Chords

This acoustic version is pretty simple but sounds really close to the actual thing. I pretty much got this down from watching people's covers on Youtube that were really good. A# 577655 G# 466544

C#m 446654
B#? 799877

I'm not sure if its a B, but the finger positions are correct. I play without a capo because my voice is deeper, but if you're a girl, I'd probably put a capo on the 2nd fret to better fit the voice.

    A#    G#
I awake alone

      C#m            B#
in a woman's room I hardly know.

    A#   G#
I awake alone

     C#m               B#
and pretend that I am finally home.

    A#        G#
The room is littered

          C#m        B#
with her books and notebooks

    A#     G#
I imagine what they say, like,

 C#m            B#
"Shoo fly don't bother me."

 A#               G#               C#m
I can hardly get myself out of the bed

    B#     A#              G#       C#m
for fear of never lying in this bed again.

    B#         A#  G#   C#m  B#
Oh Christ, I'm not that desperate.

   A#     G#     C#m
Oh no, oh God. I am.

A#, G#, C#m, B#(x3) How'd I end up here to begin with? I don't know. Why do I start what I can't finish? Oh please don't barrage me with the questions to all those ugly answers. My ego's like my stomach, it keeps shitting what I feed it. But maybe I don't want to finish anything anymore. Maybe I can wait in bed 'til she comes home and whispers, "You're in my web now, I've come to wrap you up tight 'til it's time to bite down." I awake alone in a woman's room I hardly know. I awake alone and pretend that I am finally home. ---That's just about the gist of it. You keep playing the same chords over again, but if you need any help, email me at [email protected]
