An old fan site at www.skepsis.com/Chords/Aimee is no longer active, but used to 
have chords for virtually all of Aimee Mann's songs through 2002.  The site is 
dead apparently, but I have the chords available.  I thought I'd post them here 
as a more permanent archive.

Intro:

Am Em Am Em 

Verse 1:
Am           Em              Am       Em
Say you were split, you were split in fragments
    Am          Em          Am      Em
And none of the pieces will talk to you
Am           Em         C       Em/B
Wouldn't you want to be who you had been
      F       C         G
Well, maybe I want that too

Chorus:
   F      C        G        Dm
So better take the keys and drive forever
F       C         G             Dm
Staying won't put these futures back together
F       C       G         Dm
All the perfect drugs and superheroes
F        C   G                 Dm           /C   Bb
Wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero

Verse 2:
Baby, you're great, you've been more than patient   Am  Em  Am  Em
saying it's not A catastophe                        Am  Em  Am  Em
but I'm not the girl you once put your faith in     Am  Em  C   Em/B
just someone who looks like me                      F   C   G

Chorus:
So better take the keys and drive forever           F   C   G   Dm
staying won't put these futures back together       F   C   G   Dm
all the perfect drugs and superheroes               F   C   G   Dm
wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero           F   C   G   Dm   /C  Bb

Bridge:

Em                   Am       Em  Am    ?  C  ?
So get out while you can 
Em                Am
Get out while you can
         Em           Am
baby I'm pouring quicksand
               F              C
and sinking is all that I had planned
               Em Am Em Am F  Dm  /C  Bb 
so better just go

Chorus:
Oh better take the keys and drive forever           F   C   G   Dm
staying won't put these futures back together       F   C   G   Dm
all the perfect drugs and superheroes               F   C   G   Dm
wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero           F   C   G   Dm
                                               ||:  F   C   G   Dm  :||

Coda:

Fmaj7       C          G             Dm
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Fmaj7      C      G       Dm
Couldn't put baby together again
Fmaj7       C          G             Dm
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Fmaj7      C      G       Dm     Bb   C
Couldn't put baby together again
