my best guess at how Tom plays some of these chords: F: x-8-10-10-10-8 F/Bb: 6-x-10-10-10-x F/C: 8-x-10-10-10-x
[Intro]
F Dm
[Verse 1]
F She'd a bruise so black they watched it fade through the full spectrum of colours F They kept it like a pet, a private joke they told no others F Dm F Dm F And oh, how the tissue repaired and how it turned to yellow Dm F Dm F And she found it disgusting, 'cause it didn't match her clothing Dm F Dm F Dm F Dm He said that it's not yellow, it's go-o-olden
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
F Dm Her body barely visible, as bleach-white as the bedsheets F As stiff as starched, only perceptible as her middle was still bra-anded F With a heat rash in the perfect shape of the Show-Me State Dm Your come-on lines sound disastrous Bb Noise more foreboding than volcano or earthquake
[Chorus]
F F/C F/Bb F F Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain F/C F/Bb F Shout into the wind, this'll never be the same F F/C F/Bb F F Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain F/C F/Bb Shout into the wind, this'll never be the same

F Letter from me to Charlotte F "They appropriated everything we ever loved F And dressed it up in quotations and fluff F Gm F And I had a dream, though said with hand in pockets Gm F Gm F I mean it hand on heart, you held a gun to his head Dm Gm Gm F Pressed your thumbs to her throat," in these le-tters Dm Gm F Letters from me to Charlotte
