This is how I play the song! Suggestions and corrections welcome. (This song is very complicated, so I tried my best! Definitely not 100% right) [Intro] Bb [Verse 1]
DmFirst and foremost, don't let it be said I am wrFiting this at 7:Am10 am On the hDmard dry tarmac of a vacant forecourt FAstronomically speaking, it's the fAmirst day of autumn But the Dmsun is hanging 'round like summer's hungover They'll knFock the garage down and build fAmlats where I sit The traDmffic's so persistent that it barely registers And it smFells like a mix between peAmtrol and dog shit
[Chorus]
BbJust let me Ambe the one that keCeps track of the mDmoles on your back BbI just sighed, the uniFverse repAmlied, "Let this pCass you by"
[Verse 2]
DmSometimes it's just enough to know I kFeep him on his tAmoes Is he as symDmpathetic as me to the untimely demise of yFour synthetic cloAmthes? I've displayed maDmrriage proposals on the Jumbotrons of balFlgames you've not bAmeen at I've written euDmlogies in guestbooks of gallFeries in the hope that you mAmight pass
[Chorus]
BbJust let me Ambe the one that keCeps track of the mDmoles on your back BbI just sighed, the uniFverse repAmlied, "Let this pCass you by"
[Bridge]
DmShe, nervous and barefoot, chats to C#me at the front door FHe, boyfriend, inside's a saint, beAmcoming a martyr Me roDmlling, writhing on the floor, stared daC#ggers pulled from my thoracic wall F When I hCold sea shGmells to Fmy ears, IC'm pretty sGmure I can hBbear yFou Gm Bb C
[Verse 3]
DmHe gave a gift of the Faber Book of Love Poems FAnnotated the oAmnes he thought applied the Dmmost Not gonna win you round with prose If anFyone should know then it's AmI should know (Oh-oh) FGirl, there must be a reason you let it slip GmWent to the point of sending the message AmSix months of visceral Catherine Wheels BbKissing carnivores to mCake it seem like less of a deal
[Chorus]
BbJust let me Ambe the one that keCeps track of the mDmoles on your back BbI just sighed, the uniFverse repAmlied, "Let this pCass you by"
[Bridge]
I prDmomise after this I will pC#ick up the phone book And chFoose the name that my eyes fall uAmpon on their first look DmAim all of my poorly composed declC#arations there in the future F I'm so sCorry to hGmave to put yFou through a lGmifetBbime of CDedications that you nGmever desired
[Pre-Outro] Dm C F Am
And this Dmone senteCnce bluFdgeons me oAmver the hBbeadF C Am Bb F C Am (Okay) I'm a liDmttle bit drunk, and I mean just a little bit No lFush in denial, only rather coquettish I'm fiDmfteen years old and my parents' only son Like I baFrely survived a girls' school education GmPrettier now that you've grown your hair long I'm a sBblip of a man since I cut mine all off
[Outro]
Please just Dmlet me Cbe the Bbone to keep track Dm F Bb Of the freckDmles andC the moBbles on your back Dm F Bb F Bb
