I was lucky enough to discover Mitski when at a show for Hundred Waters. I found this song on her Bandcamp and
really like it, so I decided to transcribe it.Im pretty sure most of the voicings that I provide are accurate,
though I didn't take too long to make sure.
picking pattern is very simple and can easily be lifted off of the record. The last verse is strummed.

[Verse 1]
D F# All of this turbulence wasn't forecasted G A Apologies from the intercom D F# And I am relieved that I'd left my room tidy G They'll think of me kindly A D When they come for my things G F# E They'll never know how I'd stared at the dark in that room
With no thoughts
D# Like a blood-sniffing shark G Bm And while my dreams made music in the night G Carefully A D I was going to live

[Verse 2]
D F# You wouldn't leave till we loved in the morning G A You'd learned from movies how love ought to be D F# And you'd say you love me and look in my eyes G But I know through mine you were A D Looking in yours G F# And did you know the liberty bell is a replica E D# Silently housed in its original walls G Bm And while its dreams played music in the night G Quietly A D It was told to believe

[Verse 3]
D F# I always wanted to die clean and pretty G D A But I'd be too busy on working days D F# G So I am relieved that the turbulence wasn't forecasted A D I couldn't have changed anyways G F# I am relieved that I'd left my room tidy E7 D# D Goodbye
