Phoebe plays this song using an alternate tuning, this is a simplified version for standard tuning.
If you want the chord names to be relative to the capo transpose +1.
I used slash chord names for some of the chords for convenience as it makes sense in this context, better
fitting ones are in the brackets.

[Intro]
Bb/F Gm7 Bb/C Bb/Eb
Bb/F Gm7 Bb/C Bb/Eb
[Verse 1]
I Bb/Fwent with you up to
The Gm7place you grew up in
Bb/CWe spent a week in the Bb/Ebcold
Bb/FJust long enough to
Gm7walden it with you
Any Bb/Clonger, it would have got Bb/Ebold
Singing Bb/F"Ace of Spades" when Lemmy died
But Gm7nothing's changed, L.A.'s all Bb/Cright Bb/Eb
Bb/FSleeping in my bed again, and Gm7getting in my head
And then Bb/Cwalk around the Bb/Ebreservoir
[Chorus]
Bb/FYou - Gm7ou, you Bb/Cmust have been Bb/Dlooking for Bb/Ebme
Sending Bb/Fsmo - Gm7oke signals
Bb/CPelicans BbcircBb/Ebling
Burning Gm7trash out Bb/Fon the Bb/Ebbeach
[Interlude]
Bb/F Gm7 Bb/C Bb/Eb
[Verse 2]
Bb/FOne of your eyes is
Gm7Always half-shut
Something Bb/Chappened when you were a Bb/Ebkid
I Bb/Fdidn't know you then
And I'll Gm7never understand
Bb/CWhy it feels like I Bb/Ebdid
Bb/F"How Soon Is Now" in an 'Gm780s sedan
You Bb/Cslept inside of it Bb/Ebbecause your dad
Bb/FLived in a campground in the Gm7back of a van
You Bb/Csaid that song will creep you out Bb/Ebuntil you're dead
[Chorus]
Bb/FYou - Gm7ou, you Bb/Cmust have been Bb/Dlooking for Bb/Ebme
Sending Bb/Fsmo - Gm7oke signals
Bb/CPelicans BbcircBb/Ebling
Burning Gm7trash out Bb/Fon the Bb/Ebbeach
[Interlude]
Bb/F Gm7 Bb/C Bb/Eb
[Verse 3]
Bb/FI want to live at
The Gm7Holiday Inn
Where Bb/Csomebody else makes the Bb/Ebbed
Bb/FWe'll watch TV while
The Gm7lights on the street
Bb/CPut all the stars to Bb/Ebdeath
It's been Bb/Fon my mind since Bowie died
Just Gm7checking out to hide from Bb/Clife Bb/Eb
And Bb/Fall of our problems, Gm7I'm gonna solve 'em
With Bb/Cyou riding shot-gun, Bb/Ebspeeding, 'cause fuck the cops
[Chorus]
Bb/FYou - Gm7ou, you Bb/Cmust have been Bb/Dlooking for Bb/Ebme
Sending Bb/Fsmo - Gm7oke signals
Bb/CPelicans BbcircBb/Ebling
Burning Gm7trash out Bb/Fon the Bb/Ebbeach
[Interlude]
Bb/F Gm7 Bb/C Bb/Eb
[Verse 4]
I Bb/Fburied a hatchet
It's Gm7coming up lavender
The Bb/Cfuture's unwritten
The Bb/Ebpast is a corridor
Bb/FI'm at the exit Gm7looking back through the hall
Bb/CYou are anonymous
Bb/EbI am a concrete wall
[Outro]
