Hitlers Girlfriend

                 Em     C
Someone left the window open,
                D  Dsus  D      C
 and cold air's slowly creepin' 
  G  C  G
in
                     Em  C
I'm sitting watching TV sitcoms,
                  D  Dsus  D    C
 where everyone is happy in the 
  G  C  G
end
                        Em       C
And I'm beginning to believe it
                    D  Dsus  D   
Some say we can get by without 
   C         G      C  G
the help of a friend
Em  C
      And I'm lying here, I'm 
remotely controlled
 Em             C
Strapped to an engine stuck on idle
                             Em  
I don't feel 'cause I fear, don't 
                C
love 'cause I lost
(don't know, don't want to know)

G          D              
I'm not myself  'til you are 
   Em                   C   
you...if I close my eyes, I'm 
      G
killing you

I carry the weight of this safety 
Em
net, so
C       G       C
I feel like Hitler's 
          G           C        G 
girlfriend...I'm blind to this 
      C        G
and numb to that

Em          C                    
   I know a girl who draws happy 
        D  Dsus  D         C  G 
faces on everything she writes
 C  G

Em              C
   She doesn't fool me...
                    D  Dsus  D   
I've seen her bag of troubles, 
             C  G  C  G
and it's not light
                          Em       
Don't you know I want to reach out,
  C
 cry for her
                        D  Dsus  
Carry the weight, but something 
D                 C         G   C  G
just won't let me leave the couch
Em  C
     There's a scream and a chain 
and a knife

And her head is full of spirits
   Em        C          Em    
I don't get too close, might get 
    C
what she got
(my foot is asleep)

Chorus

       D                  B7      
I was sprawled out at the foot of 
                       C
my bed with a rage of fire

Goin' 'round in my head...and I 
said,
  D                B7             
"Could this be the salt of the 
         C         D
earth in my tears?"

Em  C
      I was watching Miss Brown, 
some say she didn't know
Em          C
Just took another Judas' kiss now
                           Em      
Well I'm not blaming you...was 
             C
there something you could do?
(my coffee's cold)

Chorus 2x (2nd ending changes 
slightly)

     C        G
I'm blind to this and numb to that
