Intro: F# C# x2

F#        C#          F#   C#
Called to see if your back was still aligned
         F#          C#
and your sheets were growing grass
           B                     C#
all on the corners of your bed
    F#             C#                   F#
But you've got too much to wear on your sleeves
       C#                  F#
it has too much to do with me
    C#                 B                C#
and secretly I want to bury in the yard
    Ebm               E          F#      C#
the grey remains of a friendship scarred

F# C# x2, F# C# B C#
   
2nd verse same

Bridge: slide back in forth between E5 and D5 chords

F# C# x2

    F#          C#       B              C#
You tested your metal of doe's skin and petals
      F#          C#
while kissing the lipless
    B             C#        Ebm   E 
who bleed all the sweetness away

outro: B C# Ebm E x 3 end on F#
