Not perfect but good for just strumming and singing acoustically. You can replace the B minor with a D.
[Intro]
D A G Bm A x2
[Verse 1]
D
There is a chest
Of skin, of drawers
A
With pictures of waterspouts
G Bm A
Coming out from the ocean and into the mainland
D
Where you once lived
Before
A
When you were younger
Before
G Bm A
You learned how to hope, want, or wish
D A G Bm A
[Verse 2]
D A
Your step became unsteady once
Even more
G Bm
Every time you would stand on shrapnel
A D
Under your feet
A
There was a growth under your skin
An addition of pride
G Bm A
For your newfound wasteland
[Verse 3]
D
A
But even worse
G
The future you see
The future you bring
Bm A D
The future you are completely okay with
I could wait up sick
A
Waiting for a response
G
I could wait up, waiting for anything
Bm A
And it’s something that you’re completely okay with
[Chorus 1]
D
A G
You've been standing outside of my apartment
Bm A D
With your mouth open wide, and I haven't heard enough of it
A G
You've been standing outside of my apartment
Bm A D
With your mouth open wide, and I haven't heard enough of it
[Verse 4]
A
Tell me, tell me, Miranda
G
Where do you see yourself tomorrow?
Do you worry each Wednesday
Bm A
When the week is almost over
D
Where you will sleep
A
Where you will sleep
G
Your sanctuary is Missouri in May
Bm A
And I still insist on cutting my tongue off
[Chorus 2]
D
A G
You've been standing outside of my apartment
Bm A D
With your mouth open wide, and I haven't heard enough of it
A G
You've been standing outside of my apartment
Bm A D
With your mouth open wide, and I haven't heard enough of it
[Verse 5]
A
I will not speak of the crash
G
Cause if it is never spoken of
Bm A
Then history will never know it happened
D
If it is never written about
A
Then no one can ever read it
G
If it is never talked about
Bm A
Then no one can ever hear it
D
Then no one can ever hear it
A G Bm A
Then no one can ever hear it
[Verse 6]
D A
Do we know the truths of every broken step?
G
Only if it's told
Bm
Forgotten when it's old
A D
Undesired and cold
A G Bm A
There is no story to be told
[Bridge]
D A G Bm A
We'll say (repeated)
[Instrumental]
D A G Bm A
D
[Coda/verse 7]
We'll say
A
We'll meet up in some hotel room
G
Be it fancy or pay by the hour
Bm A
And we'll comfort each other
D
Like we used to in our time
A
You'll say it'll be just like the old days
G
But it won't be the fucking old days
Bm A
No it won't be the fucking old days
D
Only now with our broken parts
A G
Our overused and torn up pieces
Bm
Will it be better than before?
A D
Will it be better than before?
A
Do we thank our practice with others
G
Or will it be tarnished by exact thought?
Bm A
Will it be better than before?
D
Will it be better than before?
A G Bm A
Will it be better than before?
D
