E
    Why don't you ever wanna play

E/A
    I'm tired of this piece of string

B
    You sleep as much as I do now and you

A                      E-open
    Don't eat much of anything

E
    I don't know who you're talking to

E/A
    I made a search through every room

B
    But all I found was dust that moved

A                       E-open
    'n shadows of the afternoon

    E        
And listen

             A
About those bitter songs you sing

             F#m
They're not helping anything

           A        E
They won't make you strong

E
    So we should open up the house

E/A
    Invite the tabby two doors down

B                             
    You could ask your sister if

A                          E-open
    She doesn't bring her basset hound

E
    Asked of things you shouldn't miss

E/A
    Tape hiss and the modern man

B
    Cold war and card catalogues

A                    E-open
    To come join us if they can

E
    For girly drinks and parlour games

E/A
    We'll pass around the easy lie

B
    Of absolutely no regrets

A                    E-open
    And later maybe you could try

E
    To let your losses dangle off

E/A
    The sharp edge of a century

B
    Talk about the weather or

A                    E-open
    How the weather used to be

         E                           
And I'll cater

             A
With all the birds that I can kill

          F#m                 
Let their tiny feathers fill

    A
Disappointment

E                      
Lie down

             A
And lick the sorrow from your skin

            F#m               
Scratch the terror and begin

     A            E       E/A   D
To believe you're strong

E            F#m           B/G#             A
All you ever want to do is drink and watch TV

    A/C#               E                 A/A#
And frankly that thing doesn't really interest me

  E                Fm               F#m               A
I swear I'm gonna bite you hard and taste your tinny blood

   A/C#               A/C            E                  A/A#              A
If you don't stop the self-defeating lies you've been repeating since the day you brought me home

              E      E/A   D   E/A
I know you're strong
