The album version is in E major, but being on a piano it's quite hard to play on guitar.
is a "guitar arrangement" in G major instead.
[G]What a [D]beautiful piece of he[Em]artache[D][G]
This has [D]all turned out to b[Em]e[D][G]
Lord kn[D]ows we've learned the [Em]hard way[D][G]
All about he[D]althy apath[Em]y
[C] And I use these [G]words pretty lo[Am]osely
[C] There's so much [G]more to life than w[Am]ords
[G] There is a m[D]e you would not recogn[Em]ize, d[C]ear
[G] Call it the sh[D]adow of myse[Em]lf[C]
[G] And if the m[D]usic starts bef[Em]ore I get th[C]ere
[G] Dance without m[D]e,[Em] you dance s[C]o gracefully
[G] I really th[D]ink I'll be [Em]okay[C]
[G] They've taken their t[D]oll, these latter d[Em]ays
((this part follows the verse pattern))
Nothing like sleeping on a bed of nails
Nothing much here but our broken dream
Oh, but baby, if all else fails
Nothing is ever quite what it seems
And I'm dying inside to leave you
With more than just cliches
[G] There is a m[D]e you would not recogn[Em]ize, d[C]ear
[G] Call it the sh[D]adow of myse[Em]lf[C]
[G] And if the m[D]usic starts bef[Em]ore I get th[C]ere
[G] Dance without m[D]e,[Em] you dance s[C]o gracefully
[G] I really th[D]ink I'll be [Em]okay[C]
[G] They've taken their t[D]oll, these latter d[Em]ays
[G] Tell them it's r[D]eal
[Em] Tell them i[C]t's really real
[G] I just don't h[D]ave much [Em]left[C] to say
[G] They've taken their [D]toll, these latter d[Em]ays[C]
[G] They've taken their [D]toll, these latter d[Em]ays[C]
The outro is G and Em repeated.
