Doors I Painted Shut

[Verse 1]

N.C.             E 
I don't wanna die 
                    A 
At least not without you 
                  F#m 
Alone here in the August heat 
                      A 
In the shadows of the afternoon 


[Verse 2]
 
                 E 
I don't wanna die 
                     A 
But I'm petrified of getting up 
                                F#m 
And there's a draft coming from underneath 
                   A 
A door I swore I'd painted shut 


[Verse 3]

                      E 
I'm staring at the sun 
                          A 
Even though I'm sure that I'm asleep 
                             F#m 
And it's expanding out to swallow us 
                         A 
I can feel the low, persistent heat 


[Verse 4]

                  E 
I don't try to run 
                        A 
I wait out there on the porch swing 
                            F#m 
And in the orange glow and eerie calm 
                             A 
The continent slides off into the sea 


[Verse 5]
 
                  E 
I don't wanna stay 
                          A 
Under the low clouds of a humid heat 
                     F#m 
I'm singing softly out of tune 
            A 
I can never find the key 


[Verse 6]
 
                 E 
I don't wanna die 
             A 
Or maybe I do 
                        F#m 
'Cause everything's so fucking dark 
                           A 
You found me crying in the other room 

Outro: 
F#m                              A 
It's been years since I've been low like this 

I don't like me 
F#m                   A 
Playing piano with a broken wrist 

I don't like me 
F#m                           A 
And I've been waiting at the window sill 

I don't like me 
F#m                   A 
I need you to know I love you still 

I don't like me 

E
