Paralytic States (acoustic) by Against Me! A couple of notes: - This is how Laura plays the song at acoustic shows. The LP version is slightly different (there's leads, a key change, etc). - Also, G#m * denotes something like this: --------- --------- --------- -6-5-6-5- -6-6-6-6- -4-3-4-3- That said, here's the song:

^BShe could hear them fucking through Those thin hotel walls She heard ^Ebabies crying, She heard laughter, she heard sirens ^BRed and blue lights flashing Through those cheap hotel drapes Blood ^Espilled out on the porcelain The ^F#mbath tub's over-flowing

^EParalytic ^F#mstates of dependency ^BAll waking ^G#mlife's just a living dream ^EAgitated ^F#mstates of amazement ^BNever quite the woman that she ^G#mwant

ed to be ^BNever quite the woman that she ^G#mwant

^BSpread out faced down on those Stained cheap hotel sheets She spent the ^Elast years of her life Running from the boy she used to be ^BCut her face wide open Shaved the bone down thin Plumped her ^Elips up exaggerated A fucked ^F#mup kind of feminine

^EParalytic ^F#mstates of dependency ^BAll waking ^G#mlife's just a living dream ^EAgitated ^F#mstates of amazement ^BNever quite the woman that she ^G#mwant

^BNight time at the hotel there was fighting in the hall Thin chain ^Elock to keep the world out She held her breath till it was gone ^BStanding naked in front of that hotel bathroom mirror In her dys^Ephoria's reflection She still ^F#msaw her mother's son

^EParalytic ^F#mstates of dependency ^BAll waking ^G#mlife's just a living dream ^EAgitated ^F#mstates of amazement ^BNever quite the woman that she ^G#mwant

^EBy the time the ^F#mball dropped it was ^Ealready ^F#mover ^EBy the time the ^F#mball dropped it was ^Ealready ^F#mover ^ENo resolutions for the ^F#mnew year beginning to^Bmorrow
