[Intro, 0:00] [Pattern 1] B5 Esus2 Gbsus4 Abm7 E9sus4 B5 Esus2 Gbsus4 Abm7 E9sus4 B5 Esus2 Gbsus4 Abm7 E9sus4 B5 Esus2 Gbsus4 Abm7 E9sus4 [Pattern 2] Esus2 Gbsus4 Abm Esus2 Gbsus4 Abm Esus2 Gbsus4 Abm [Verse 1, 0:44] [Pattern 1]
                 B5
Let's talk about you for a minute

         Esus2
With the vomit at your gullet

         Gbsus4                         Abm7            E9sus4
From the half bottle of vodka that you'd stolen from the optic

       B5                                Esus2
On the back seat of your car, because it wasn't safe to start it

          Gbsus4                             Abm7           E9sus4
You were "far too fucked to drive", were the words that you imparted

        B5                Esus2                 Gbsus4           Abm7 E9sus4
And the woolen dress that clung so tight to the contours of your body

        B5                  Esus2          Gbsus4         Abm7   E9sus4
And the dead grass stuck to fibers from us rolling in the lay-by

     B5                   Esus2
Were passed to dog-haired blankets

        Gbsus4               Abm7    E9sus4
That protected the back seat covers

      B5           Esus2               Gbsus4         Abm7   E9sus4
And a crucifix was hung from rear view mirror by your mother

[Bridge, 2:01] [Pattern 4]
    G#5                   G5        B5             Bb5
I'm leaving my body to science, not medical but physics

G#5                      G5       B5                      Bb5
Drag my corpse to the airport and lay me limp on the left wing

G#5                            G5                B5                                   Bb5
Drop me from the highest point and trace a line around the dent I leave in the ground

G#5               G5                     B5                Bb5
That'll be the initial of the one you'll marry now I'm not around

           A5
I flew for seven hours, the sky didn't once turn black
[Verse 3, 2:34] [Pattern 5] This section is seemingly random picking around the notes in these chords. B E Gb G# E B E Gb G# E
             B                   E              Gb G# E
You know I'd sooner go down in a ball of flames

             B                     E        Gb
Than I would sit here and be bored to death

      G#   E
All's well that ends
[Verse 4, 3:03] [Pattern 1] B5 Esus2 Gbsus4 Abm7 E9sus4 B5 Esus2 Gbsus4 Abm7 E9sus4
  B5                  Esus2              Gbsus4          Abm7   E9sus2
I wake from sleep, my head and shoulders, wet against the window

  B5                   Esus2             Gbsus4              Abm7       E9sus2
A frost had formed and melted, soaked me right through to my collarbone

B5                    Esus2               Gbsus4             Abm7 E9sus2
If you were given the option of dying painlessly in peace at 45

           B5            Esus2         Gbsus4         Abm7 E9sus2
But with a lover at your side, after a full and happy life

B5      Esus2                Gbsus4       Abm7 E9sus2
Is this something that would interest you?

B5         Esus2           Gbsus4 Abm7 E9sus2
Would this interest you at all?
B
