D5                              C                     Em
She says, it helps with the lights out
D5                                      C                      Em
Her rabid glow is like braille to the night
D5        Dm7                   C                     Em
She swears, I'm a slave for the details
D5                              Dm7                 C          Em    
But if your life is such a big joke why should I care

Dm                                                           C
The clock is set for nine, but you know you're gonna make it eight
Dm                                                           C
So you two can take some time and teach each other to reciprocate

Dm                                                     C                  Em
She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kid's gloves
Dm                                             C               Em
She doesn't know that I've left my urge in the icebox
Dm         Dm7                     C              Em
She swears I'm just prey for the female
Dm                                    Dm7                         C        Em
Well then hook me up and throw me babycakes, cuz I like to get hooked

Dm                                                           C
The clock is set for nine but you know you're gonna make it eight
Dm                                                                     C
All the people that you've loved, they're all bound to leave some keepsakes
Dm                                                               C
I've been swinging all the time, think it's time I learned your ways
Dm                                                         C
Picture you and me together in the jungle it'd be okay

D5                                                 C        Em
I'll bring you when my lifeboat sails through the night
D5                                  C      Em
That is supposing that you don't sleep tonight

F       Am       C
                    It's like learning a new language
F      Am        C
                    While we catch up on my mind
F      Am        C
                    If you don't bring up those lonely parts
F      Am        C
                    This could be a good time

You get the idea, the F, Am, C progression continues for the rest of the song. 

Hope that was helpful, still getting used to the formatting a bit. Great tune and 
relatively simple chords to strum along with. Enjoy!
