Chords

I got the chords from the acoustic version that Wilbur posted on reddit (r/lvjy), and was reuploaded by The strumming pattern is a bit confusing so watch the video for it, but it's essentially a bunch of up and down strokes with mutes in between.

Dm 
Got a pen and a napkin
Name a number you want
Bb                       Gm
Wish i knew all the maths, to figure out hard sums

Dm
Haven't seen you in weeks
Plumbing the same dive bars
Bb                 Gm
With the prettiest patrons
From the street view car [Prechorus]
Dm
If your up and down
If your down and out
Bb
I can be your lifeline

Gm
You can throw me out

Dm
If your love runs dry
I can go without
Bb
Pluck my heart from me

Gm
And I'll still sleep as sound
F5 F5 F5 [Chorus]
Bb                               Gm
And the bastards, they would talk

                 F*
But not a word of you

          Amaj11
My perfect blue, ohohoh

Bb                        Gm
You can take me as you are

                   F*
I'm going down with you

          Amaj11
My perfect blue, ohohoh
F Bb Gm [Verse 2]
Dm                                  Bb
Waiting for the rapture, hear a car alarm

                Gm
Bottoms coming at you, it won't be too long

Dm
You know the waiting kills, before the hemlock does

Bb                  Gm
Strangers know who's built, to stomach hoping for
[Prechorus]
Dm
If your broken down
If your rollin out
Bb              Gm
I'm your frozen sweat, your smirking sense of doubt

Dm
Feel the world you spilled
From tit to teeth your numb
Bb                   Gm
Leaking smiles from a gasket
Slipped around your tongue F5 F5 F5 x x F5 F5 F5 [Chorus]
Bb                          Gm
And the bastards, they would talk

                  F*
But not a word of you

          Amaj11
My perfect blue, ohohoh

Bb                     Gm
You can take me as you are

                    F*
I'm going down with you

          Amaj11
My perfect blue, ohohoh
[Outro]
Bb                         A
I'm afraid I broke a string
So now I must be leaving
Bb                                A
It's a shame we couldn't finish this
With some wine some Sunday evening
Bb                          A
Oh, I hope you will remember

                             Bb5 A5
Just stay just a Monday more

G5                     Bb5 A5
Don't try this at home

G5                     Bb5 A5
Don't try this at home

G5
Don't try this at home
