The Antlers – Atrophy (Guitar)

Bm  D  G  D F#m 
(step down for just one beat every time)

            Bm                   D
You've been living awhile in the front of my skull

       G        D F#m
Making orders

            Bm                 D
You've been writing me rules, shrinking maps

              G        D F#m
And redrawing borders

           Bm
I've been repeating your speeches

         D                    G       D F#m
But the audience just doesn't follow

            Bm                       D
Because I'm leaving out words, punctuation

                     G      D F#m
And it sounds pretty hollow

           Bm             D
I've been living in bed because now

                 G  D F#m
You tell me to sleep

          Bm                     D
I've been hiding my voice and my face

                      G  D F#m
And you decide when I eat

         Bm
In your dreams I'm a criminal

 D                 G       D F#m
Horrible, sleeping around

              Bm
While you're awake I'm impossible

D                      G    D F#m
Constantly letting you down

        Bm
Little porcelain figurines

      D                        G    D F#m
Glass bullets you shoot at the wall

           Bm
Threats of castration for crimes

    D                        G     D F#m
You imagine when I miss your call

         Bm                        D
With the bite of the teeth of that ring on my finger

    G                           D      F#m
I'm bound to your bedside, your eulogy singer

    Bm                      D
I'd happily take all those bullets inside you

    G                     D   F#m
And put them inside of myself

Em           D
Someone, oh anyone

 Bm             A
Tell me how to stop this

        Em         D
She's screaming, expiring

     Bm           A
And I'm her only witness

     Em          D
I'm freezing, infected

     Bm            A
And rigid in that room inside her

    Em           D             Bm             A
No one's gonna come as long as I lay still in bed beside her
