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 With shadows of the afternoon [Chorus 1]

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 [Second Verses]

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 [Chorus 2]

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 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 F 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 I know you're strong
