This song sounds awesome with the string quartet but you can play it on guitar too. Am-Am-F-G (3x)
Am
(pause)

Am                    F           G
The reception's gotten fuzzy

Am                    F           G
The delicate balance has shifted

F                           Am
Put on your gloves and your black pumps

F                         E
Let's pretend the fog has lifted

Am      F        G
Now you see me

Am      F        G
Now you don't

F               Am
Now you say you love me

F               E
Pretty soon you won't

     Am                           F
If we get our full three score and ten

D                       E
We won't pass this way again

                           Am        G
So kiss me with your mouth open

F                         E
Turn the tires toward the street

         Am
And stay sweet
Am-Am-F-G (3x)
Am
(pause)

Am                       F           G
All the chickens come on home to roost

Am                            F      G
Plump bodies blotting out the sky

F                              Am
You know it breaks my heart in half, in half

F                         E
When I see them trying to fly

                      Am      F     G
'Cause you just can't do

Am                      F           G
Things your body wasn't meant to

F            Am
Hike up your fishnets

F      E
I know you

      Am                            F
If we live to see the other side of this

D                    E
I will remember your kiss

                         Am         G
So do it with your mouth open

F                             E
And take your foot off of the brake

             Am
For Christ's sake
Am-Am-F-G (3x) Am
