 (like so many of her songs).  
The same 3 chords repeat through the entire song. 

C        Em           Am 
Hands under my clothes 
     C      Em   Am 
We can't let it go 
You set it up masterfully 
And then blame it all on me 
Cynicism smothering 
Implanted, blossoming in me 
Our fun is toxic and bold 
Embellished and oversold 
Embody me because i am weak 
I moved out but I never opened my mouth 
I never opened my mouth 
It's late, I'm up on the roof 
In New York, I hung up on you 
I can't pay for the mistakes I made 
So I'll just let this die and decay
