I was just trying to figure out this amazing song and I figure I'd contribute my 
so others can enjoy.


The strumming is done by picking down on a bass note then strumming up on the bottom 
then picking down on the next bass note and then up again on the bottom strings.

For the F - F7 parts I use an open chord and switch between:
1---  0--- | 
1---  1--- | 
-2--  -2-- | 
--3-  --3- | 
----  ---- | 
----  ---- | 

I don't think the other chords matter.

Intro
F5   F5

Bb5                D5
I know a girl with cuts on her legs.
A5                          Bb5
I think that she hates the way she was made,
A5                     Bb5
but we never spoke of why they were there,
D5                       Bb5
I just squeezed them and kissed them
F5                   C5           F5 F5
?til we both felt a bit better.


Bb5                          D5
And now I?ve returned to the town where she dwells;
A5                           Bb5
that small lonely cabin her grandfather built,
A5                            Bb5
I suppose that?s where she?s imprisoned herself,
D5                 Bb5              F5         C5
to write all those words she?s too scared to tell ?
D5         Bb5                 F5           C5               F5 F5
those sad, short stories of a girl curled up in her shell.


D5        A5       F5            C5
Night and day she tends to the bar.
F5             F5                Bb5        F5
She pours the drinks, they pour out their hearts.
D5       A5          F5     C5
All that sorrow and al-co-hol

F5                  F5
weighs hard on her thoughts,
       Bb5
so she writes them down?.
Bb5                  F5  F5
she loves them all.


Bb5
And when we?d make love
D5
she?d stare in my eyes?.
A5                    Bb5
I swore we had met a thousand times.
A5                   Bb5
Thousands of lives, thousands of nights?.
      D5      Bb5       F5        C5
She?d written within a thousand lines.

(pause)


D5        A5       F5            C5
Night and day she tends to her bar.
F5              F5           Bb5      F5
She pours me a drink for my thirsty heart.
D5     A5           F5     C5
All my sorrow?s in al-co-hol?
F5               F5         Bb5
she holds up the cup to my parched lips
            F5   F5
for a kiss.
