Chords
I found her walk ups / piano riff in the chorus difficult to translate to guitar; i think the best way to do
it is play as sliding bar chords but you could also play as single notes on the low E. Either work so long as
you're putting some good rhythm into it

[Intro]
G Em6 Cmaj7 A7 x2
[Verse]
G Em6 You didn't see my valentine Cmaj7 A7 I sent it via pantomime G Em6 While you were watchin' someone else Cmaj7 A7 I stared at you and cut myself Em A7 It's all I'll do 'cause I'm not free Am7b5 Em F# A fugitive too dull to flee G Em6 I'm amorous but out of reach Cmaj7 A7 A still life drawing of a peach
[Chorus]
Em A7 I'm a tulip in a cup Am7b5 F F# I stand no chance of growing up G Em6 I've made my peace I'm dead, I'm done Cmaj7 A7 I watched you live to have my fun G Em6 I root for you, I love you B7 F F# You, you, you, you
B7 F F# X2
G Em6 I root for you, I love you A7 You, you, you, you
[Verse]
G Em6 I made it to a dinner date Cmaj7 A7 My teardrops seasoned every plate G Em6 I tried to dance but lost my nerve Cmaj7 A7 I cramped up in the learning curve
~spooky sounds~
[final chorus]
Em A7 I'm a tulip in a cup Am7b5 F F#* I stand no chance of growing up G Em6 I'm resigned to sail on through Cmaj7 A7 In the wake of tales of you G Em6 I root for you, I love you B7 F F# B7 F F# You, you, you, you G Em6 I root for you, I love you Cmaj7 You, you, youuuuu G Em6 I root for youuu, I love you B7 F F# B7 F F# You, you, you, youyou.... G Em6 I root for you, I love you Cmaj7 You, you, youuuu
