Amanda Palmer – Blake Says (Guitar)

  E         B      C#5       A
Blake says no one ever really loved him

           E        B      C#5           A
They just faked it to get money from the government

      E            B    C#5                 A 
And Blake thinks angels grow when you plant angel dust

      E         B      C#5               A
He shakes his head and blinks his pretty eyes, but trust me

 C#m          A
He's no valentine

           C#m              A
Though he said he would be mine

     C#m          B             F#m       A
His heart is in Alaska all the time

 C#/E       B    C#5           A
Blake stays underwater for the most part

       E            B         C#5           A
He collects loose change for all tomorrow's parties

           E          B          C#5           A
And when Blake dates girls with tattoos of the pyramids

     E            B       C#5           A
He breaks their hearts by saying it's not permanent

    C#m            A
But in his velvet mind

    C#m                   A
He believes with all his might

      C#m        B            F#m
We'll all go to Alaska when we die

E            B          C#5        A
Blake makes friends but only for a minute

     E           B       C#5             A
He prefers the things he orders from the internet

     E             B    C#5              A
And Blake's been having trouble with his head again

     E         B       C#5             A
He takes his pills but never takes his medicine

     C#m              A
He tells me that he's fine

        C#m               A
And the sad thing is he's right

     C#m              B                 A
And when it's two o'clock it feels like nine.

  E        B      C#5          A
Blake says he is sorry he got through to me

    E      B       C#5                 A              E
If it's okay he'll call right back and talk to the machine

       B       C#5            A        
Blake says it looks like acid rain today

     E        B      C#5             A
He takes the fish inside, he's very kind that way

     C#m            A
But just like Caroline

     C#m            A
He doesn't seem to mind

      C#m             B              A
The globe is getting warmer all the time

C#m            A
It's still cold in Alaska

C#m            A
It's still cold in Alaska
