Capo 4th fret


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

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


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

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

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

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

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


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

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

E            F#m           B/G# 
All you ever want to do is drink
            A
 and watch TV
    A/C#               E     
And frankly that thing doesn't

  E                Fm             
I swear I'm gonna bite you hard

If you don't stop the 
   E                  A/A#    
self-defeating lies you've been 
           A
repeating since the day you brought 
me home
              E
I know you're strong
