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
