Naturally, this isn't going to really reflect how the song sounds...
Please note that there are multiple key changes, so if I have an A#m instead of a
Bbm, please forgive me.

Intro: C#, A#m, F#, G#
C#
Digits dial, digits dial...tone, monotone
A#m
Has she been feigning sleeping?
Framing sheep and all alone?
F#
Downside on the sidewalk,
I'm a distant ring
G#
Out of body, out of body,
Pick me up, oh answer me
C#
I just hurry over
Worried sick
And hoping, sick.
A#m
Gates are courting airplanes,
and clocks divorcing ticks
F#
Before I left, thought I'd see you
At the show, you didn't show
G#
Didn't message, didn't call
You didn't know, didn't you know?
A#m
I'm a liar too
Gm
Uh huh, that's why I think I understand you
A#m
Someone from your building holds for me a door
F
I'm in your lobby, your elevator
I'm on your floor, the second floor
A#m
I can hear you now
Gm
With my ear pressed to the vent
A#m
You're playing that cassette tape
F Cm F
That you took from me to take to Iowa
Cm G#
And that was near three years ago
F#
Now I'm back up in that moment
G# C#
Playing that yardsale Casio
C#
I sang to you from a red room
A#m
(Together we'll grey, grey, grey)
F#
Does he sing to you as well?
G#
Much better, most would say
C#
I hear him laughing
A#m
But I prefer this to the silence
F#
When your lips are sealed against his
Or he fills your thighs with kisses
G#
Or just for instance
He's clawing your fat,
Pushing your breaths into the mattress
A#m
You'll love a good many men, mmhmm
Gm
And loving me ain't gonna stop all of them
A#m
Like Adam we are flawed
In the image of our gods
F
Of our fathers, who never bothered
A#m
To consider they were not the only ones
Faith, ohhhh,
Gm
Faith oh faith, is a way to believe lies we need
A#m
Then to be faithful is to be truthless
But that's more than I need to say
F
Oh just don't run off and get married
And I'll surely be okay
Cm F
'Cause I love you
Cm G#
They'll love a good many yous
F#
Gotta go now
Pack my suitcase
Glad that you're okay,
G#
And I love you, happy birthday,
C#
See you in sixteen days.
