Nonpareil of Favor


D            A
Bbaug  A     Bm
Em           Em7


   D                A
My lover, I've been donating
        Bbaug    A
Time to review
        Bm
All the misinterpretations 
       Em          Em7
That define me and you

D            A
Bbaug  A/C#  Bm
G            Em

                   
I'm thinking about you 
In my secret language
Because I know you're the only one 
Who can help me take it easy

Now I'm happy in the head 
Knowing there ain't no sucker in the world 
That's a threat to us 
But we've become material

It's like, hey, you were always there 
Just on the tip of my tongue
And I needed you to happen, yeah

And now that you've happened
And it really, really, really came true
I feel like I ought to thank somebody
So I thought I'd thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you

Dm

       G
So I'm calling your ass up 
        F
At like three in the morning 
         Eb
Saying, "Wake up, young dragon 
                        D
Let's go get compromised"
You'll be my little ally
    C
And you can have it which way you choose

        G
Now I'm so bombed out by your paradigm kisses
         G
How I've hacked at our southern hemispherical 
                     F
Eleven gods now, I'm cracking my sweet love
    C
I'm cracking my sweet love
    G
I'm cracking my sweet love
    Bm                        Bb
I'm cracking my sweet love

(3:12)
There are a few guitars playing lots of different notes, which are hard to distinguish.
This is probably the best way to play the chord on one guitar.

   A*
e|-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0----|
b|-9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9----|
g|-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11---|
d|-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11---|
a|-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0----|
