Key: Em Chord Progression: Em-C-G-D (each repeated twice). I added some personal differences in the second half of the song but feel free to simply follow the pattern. 🎸 Verse 1: Em Em C C G G D D There’s been a stain in the carpet since the day our father took those pills Em Em C C G G D D And nothing’s felt real since then Em Em C C G G D D We haven't seen the ocean since two days after we were born Em Em C C G G D D And now you say you wish they’d thrown you in
🎸 Pre-Chorus 1: Em C G D The red and white stripes above our bed have started tearing Em C G D And I’m just waiting for the stars to fall through Em C G D They let this town fall down around us like we always thought it would Em C G D But we never left, even though we knew 🎸 Chorus: Em Em C C G G D D You and I are not in love, we are just the same Em Em C C G G D D Two children in a motel making love in our own grave Em Em C C G G D D And we are not embarrassed, but we’re filled with worms and dirt Em Em C C G G D D We were better off dying with her at birth 🎸 Verse 2: Em Em C C G G D D And I don’t care what girls you hurt as long as you come home to me Em Em C C G G D D ’Cause I can’t be alone for long Em Em C C G G D D You would’ve died if I didn’t hide you when the army came to take you Em Em C C G G D D You can try, but you can’t tell me I’m wrong 🎸 Pre-Chorus 2: Em D You’re the only one I’ll let touch me G C D ’Cause no one makes me feel safe like you do Em C G D All these dreams of violation starting to come true Em C G D Deep down I don't wanna say no to you, no to you 🎸 Chorus: Em Em C C G G D D You and I are not in love, we are just the same Em Em C C G G D D Two children in a motel making love in our own grave Em Em C C G G D D And we are not embarrassed, but we’re filled with worms and dirt Em Em C C G D We were better off dying with her at birth
