verse 1 
F# C#     G#m                      B 
I suppose one, one, one who hasn't seen 
    A#m     B 
The earlier frames 
      F#    C# G#m                D#m 
Could say I am advancing up this road 
  B 
I am 
C#    B 
Advancing 

verse 2 
F#     C# G#m 
Pale as a banshee sun 
                    D#m 
Think I should stop checking myself out 
       A#m        B 
In the windows of cars 
     C#             B             F#           C# 
When I could see my future in her pictures of relatives 

Pre-Chorus 
    A#m       G#m       B 
How simple my heart can be 
    A#m        G#m       B 
How simple my heart can be 
C# 
Frightens me 

G#m   B             D#m 
Don't worry we will both find out 
     F# 
Just not together 

Bridge 
A#m       G#m 
Your hand was on me 
          A#m  B 
It seemed like you were being sweet 
A#m    G#m 
Here I am again 
A#m    B 
At the reserve to drink 

verse 4 
     F#  C#     G#m  
It's not that I thought 
G#m 
Like all of a sudden you change 
        D#m 
We were covered in each other's snot 
      A#m       B 
In my childhood bed 
        C#                  B 
Well it seemed like we were being sweet 
    F#               C# 
Her pictures of relatives 

Pre-Chorus 
    A#m       G#m       B 
How simple my heart can be 
    A#m       G#m       B 
How simple my heart can be 
C# 
Frightens me 

G#m   B             D#m 
Don't worry we will both find out 
     F# 
Just not together 

Outro 
A#m    G#m 
We will find out 
B                F# G#m 
Here I am again 
C#                 F# 
At the reserve to drink
