Note: In her SXSW performance, Courtney plays all 4 chords in the barred in the F shape:
F: 1st fret G: 3rd Fret C: 8th fret Bb: 6th fret
In other performances she places an open C shape and mostly leaves out the Bb.
GI lay awake at four, staring at the wall
FCounting all the cracks backCwards in my best BbFrench
GReminds me of a book I skim-read in a surgery
FAll about palmistry, I Cwonder what's in store for Bbme
I preGtend the plaster is the skin on my Fpalms
And the cracks are representaCtive of what is going Bbon
GI lose a breath... my love-line seems intertwined with Fdeath C
I'm thinking of you Gtoo
G F C Bb
GI lay awake at three, staring at the ceiling
FIt's a kind of off-white, Cmaybe it's a cream Bb
GThere's oily residue seeping from the kitchen
FIt's art-deco necromantic chic, Call the dinner plates are kitsch witBbh
GIrish Wolf Hounds, French baguettes wrapped loose around their Fnecks
I think I'm hungry, CI'm thinking of you Gtoo
I'm thinking of you Ftoo C Bb
I'm thinking of you tGoo
I'm thinking of you Ftoo C Bb
I'm thinking of you tooG
