the chords are played on the bottom three strings , all sxxy funky style , but i
tried my best to tab them out for acoustic playing . some are a little
questionable , let me know what you think . also , the internet’s lyrics
transcriptions are pretty terrible . i’m pretty confident in these . counting is
written in on some syncopated parts , but verse chords are each a measure long ,
just listen to the song for how the lyrics fit over them .
intro : A# Dm C A# , x 4
A# Dm C A#
so now she’s turning a corner , wants to leave me again
A# Dm C A#
though it’s sad i really should warn her , you can only break up so many times
Gm Dm Gm Dm
before losing us to absurdity , without becoming forced to call she said :
D#m A#m D# A#m
how can we continue? if you’re telling the truth , then i still don’t believe you

A# Dm C A#
so now she’s getting tired , wondering if it’s a peak or precipice
A# Dm C A#
and just how to labor forward , when her man is a mess , and never there
Gm Dm Gm Dm
though it’s sad being apart , but it’s much worse together in silence , because
D#m A#m
more than just civility , we need
D#m A#m
laughter , happiness , madness , anything

our love is senile , like a blind child bumping into walls
say it’s not guilt keeping us together , how can we support each other’s wills
our love is senile , like we don’t recognize each other
somehow we’ve relapsed to being strangers
we’re scuttling reptiles in our sacred realm
Gm Dm Gm Dm
now it’s time to play the socialist , and protect our little chick from our

problems and confusion , this evasiveness is no solution
instrumental x 4
