G1 G7sus4 Am7
The mi- - nus is love-less,
G2 G7sus4
He talks to the land
G1 Am7
And the leaves fall
G7sus4
And the pond over-ices.
G1 Am7
She don’t know the sys-tem, plus
G6sus2,4 Gmaj7
She don’t un- - -derstand
G2 G7sus4 G1 Am7
She’s got all the wrong fu- - ses and spli-ces
G2 G7sus4 G1 Am7
She’s not gonna fix it up too easy.
G1 G7sus4 Am7
The mask- ing tape tan-gles,
G2 G7sus4
It’s stic-ky and black. And
G1 Am7
The cop-per
G7sus4
Proud headed Queen Lizzie
G1 Am7
Con-ducts little char-ges
G6sus2,4 Gmaj7
That don’t get charged back.”
G G7sus4 G Am7
Well, the technical man- - -u- -al’s bus-y
G G7sus4 G1 Am7
She’s not gonna fix it up too easy.
G G7sus4
And she holds out her flash- light
G1 Am7
And she shines it on me.
G2 G7sus4
She wants me to tell her
G1 Am7
What the trouble might be.
G1
Well, I’m learning
Am7
It’s peaceful
G6sus2,4 Gmaj7
With a good dog and some trees,
G2 G7sus4
Out of touch with the break- down
G1 Am7
Of this cen-tury
G2 G7sus4 G1
They're not gonna fix it up
Am7
Too easy
G1 – G7sus4 – G1 – Am7 – G1

G2 – G7sus4 – G1 – Am7
We once loved - together
And we floodlit that time
Input – output – electricity
But the lines overloaded
And the sparks started flying
And the loose wires
Were lashing out at me
She's not gonna fix it up
Too easy
But she hold out her candle
And she shines it in
And she begs him to show her
How to fix it again
While the song that he sang her
To soothe her to sleep
Runs all through her circuits
Am7
Like a heartbeat
G2 G7sus4 G1 Am7
She's not gonna fix it up
F6/G G7
Too eas- - -y
ending: F6/G – G7 (repeat until fade)
