Capo 1

A                         E
I caught you caroling and giving grief
F#m                            C#m
Thought you were cannonballing after me
Ab                          F#m Ab  A       B
Now that your actions speak for themselves
               C#m
And wished you well

A                        E
But you're a mirror I cannot avoid
F#m                        C#m
Strung out and jittery and paranoid
Ab                   F#m   Ab   A      B
A leaky battery that can't keep charged
           F#m  A  B
Get in the car 

E                C#m
And say what you mean
  A         B       E    F#m
Explain yourself to me 
                    C#m                     B     C#m - A - B
and I'll try not to judge you more than you would
E      C#m     A       B      E     F#m
Let me help, I promise not to tell
              C#m              B      Ab - B - C#m - Ab - A
Like anyone's asking or anyone should

Break: (Same strum pattern as verse)
A , E , F#m , C#m , Ab F#m - Ab - A , B , C#m

A                          E
First time I met you I was full of fear
F#m                        C#m
Knew that eventually you'd disappear
Ab                        F#m  Ab A     B
Just when I needed you to burn to smoke
            F#m  A  B
And off you go

E         C#m        A   B       E    F#m
Just come back and peel away the mess
            C#m                  B     C#m - A - B
Lay here beside me and open your eyes
E       C#m       A    B    E      F#m
Take it back your dignity attacked
                 C#m                     B   Ab - B - C#m - Ab - A
Turn back to the person you tried to let die

A                              E
I caught you nesting with your antelope
F#m                      C#m
Glassy eyes from kissing poison frogs
Ab                 F#m    Ab  A     B
Becoming infinite against his couch
          F#m   A  B
Open your mouth 

E           C#m       A       B        E     F#m
and say the words you used to wish you heard
              C#m                  B     C#m - A - B
Back when you focused enough to be good


E             C#m       A       B        E     F#m
And if you're gone, an endless false alarm
                C#m                    B     Ab - B - C#m - Ab - A
Just remember I loved you as long as I could
