[Intro] Fmaj7 Am C C/B [Verse 1]
Fmaj7                      Am
How you tapped on a box of blue American Spirits

C              C/B
At Anyway Cafe a little under a month

Fmaj7                           Am                      C         C/B
Before the ashes and management capital files filled the streets

Fmaj7                         Am
How we wove through the cones walking home

                    C                         C/B
To the place on Atlantic you shared with your hilarious sister

Fmaj7                         Am               C         C/B
Kicking off your black flats, demolished and laughing
[Chorus]
C             Fmaj7
I keep what I can of you

G                                       C
Split-second glimpses and snapshots and sounds

              Fmaj7
You in my New Order t-shirt

G
Holding a cat and a glass of beer
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7                        Am                C
When you rescued me from the customs cops in Hawaii

                     C/B                    F            Am
When I shut down the place with my Japanese novelty bomb

         C              C/B
And your dad came along

Fmaj7              Am
How you had me lay down for a temperature check

C                          C/B
With the cool of your hand on the back of my neck

Fmaj7             Am                    C         C/B
When I said, "I think I'm finally going crazy for real"
[Chorus]
C             Fmaj7
I keep what I can of you

G                                       C
Split-second glimpses and snapshots and sounds

Fmaj7
You in my New Order t-shirt

G
Holding a cat and a glass of beer

C         Fmaj7
I flicker through

G
I carry them with me like drugs in a pocket

C           Fmaj7
You in a Kentucky aquarium

G
Talking to a shark in the corner
[Bridge]
Am            Em
You in a bath on the phone

Fmaj7                 G                        Am
Telling somebody that maybe they're better off leaving

Em                 Fmaj7      G
Than staying in it alone

Am            Em
You in a bath on the phone

Fmaj7                 G                        Am
Telling somebody that maybe they're better off leaving

Em                 Fmaj7      G
Than staying in it alone
[Verse 3]
Fmaj7                       Am
When you cried at the beach and recovered in seconds

C                          C/B
And said everything's fine but I knew that it wasn't

Fmaj7                        Am                 C     C/B
Then you stayed out of reach of me for almost a year

Fmaj7                        Am
How you looked like a poster of a '70s movie

C                       C/B                   Fmaj7
Standing outside at the base of your magazine skyscraper

Am                C               G
Waiting for me to go drinking downtown
[Chorus]
C             Fmaj7
I keep what I can of you

G                                       C
Split-second glimpses and snapshots and sounds

Fmaj7
You in my New Order t-shirt

G
Holding a cat and a glass of beer

C         Fmaj7
I flicker through

G                                    C
I carry them with me like drugs in a pocket

            Fmaj7
You in a Kentucky aquarium

G
Talking to a shark in the corner

C             Fmaj7
I keep what I can of you

G                                       C
Split-second glimpses and snapshots and sounds

Fmaj7
You in my New Order t-shirt

G
Holding a cat and a glass of beer

Am        Fmaj7
I flicker through

G
I carry them with me like drugs in a pocket

Am          Fmaj7
You in a Kentucky aquarium
