Tell everyone on the planet

In plain English what you are

I still wish you hadn't listened to me, I ain’t been right since the execution
G D
William, one shot two shots
Am
Whoever you are, just hold me tight, I lost my love, my life, that -
G D Am
All I know is, one of us was supposed to kill the other
G D Am
Isn’t that what they mean when they say ‘lovers’?
G D Am
But murder is dirty, and peace comes cheap

So here’s my new number, tell me when you’re free
