Intro: E F#m C#m A  (2x) 


verse 1: 

E                F#m 
  Flattered that you  
C#m 
   think I warrant  
A       E 
ugliness Gutters  
      F#m 
drain west 
           C#m 
mud made a mess of us 
     A 
It's time to  
           A    F#m 
leave this place 


Interlude: E F#m C#m A E F#m C#m G#m A F#m  


verse 2: 
E                      F#m 
  I'd saw through your wrist  
C#m                 A 
   to find a better trap that fits 
E                       F#m 
   I'd saw through your traps  
          C#m 
to find a better you 
  A                A    F#m 
A part of you that lasts 


verse 3: 
E                    F#m 
  I saw through your trap  
C#m         A 
   and into my own wrists 
E             F#m 
  Saw we were through 
             C#m 
red ribbons spill to blue 
  A                  A   F#m 
A sight to sore your eyes 



C#m           A 
   I got this dress 
           E 
I'm hiking it around  
     B 
this waste of laughter 
C#m            A 
   Slow dance alone with  
       E 
no one to the sound  
   B 
of four hands clapping 
C#m        A 
   Congratulations to you  
E               B           
both I hope somewhere 

you're happy If there's  

a moral to this story  

then I wish you'd show me 



verse 4: 

E             F#m 
  Hair in the blood 
C#m           A 
   fly in the disappointment 
E            F#m 
  Rubber I'm glue I'll  
          C#m 
write the book on you 
      A             A   F#m 
It's sticking to my face 


Interlude: E F#m C#m A E F#m C#m G#m A F#m  


Verse 5: 

E 
  You need a little  
F#m C#m 
less   than what you  
A 
take for granted 
E             F#m 
  This is the sip that's  
         C#m 
drinking back from you 
A                 A   F#m 
Blacking out your eyes 


Verse 6: 
E                   F#m 
  You need a little more  
   C#m             A 
suppression of you appetites 
E              F#m 
  This is your honeymoon 
   C#m 
in separate rooms 
     A                 A     F#m 
It's neither sweet nor bright 


(Repeat Chorus 1) 


Breakdown: G#m  A   (8x) 



C#m         A 
   I made a word to  
           E 
give this state a name  
     B 
this game a guess 
C#m           A 
  I call it "sluttering" 
   E 
It means as little  
B              C#m 
as your little test 
            A 
You are your worst  
             E 
revenge Your very means 
     B 
they have no ends 
C#m           A 
   This is a story you won't  
E                   B 
tell the kids we'll never  
     C#m 
have If you hear this  
A              E 
song a hundred times it  
            B 
still won't be enough 
C#m 
If you hear this  
A              E 
song a hundred times it  
            B        C#m 
still won't be enough
