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-------------- | 



G  C Bm Am7 D C Bm Am7

G
Vivid as a plane wreck

Spilled out on the tarmac
C             Bm            Am7 
I can feel my legs begin to quake
     D               C
Oh I love to wear disguises
      Bm               Am7  
But I hate this masquerade

C            D
Baby you and me
  C                     D
Although we're thick as thieves
    Am          D                   G 
The only time I love you's when you leave


Pulling teeth and deep stares

Strung out in the Spring air
C                 Bm             Am7
I'll just hang my head on out to dry
D            C
I could fake forever
         Bm                 Am7 
But it's just not worth the time

G
Finger snaps and hand claps

Leapfrog over deep cracks
  C             Bm             Am7  
A contradiction falling in the ground
      D          C 
I'm a misery without you
          Bm                Am7
It's just like you're still around

C            D
Baby you and me
  C                     D
Although we're thick as thieves
    Am          D                   G
The only time I love you's when you leave


Timid as a tape deck

Spilling out the same shit
C            Bm              Am7
My attention span left long ago
            D              C 
But there's comfort in the knowledge
          Bm            Am7
That I'll probably die alone

C            D
Baby you and me
  C                     D
Although we're thick as thieves
    Am          D                   G 
The only time I love you's when you leave


C            D
Baby you and me
   C           D
As funny as it seems
    Am          D                   G
The only time I love you's when you leave
    Am          D                   G
The only time I love you's when you leave
