Chords
This is my interpretation of this gorgeous, heartbreaking tune. The original guitar
are a bit weird if you wanna play it and sing a long to the song so I made a tab
for strumming/picking.
I actually think the 4th chord sounds better as an C#m instead of E during the verses
but I like the sound of the open strings there and they are relative major/minor anyway,
doesn't really make a big difference. Hope you like it. It sounds good to me but please
comment if you have anything to add!

[Verse 1]
A C#m F#m E Sorrow found me when I was young A C#m F#m E Sorrow waited, sorrow won A C#m F#m E Sorrow they put me on the pill A C#m F#m It's in my honey it's in my milk
[Chorus]
E A C#m Don't leave my hyper heart alone F#m On the water E A C#m F#m Cover me in rag and bones, sympathy E A C#m F#m Cause I don't wanna get over you E A C#m F#m I don't wanna get over you
E (for one extra measure)
[Verse 2]
A C#m F#m E Sorrow's my body on the waves A C#m F#m E Sorrow's the girl inside my cake A C#m F#m E I live in a city sorrow built A C#m F#m It's in my honey, it's in my milk
[Chorus]
E A C#m Don't leave my hyper heart alone F#m On the water E A C#m F#m Cover me in rag and bones, sympathy E A C#m F#m Cause I don't wanna get over you E A C#m F#m I don't wanna get over you E A C#m Don't leave my hyper heart alone F#m On the water E A C#m F#m Cover me in rag and bones, sympathy E A C#m F#m Cause I don't wanna get over you E A C#m F#m I don't wanna get over you
Same chords during the "choir" parts, stay on E for an extra measure and then end on A.
