As recorded by Waxahatchee (2024 release) [Intro] G Am Em G Am Em [Verse 1]
          G
I got off at your stop, at my stock's sudden drop

          Am                                 Em
I'm a trusted doorstop or a paperweight, taciturn, inanimate

          G
I can sit on your shelf, like ashes foretell

  Am                                             Em
A spirit in hell while the living sleep right on through, take a shortcut

             G
And I coulda called, I suppose, I'm the thorn on your rose

        Am                                          Em
I'm the emperor's new clothes, and I make it look easier every time

         G
If you'd left it to me, who knows where we would be

        Am
Reading fortunes for free in someone else's goldmine
[Chorus]
Em                             G
 Survеy my breaker like chеap wine

Am                  Em
 You let it in sometimes

                         G
A floodgate you can pantomime

Am                  Em
 You let it in sometimes
[Verse 2]
         G
In every crime of the heart, you'll rip yourself apart

        Am                           Em
It's outsider art, provokes every emotion

             G
And it may bewilder a few, it's an unpleasant view

          Am                                     Em
You're an agent of truth, twisted up at the tail end
[Chorus]
                               G
You play the villain like a violin

Am                 Em
 It comes from within

                     G
Darkness you can befriend

Am                 Em  G
 It comes from within
[Bridge]
       Am
It's a dead end

          Em
Don't overextend

                              G
Hail the darkness you can befriend

       Am
It's a dead end

          Em
Don't overextend

                            G
Hail the darkness you can befriend
[Outro] Am Em G Am Em G
