Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

for the first part of the verse play these three chords:

Have I become bug under thumb for your scented nails to glow by?

I need out of my shirts I think you'll find attractive

this next part just alternates between the A and Gsus2:

On your hill perched so clandestine you rest like a second term president and I go

Destined to keep the crayon close and guess until my name goes red

Then back to the first three chord progression (remember it was A, Gsus2 and Em):

at whose dead half-daughters

were denied your womb on the down low

At whose half-sons come a lump in my throat

and man my fever with an army of frogs underskin

Chorus

and I don't want to dance with your shadow no more

or listen through an elephant's ear for your whispers into the other

POST CHORUS:

this part is hard to make out but it sounds alright alternating between a bm and a gsus2

like so:

My curse is the circuit that your fingers rehearse on me to quell my nerves

and my only one is for you to king me

with wavecrest and not stethoscope, with the core, not tentative as you were

choosing soup cansfrom the cupboardfor your grade school's Thanksgiving food drive, no.

Bridge

But I'm the only one pulling near clear from a melted crayon

under the comforter some man cured your goosebumps with

I'm sick and stuck on something you

Every time I see a Honda Civic my heart just jumps right through.

I do it by your nails' light but nothing comes, it's true.

And I'm caught in a pipe to smoke my own limbs off.

REPEAT CHORUS

For the fadeout over these lyrics, alternate A and Gsus2:

Another gum gut morning, Telephone restraint

He's in your bed, has he taken my place?

Another gum gut morning When i see you face-to-face

He's in your bed...
