Cover of Tenenment Halls' song on Merge's new 20th Anniversary compilation.  
Popped this out pretty quick so I didn't bother with proper voicings.  Most 
likely using a capo.  Oh, and the lyrics were copy/pasted and I don't think they 
are all correct.  Have fun:

Intro:

B5           B5            
E5
B5           B5            

Verse 1:

E5
Come up with me, love
      
We'll disappear in the evening light
B5
Come up with me, love,
                  B5      E5
Into a world that's sparkly bright

That's the way it's for me, love
Takes just a little to give me life
B5
That's the way its for me, love
                   B5   F#5
Takes just a touch to drop a stop
On the top of the world

Chorus 1:

E5      B5           E5
One is just too many, yeah
        B5        F#5       E5
You know twenty is never enough
        B5             E5
You know one is too many, yeah
        B5                  B5
You know twenty is never enough

Verse 2 (Same as verse one):

E5
Who wouldn't believe, love?
Been like it since the day i was born
B5
You wouldn't believe, love
                      B5      E5
Stuck in a pod like a poisonous dog
E5
You wouldn't believe, love
Swim down to the bottom and never come up
B5
You wouldn't believe, love
                B5
Give my last buck just for
  F#5
A cup after cup after cup

Chorus 2:

E5      B5            E5
One is just too many, yeah
        B5        F#5       E5
You know twenty is never enough
          B5            E5
You know hate we got plenty of
        B5        F#5       E5
It's love that's never enough
         B5            E5
One is just too many, yeah
        B5        F#5       E5
You know twenty is never enough
          B5            E5
You know hate we got plenty of
        B5               F#5
It's love that's never enough

Bridge:

C#5      Ab5      F#5
Lie to me sometime
C#5      Ab5      F#5
I'll take you home
      C#5
Cause it's love to be
      Eb5
Till the day we'll three
      E5
We'll spread this seed
      F#5
In a murdering spree

Chorus 3 (same):
One is just too many, yeah
You know twenty is never enough
You know hate we got plenty of
It's love that's never enough
You know one is too many, yeah
You know plenty is never enough
You know chores we got plenty of
It's love that's never enough

Nice song.  Post corrections.
