CAPO ON FIRST FRET!
Intro:
Am , E
VERSE 1:
[Am]You're my favorite explosion.[E]
[Am]A violin with no hands plays symphonies with no [E]words.
[Am]A drowning boy with no voice prays someone up there's te[E]lling me,
[Am]You'd better not[F] get back up![C]
[E]I spit my heart [Am]into this red cu[F]p.[C][E]
I'd better pick [Am]it back up, it might rui[F]n your night.[C][E]
And she said,
[Am]"Baby, leave the water b[F]y the bed for later,[C][G]
and I wo[Am]ke up without a [F]single drop.[C][G]
CHORUS:
I told myself I'm tired [Am]of holding up your backu[F]p plans.[C][G]
Go down your list and be[Am] satisfied if al[F]l you have is no[C]t enough.[G]
VERSE 2:
(True love comes from more than just the heart)
She said paint a[Am] picture on me,[E]
throw your dress up and [Am]your heart away.[E]
Yeah, I heard wh[Am]at you said.
[E]A friend of a friend, these strangers at[Am] the party never paid.[E]
And if that does[Am]n't turn you on.[F][C]
[E]I'll keep talkin[Am]g till something[F] does.[C][E]
As we're covered[Am] in sand, you roll over and smil[F]e.[C][E7]
CHORUS:
I told myself I'm tired [Am]of holding up your backu[F]p plans.[C][G]
Go down your list and be[Am] satisfied it?s [F]all you have [C][G]
Bridge:
and unti[E]l that day,
I'll steal you flowers from the cemetery, red roses.
(during this next part listen to the guitars to figure out how to play it)
F F C C F F Am Am E.
Red rose of the dead.
How does it feel to breathe oxygen inside my head?
So say i[Am]t, say I'm in love, cause you ca[E]lled me
[Am]crying from your job, said you j[E]ust got fired.[Am]
And you [F]don't have a backup plan[C],[G]
so don't[Am] expect me to un[F]derstand[C].[G]
(A diamond bullet and a gun made of gold, she was covered in blood last seen in San Francisco)
[Am]Yeah![F][C][E]
We all breakdown.
Sometimes the bedroom wa[Am]lls become my on[F]ly friends,[C][E]
Am E C (or E7)
but they were there from beginning to end.
I told myself I'm tired [Am]of holding up your backu[F]p plans.[C][G]
Go down your list and be[Am] satisfied it?s [F]all you have [C][G]
You know I've never held[Am] a gun in my lif[F]e,[C]
but now I carry [G]one around in ca[Am]se I see you tonight.[F][C]
[G]Bedroom walls.
Oh, these bedroo[Am]m walls.[F]
Oh, I hate what [C]it tastes like.[G]
Outro:
Am, E
