This is how I play the song! Suggestions and corrections welcome.
(This song is very complicated, so I tried my best! Definitely not 100% right)
[Intro]
Bb
[Verse 1]
Dm First and foremost, don't let it be said F Am I am writing this at 7:10 am Dm On the hard dry tarmac of a vacant forecourt F Am Astronomically speaking, it's the first day of autumn Dm But the sun is hanging 'round like summer's hungover F Am They'll knock the garage down and build flats where I sit Dm The traffic's so persistent that it barely registers F Am And it smells like a mix between petrol and dog shit
[Chorus]
Bb Am C Dm Just let me be the one that keeps track of the moles on your back Bb F Am C I just sighed, the universe replied, "Let this pass you by"
[Verse 2]
Dm F Am Sometimes it's just enough to know I keep him on his toes Dm F Am Is he as sympathetic as me to the untimely demise of your synthetic clothes? Dm F Am I've displayed marriage proposals on the Jumbotrons of ballgames you've not been at Dm F Am I've written eulogies in guestbooks of galleries in the hope that you might pass
[Chorus]
Bb Am C Dm Just let me be the one that keeps track of the moles on your back Bb F Am C I just sighed, the universe replied, "Let this pass you by"
[Bridge]
Dm C# She, nervous and barefoot, chats to me at the front door F Am He, boyfriend, inside's a saint, becoming a martyr Dm C# Me rolling, writhing on the floor, stared daggers pulled from my thoracic wall F C Gm F C Gm Bb F Gm Bb C When I hold sea shells to my ears, I'm pretty sure I can hear you
[Verse 3]
Dm He gave a gift of the Faber Book of Love Poems F Am Dm Annotated the ones he thought applied the most
Not gonna win you round with prose
F Am If anyone should know then it's I should know (Oh-oh) F Girl, there must be a reason you let it slip Gm Went to the point of sending the message Am Six months of visceral Catherine Wheels Bb C Kissing carnivores to make it seem like less of a deal
[Chorus]
Bb Am C Dm Just let me be the one that keeps track of the moles on your back Bb F Am C I just sighed, the universe replied, "Let this pass you by"
[Bridge]
Dm C# I promise after this I will pick up the phone book F Am And choose the name that my eyes fall upon on their first look Dm C# Aim all of my poorly composed declarations there in the future F C Gm F Gm Bb I'm so sorry to have to put you through a lifetime of C Gm Dedications that you never desired
[Pre-Outro]
Dm C F Am
Dm C F Am Bb F C Am Bb F C Am And this one sentence bludgeons me over the head Dm (Okay) I'm a little bit drunk, and I mean just a little bit F No lush in denial, only rather coquettish Dm I'm fifteen years old and my parents' only son F Like I barely survived a girls' school education Gm Prettier now that you've grown your hair long Bb I'm a slip of a man since I cut mine all off
[Outro]
Dm C Bb Dm F Bb Please just let me be the one to keep track Dm C Bb Dm F Bb F Bb Of the freckles and the moles on your back
