Artist: Jeff Rosenstock
Song: Twinkle
Album: I Look Like Shit
This song is largely piano centered, especially in the intro and first verse.
I transcribed this from a reddit post I found online in which the song sections were
translated into chords.
All credit goes to reddit users /u/jrndmmn, with major corrections by /u/pianoboy and minor
corrections by /u/reznet. The original post can be found here:

I made minor changes to a couple of chords to what I thought sounded better when played on
a single acoustic guitar.

[Verse]
C G C While you were asleep F Am Em Am Pulled my hood to block the light from the TV C7 Dm Dm7 Turned the volume up to distract me from constant noises G F Em Dm C Leaking under the apartment door G C It doesn't help F Am Em Am I get up and I crawl out and don't hear more C7 Dm Dm7 Make a barricade of full trash bags and empty boxes G F Em Dm Perched behind them, closely watching

[Verse]
C G C While you were asleep F Am Em Am On the couch, watching a movie, smoking weed C7 Dm Dm7 Rummaging through the utensils in the kitchen counter, G F Em Dm In the drainer, which one's sharper. C G C When the light creeps in F Am Em Am loosen my grip and crawl back into my bed. C7 Dm Dm7 Your alarm is set to go off in a half an hour. G F Em Dm Eyes closed. Fake snore. None the wiser.
[Chorus]
C G C F Dm Victoria made me happy C#dim Dm7 G C Now I can only be scared G/B G/Bb A7 And people tell me that time can fix the wound. Dm But that's crap. Dm7/C G 'Cause she's not coming back G C And life's unfair. G C F Dm I'm always anxious and worried. C#dim Dm7 G C I'm always freaked out and scared. G/B G/Bb A7 And people tell me that time can fix the wound. Dm But that's crap. Dm7/C G Vicki's not coming back. G And I scream
[Bridge]
Dm G "Why did I get left behind?" Em A I know it's an exaggeration Dm G to say I would rather die than Em A Dm share this place with people capable G E7 of inspiring such fear and hopelessness Am Am/C G that I'm frozen in my bed... F but that sums it up.
[Verse]
C G C Teenage halloween F Am Em Am Hot safety pins in nozzles of shaving cream C7 Dm Dm7 Spend the evening spraying cars, toilet papering houses G F Em Dm What's the harm in smashing pumpkins? C G C Decades on, with kids F Am Em And I don't let them stay out past dark. Am C7 Dm I sit on the front porch with a shotgun Dm7 While they're upstairs sleeping. G F Total darkness. Em Dm Love. Protection.
[Chorus]
