     G                     Bm
Oh, honeybear, honeybear, honeybear, oooh...

   Em
Mascara, blood, ash, and cum

        F#7
on the Rorschach sheets where we make love.

 G                     Bm
Honeybear, honeybear, honeybear, oooh...

 Em
Fuck the world, damn straight malaise.

       F#7
It may be just us who feel this way.
[Verse 2]
     D#dim7       G
But don't ever doubt this,

    Em
my steadfast conviction.

    D#dim7              G
My love, you're the one I want to

 Em
watch the ship go down with.

     D#dim7             G
The future can't be real, I barely

 Em
know how long a moment is.
[Verse 3]
   E                       Cmaj7
Unless we're naked getting high on the mattress

           D#dim7            G
while the global market crashes.

   Cmaj7                                D#dim7    G
As debt fills the streets with garden variety oblivious.

     D7
You grab my hand and say in I-told-you-so voice:

     B7          Cmaj7
"It's just how we expected."
[Chorus]
Bm            Em      Esus4   Em
Everything is doomed.

     D                Cmaj7   Cmaj7
And nothing will be spared.

       D#dim7            G    Bm   Em   F#7
But I love you, honeybear.

     G                     Bm               Em    F#7
Oh, honeybear, honeybear, honeybear, oooh, oooh...
[Verse 4]
        D#dim7           G
You're bent over the altar

         Em             Esus4  Em
and the neighbors are complaining

          D#dim7              G
that the misanthropes next door

              Em
are probably conceiving a Damien.

           D#dim7               G
Don't they see the darkness rising?

           Em      Esus4   Em
Good luck fingering oblivion.
[Verse 5]
       E                      Cmaj7
We're getting out now while we can.

                               D#dim7                     G
You're welcome boys, have the last of the smokes and chicken.

          Cmaj7
Just one Cadillac will do to get us

D#dim7                 G
out to where we're going.

      D7
I brought my mother's depression, you've got your father's scorn

       B7            Cmaj7   Cmaj7
and a wayward and schizophrenia.
Bm Em Em Bm Cmaj7 Cmaj7 [Chorus]
     Bm            Em   Em
But everything is fine.

       D          Cmaj7   Cmaj7
Don't give into despair,

          D#dim7             G
'cause I love you     honeybear.
Bm Em F#7
     G                     Bm               Em    F#7
Oh, honeybear, honeybear, honeybear, oooh, oooh...
G Bm Em F#7 (repeat and fade out)
