[Verse 1]
D6add9 Bm11
You've seen the spots on her back
Gsus2 D6add9
You know the salt of her tears
Gsus2 D6add9 D6add9/C# Bm11
The dull glow in your pocket is only ever a fear
G
That maybe sometimes it all does go wrong
D6add9 Bm11
D6add9 Bm11
[Pre-Chorus]
G5 D6add9
But she's so goddamn loyal
D6add9/C#
And you've heard some sounds
G5 D6add9 D6add9/C#
Unhuman come out of her mouth
G5 D6add9 D6add9/C#
The vault door opened and shut
Bm11
And you can't get out
A9sus4 A9
Did you wanna geeeeeet out?
[Chorus]
G
Maybe like a piece of sea-glass
A
She'll smooth out all of her edges
D6add9 Bm11
And become gracefully transparent
G
Taken from the world
A
Given to the sea
D6add9 Bm11
Returned with life and history
G A
There's not many who would stay
So you will
D6add9 Bm11
D6add9 Bm11
[Pre-Chorus]
G5 D6add9
But she's so goddamn loyal
D6add9/C#
And you've heard some sounds
G5 D6add9 D6add9/C#
Unhuman come out of her mouth
G5 D6add9 D6add9/C#
The vault door opened and shut
Bm11
And you can't get out
A9sus4 A9
Did you wanna geeeeeet out?
[Chorus]
G
Maybe like a piece of sea-glass
A
She'll smooth out all of her edges
D6add9 Bm11
And become gracefully transparent
G
Taken from the world
A
Given to the sea
D6add9 Bm11
Returned with life and history
[Outro]
Bb A
There's not many who would stay
Bb A
There's not many who would stay
Bb A
There's not many who would stay
D6add9
So you will
