[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
G             Bm     Em       D
You could absolutely break my heart
C          G      Em      D
That's how I know we're in love
G                Bm     Em     D
I don't need the sample of the scar
   C                G
So put the down the knife
          Bm  D
We're not swapping blood
C         G
Isn't it enough that we
  G        G/F# Em
 stripped down to our skin?
G        C              D
Cold and porcelain like bathers
 in a painting
    C
And I told you of your past
             G    G/F#        Em
lives, every man you've ever been
   G            Em
It wasn't flattering,
         D
 but you listened like
 it mattered
[Chorus]
C               G      G/F#    Em
I feel crazy in ways I'd never say
C
Will you still love me
       G    G/F#       Em
 if it turns out I'm insane?
C           G
I know what you'll say,
         C
but it helps to hear you
   D         G   G/F# Em D C
say it anyway

[Instrumental]
G G/F# Em D A C

[Verse 2]
       G            Bm
Some October in the future
         Em           D
I'll run out of trash TV
     C              G
And I'll be feeling lonely,
          Em          D
 so I'll walk to karaoke
         G    G/F#       Em
Sing the song you wrote about me
      C                 D
Never once checking the words
            G             Em
I hope that no one sings along
            C         D
I hope that I'm not a regular

[Chorus]
C
Damn, that makes me sad
           G                   Em
It doesn't have to be like that
   G                Em
If you rewrite your life,
            D
may I still play a part?

[Verse 3]
       G                  Em
In the next one, will you find me?
            C
I'll be the boy with
              D
the pink carnation
             G
Pinned to my lapel who looks
      D                 C
 like hell and asks for help
           D               A
And if you do, I'll know it's you
        C
I can't imagine you without
     G          D       Em
 the same smile in your eyes
         C
There is somethin' about you
             G   D  Em
 that I will always recognize
    D
And if you don't remember
       C
I will try to remind you of
     G
the humming birds

[Bridge]
        Em
You know the ones
       C           D
And the baby scorpion
        G              Em
And the winter and the halo
        C                   D
And the walk we took in the red
woods

[Outro]
           G      D      Em
I could go on and on and on
      D                C
(And on and on) and I will
   G      D      Em D
Go on and on and on until
        C
 it all comes back
