hope this is easy to follow , the rhythm of the song is easy , when you know it . listen to
a live version or a recording for the timing . play the chords high on the neck , ie
barre chord B and A , 5th root barre F#m , D and E . in the verse , the F#m and D are an
upstrum , listen to it and you’ll see what i mean . hope it helps , i’ve literally just spent 20
mins working it out , i think it’s 100% . i’m not sure about the lyrics in the last part
though : D

B – F#m A D B – F#m
i finally had all my ducks in a row
A D
B F#m A D B F#m
peace and quiet by means of subtraction .
A D
B F#m A D B F#m
and how she got in , i’m not sure that i know .
A D
B F#m A D B F#m
two weeks on and my spine was in traction
A D
my eyes in a basket .

B F#m A D x4

B F#m A D B F#m
my gut and my heart are so out of phase
A D
B F#m A D B F#m
and that kind of girl she ain’t nobody’s daughter
A D
B F#m A D B F#m
i’m just not used to these powerful waves
A D
B F#m A D B F#m
she’s shining the brass and i’m taking on water
A D
what Am i to do now?

D E D E
i call on a beautiful witch
D E D E B F#m
with a moral compass bait and switch
A D

B F#m a dx 3

then ( no guitar , but if you want to play , use the same chords as previous verses B F#m A D )

hide from my psychic derailer
drive this car to the sea
spend this night as high as i can
up a towering hemlock

B F#m A D B F#m
but it’s no use i can always be found
A D
B F#m A D B F#m
a creature of habit has no real protection
A D
B F#m A D B F#m
i tell her i’ll leave if she don’t settle down
A D
B F#m A D B F#m
she sees it’s a lie on closer inspection
A D
like everyone else does

( no clue what the lyrics to this section are , album not out for another week , so i’m
taking ones i found online! )

D E D E
the running a terrible chomp
D E D E
all this smoke in

F#m B
my eyes .
F#m B
i’m just a simple man
F#m B
cursed with an honest heart
D E B
why’d she go and tear it all apart?

B F#m A D x8

then

D E D E
the running a terrible chomp
D E D E
all this smoke in

F#m B
my eyes .
F#m B
i’m just a simple man
F#m B
cursed with an honest heart
D E B
why’d she go and tear it all apart?
