This is The Menzinger's song 'Burn After Writing', second track from their latest record: 'On the Impossible Past'. It's an acoustic version, with a fairly loose structure in comparison to the technicality of the record.
Verse 1: DBm Here's to you, the same chords that I stole AD From a song that I once heard BmA The Same melody I borrowed from the void DBm I'd rather observe than structure a narrative A The characters are thin; DBm The plot does not develop AD It ends where it begins
Link; D, Bm, A (x2)
Verse 2: D It's on the screen, in paperbacks BmA In section 8 and cul-de-sacs D Electro haikus and drunk sonnets BmA Are moving me along Em Along
Link: G, D, G, D
Chorus: (x2) D You cut my hair BmA You left red ink everywhere Em Do my hands tell a story? A Is it boring?
Link (Palm Muted): D, Bm, A
Verse 3: (Palm-Muted) D What I'd give to force your sigh BmA What I'd give to see you cry D What I'd give for your caress Bm To see your blue cotton dress A Balled up on the floor D Certain memories are the problem BmAD Certain drunken lines are the shame Bm Seven hundred miles and four years AD I can't fight the flame; it burns G Burns, and it burns and it burns.
Chorus: (x2) D You cut my hair BmA You left red ink everywhere Em Do my hands tell a story? A Is it boring?
Outro: D Was I wishing on satellites? AD Tell me how you've been doing that trick AD I'm just wishing the flame away AD Now I'm wishing the flame away
Nota Bene: On the D's in the outro, and throughout other points during the song, you can add embellishments to make it sounds a bit more tidy, but you don't have to. If you wanna give it a try, then whilst you're on the regular D Major shape, hit the fourth fret on the D string, then move it up to second, then open again. Large.
