Chords

(These are the official lyrics from Car Seat Headrest's Bandcamp page save for a couple of chorus verses that I swapped places around.) For the F you can play Fmaj13sus2 to match the overall melody: xx3030 [Intro] A G A G G F G Em7 [Verse 1]
A        G
If I can fit my dreams

A                       G
You say the same things over and over

G          F
Into an AB AB rhyme scheme

G                       Em7
You say the same things over and over

A                G
Love is a way of passing on our genes

A                          G
Love is because we want to further our genes

G                          F
God is a scientist, he's just found out about us

     G                           Em7
He's published a study but he don't know much about us
[Chorus]
A            G       Gmaj7/F#         Em7
When I die I won't become a ghost         

             F#m
Because I’ll have nowhere to haunt

A                  G       Gmaj7/F#        Em7
Fuck this town and fuck my dirty hands

                             F#m                             A   G Gmaj7/F# Em7 F#m
When you're strange if they like you then they gotta be stranger

                     A      G Gmaj7/F# Em7 F#m
But they're just strangers
[Verse 2]
A                     G
Society wants me to fuck, well fuck 'em

A                 G
  Car Seat is a genetic stop sign

G             F      
I sleep lying next to a mirror

G             Em7
Car Seat is a menace to the public

A                G
Love is a way of advancing our species

A                          G
Love is because we want to keep up our species

G                       F
God is a director, he's just found out about us

     G                             Em7
He's talked to our agents but he don't know much about us
[Chorus]
A            G       Gmaj7/F#         Em7
When I die I won't become a ghost         

             F#m
Because I’ll have nowhere to haunt

A                  G       Gmaj7/F#        Em7
Fuck this town and fuck my dirty hands

                             F#m                 A     G Gmaj7/F# Em7 F#m
When you're strange then the critics gotta be stranger

                    A      G Gmaj7/F# Em7 F#m
But they're just strangers
[Bridge]
                A      G Gmaj7/F# Em7 F#m
They're just strangers

Car Seat's nervous and the lights are bright

F#m                        Esus4             E
When I was a kid I fell in love with Michael Stipe

       D                                  A
I took lyrics out of context and thought

"He must be speaking to me"

D    A    F#m    Esus4 E
   oohoohooh …

D    A    F#m    Esus4 E
   oohoohooh …

D    A    F#m    Esus4 E
   oohoohooh …

D    A    F#m    Esus4 E
   oohoohooh …

D                     A
I won't last too much longer

    F#m                 E                     D
I'm already starting to run out of places for faces in my head

         F#m                      Esus4        E
They're all starting to look the same

D                     A
I won't last too much longer

    F#m                 E                     D
I'm already starting to run out of places for faces in my head

         F#m                      Esus4        E
They're all starting to look the same

D    A    F#m    Esus4 E
   oohoohooh …

   oohoohooh …
