Chords

Open C# Tuning: C# G# C# E# G# C# Learnt it from this video of her playing it in an Instagram livestream: A cover of me playing it, acoustic so may be a little easier to hear and figure it out: https://youtu.be/LL6qvWoHRug Edit: People pointed out to me that the G#maj11/G chord was missing. I've updated this, but I don't play it in this cover. It's played for the last two measures of the bar before each D#m11 chord in the outro. It's pretty clear to see in her video. [Chords] There's a lot and they have scary names but they're pretty simple are often variations of each other C#/G# F#maj13 C#/E# F#maj9 F#maj9#11 A#m7 C# F#add9 G#add4 D#11sus2

Picking pattern for the first half:
C#|--------------------------|
G#|-----------X-----------X--| E#|-----X-----------X--------| C#|--------X-----------X-----| G#|--------------X-----------| C#|--X-----------------------| She varies this slightly (e.g. swapping when she picks the 6th string and 5th string when she moves between F#maj9 and F#maj9#11) but it pretty much stays the same until the outro which she strums. [Intro] C#/G# F#maj13 C#/E# F#maj9 F#maj9#11 F#maj9 F#maj9#11 [Verse 1]
             C#/G#
Somewhere in Germany but I can't place it

F#maj13
Man, I hate this part of Texas

C#/E#
Close my eyes, fantasize

F#maj9               F#maj9#11
Three clicks and I'm home

     C#/G#
When I get back I'll lay around

    F#maj13
And I'll get up and lay back down

  C#/E#
Romanticize the quiet life

        F#maj9           F#maj9#11   F#maj9   F#maj9#11
There's no place like my room
[Chorus 1]
              A#m7
But you gotta go

  C#              F#add9
I know, I know, I know

       A#m7                  C#            F#add9
Like a wave that crashed and melted on the shore

             A#m7         G#add4      F#add9
Not even the burnouts are out here anymore
D#11sus2 And you had to go
          C#maj7/E#  F#maj9   F#maj9#11   F#maj9   F#maj9#11
I know, I know,    I know
[Verse 2]
    C#/G#
Out in the park we watch the sunset

F#maj13
Talking on a rusty swing set

C#/E#                       F#maj9     F#maj9#11
After a while you went quiet and I got mean

       C#/G#
Always pushing you away from me

    F#maj13
But you comeback with gravity

    C#/E#                       F#maj9
And when I call you come home

       F#maj9#11   F#maj9   F#maj9#11
A bird in your     teeth
[Chorus 2]
           A#m7
So I gotta go

  C#              F#add9
I know, I know, I know

         A#m7                C#             F#add9
When the sirens sound you'll hide under the floor

                  A#m7            G#add4        F#add9   F#maj9
But I'm not gonna go down with my hometown in a tornado

          C#*
I'm gonna chase it

          C#/E#  F#maj9
I know, I know, I know

        C#*
I gotta go now

          C#/E#  F#maj9  F#maj9#11   F#maj9  F#maj9#11
I know, I know,        I know
[Outro] D#m11 F#sus2 C#5 G#add4 G#maj11/G D#m11 F#sus2 C#5 G#add4 G#maj11/G
D#m11           F#sus2         C#5
     Driving out into the sun

             G#add4 G#maj11/G D#m11
Let the ultraviolet cover me up

                F#sus2      C#5
Went looking for a creation myth

      G#add4    G#maj11/G       D#m11
Ended up with a pair of cracked lips

             F#sus2         C#5
Windows down, scream along

                G#add4    G#maj11/G D#m11
To some America first rap country song

                 F#sus2      C#5
A slaughterhouse, an outlet mall

       G#add4  G#maj11/G D#m11
Slot machines, fear of God

             F#sus2        C#5
Windows down, heater on

              G#add4   G#maj11/G D#m11
Big bolts of lightning hanging low

               F#sus2          C#5
Over the coast, everyone's convinced

                  G#add4   G#maj11/G D#m11
It's a government drone or alien spaceship

           F#sus2            C#5
Either way, we're not alone

            G#add4    G#maj11/G D#m11
I'll find a new place to be from

               F#sus2               C#5
A haunted house with a picket fence

          G#add4    G#maj11/G D#m11
To float around and ghost my friends

                  F#sus2         C#5
No, I'm not afraid to disappear

              G#add4   G#maj11/G D#m11
The billboard said the end is near

                F#sus2                   C#5
I turned around, there was nothing there

        G#add4    G#maj11/G D#m11   F#sus2   C#5
Yeah, I guess the end is here

        G#add4    G#maj11/G D#m11   F#sus2   C#5
Yeah, I guess the end is here

  G#add4    G#maj11/G D#m11   F#sus2   C#5
I guess the end is here

        G#add4    G#maj11/G D#m11   F#sus2   C#5   G#add4
Yeah, I guess the end is here
