verse 1  

Em                             B7 
Petite Mort, I'm asking for an answer 
C              Cm/A           G        D 
Petite Mort, you sang until you slept 
Am               D7                 Em        E 
Petite Mort, you took yourself, you bastard 
C/G              D                     G        B7 
Petite Mort, the sleeping's all that's left 

    Em                         B7 
You took apart the sympathetic angle 
         C              Cm/A         G      D         
When you catered to the bitterness inside 
Am                   D7                Em        E 
Resigned yourself to depths I couldn't handle 
  C/G           D                 G 
A million daily deaths before you die 



C/G 
    Gathered a bouquet 
              Em 
Of roses and posies 
                    A7 
And straightened my tie 
       C/G                 G               Main Riff 
When I got there, you were nowhere I could find 



verse 2 

        Em                      B7 
Through layer after layer of subconscious 
  C            Cm/A          G        D 
I hunted for a reason in the woods 
  Am             D7              Em        E 
I tore apart the map and started backwards 
  C/G              D                G        B7 
I couldn't picture living there for good 

  Em                                B7 
I left you there to finish starting fires 
      C                 Cm/A           G        D 
And I left you there to propagate your lie 
  Am                 D7           Em        E 
I left you there cos honey, I was tired 
  C/G               D               G 
I left you but that doesn't make it right 




C/G 
    I remember your bedroom 
        Em 
Ivy and clover 
            A7 
You kept me alive 
       C/G                G               Main Riff 
Knives drawn, the butcher world waited outside 



verse 3 

    Em                             B7 
Now Petite Mort, I'm asking for an answer 
    C                Cm/A           G        D 
Now Petite Mort, you sang until you slept 
    Am               D7                 Em        E 
Now Petite Mort, you took yourself, you bastard 
    C/G              D                     G        B7 
Now Petite Mort, the sleeping's all that's left
