Great song this. I first heard it a few days ago
and couldn't stop singing it so had to work it out.

I play this with a capo at the 2nd fret and use a G-
shape although the song is in A. That way I can pick
G# A# on the top string in the verse, which is a 
key part of the melody. something like this:

Capo: 2nd fret
E----------2---3- | 
B-3-----3----0--- | 
G-----0---------- | 
D---0------------ | 
A---------------- | 
E-3-------------- | 



G5  C5 B5 A5 D5 C5 B5 A5

G5
Vivid as a plane wreck

Spilled out on the tarmac
C5             B5            A5 
I can feel my legs begin to quake
     D5               C5
Oh I love to wear disguises
      B5               A5  
But I hate this masquerade

C5            D5
Baby you and me
  C5                     D5
Although we're thick as thieves
    A5          D5                   G5 
The only time I love you's when you leave


Pulling teeth and deep stares

Strung out in the Spring air
C5                 B5             A5
I'll just hang my head on out to dry
D5            C5
I could fake forever
         B5                 A5 
But it's just not worth the time

G5
Finger snaps and hand claps

Leapfrog over deep cracks
  C5             B5             A5  
A contradiction falling in the ground
      D5          C5 
I'm a misery without you
          B5                A5
It's just like you're still around

C5            D5
Baby you and me
  C5                     D5
Although we're thick as thieves
    A5          D5                   G5
The only time I love you's when you leave


Timid as a tape deck

Spilling out the same shit
C5            B5              A5
My attention span left long ago
            D5              C5 
But there's comfort in the knowledge
          B5            A5
That I'll probably die alone

C5            D5
Baby you and me
  C5                     D5
Although we're thick as thieves
    A5          D5                   G5 
The only time I love you's when you leave


C5            D5
Baby you and me
   C5           D5
As funny as it seems
    A5          D5                   G5
The only time I love you's when you leave
    A5          D5                   G5
The only time I love you's when you leave
