Chords

I put some longer spaces in the verses because the chord change happens between the longer pause between words, and I wanted to make that more obvious. If you need to play [Verse 1]
A                          G               D
it was raining outside so i cleaned house today

                     A     E
spent half of the morning     throwing old things away

A                           G                   D
try not to get caught up, try to think like a machine

                  A              E
focus in on the task, try not to   think about what it means
[Chorus]
E           A
can't get you

             D
outta my head

           A     E
lost without you

        A
half dead
[Verse 2]
A                           G                    D
took my spot at the window,   looked out at the road

                     A      E
dots and dashes of traffic    like a message in code

A                              G                    D
  and whole boxes of memories     wrapped up at the curb

       A                E
i sang songs to myself,    didn't have any words
[Chorus]
E           A
can't get you

             D
outta my head

           A     E
lost without you

        A
half dead
[Verse 3]
A                          G           D
stole out to the backyard    late last night

           A        E
pine trees frozen     in the silvery moonlight

A                   G               D
rising like giants    from the cold earth

                       A              E
what are the years we gave each other    ever gonna be worth?
[Chorus]
E           A
can't get you

             D
outta my head

           A     E
lost without you

        A
half dead
