Verse 1:
D A can of cola, aD/C#n unfilled bathtub
G For dirty bodies and storing empties
D The land-line's naggingD/C#, the mail is scattered on the floor
G And through a keyhole of a triple bolted door
A It's melodrama,G its confused chemicals D D/C#
Em It's dirty lauEm/F#ndry, G its empty Styrofoam.
(Repeat Intro Riff)
Verse 2:
D The Giants won andD/C# all the firecracker shells
G Are littering the street and I don't give a shit.
D My shoes ran off someD/C#where and I haven't even
GCared to organize a search. My ball of nerves
A Don't mistake me G
I'll rBmefuse you if you choose to track me Adown.
Em And don't you makEm/F#e me Gleave
Bridge*:
Without wisDhing you well 'tilAsus4 I return
From my bEm7rief sojourn to the Gcenter of the earth
As Dfar as I tell you it'sAsus4 not as bad as all of tEm7hat
G And I promise not to be reckless
OBmh heart of mine, Aheart of mine
It's your Gface that brings me back every time.
(Repeat Intro Riff)
D It's dirty laundry,D/C# its empty StyroGfoam.

The Intro Riff is played throughout the first and second verses.
There are a few live/solo versions where she plays with the capo on the 8th fret (fyi).
I hope this is helpful.
