[Intro]
C Cmaj7/B Am
C Cmaj7/B Am

[Verse 1]
C          Cmaj7/B
We both may be rotten
     Am
apples within the
 others eyes
C          Cmaj7/B
Nails down the chalkboard,
 Am
 or shivers down the spine
C          Cmaj7/B
Some bad bad thought,
     Am
that’s now mutual
 of course
C          Cmaj7/B
I hear we both shudder
    Am
 at the thought of the other
C
A slight reminder
  Cmaj7/B
and I will
feel dismayed
Am
I try to find the word,
the opposite of saudade
C
That can explain
   Cmaj7/B
this hateful delight
Am
Where I feel a rush of
 gratitude that you aren’t
 in my life

C Cmaj7/B Am
C Cmaj7/B Am

[Chorus]
C
And I sincerely
                      Em
hope that you don’t listen
to this song
F
Curiosity don’t best you
and I can carry on
                C
outside your head
                Em
Oh please just treat
 me like I’m dead
           F
Or better yet did not exist
C
And I sincerely hope
                Em
 that you don’t listen
 to this song
F
Curiosity don’t best you
 and I can carry on
               C
 outside your head
                Em
Oh please just treat
me like I’m dead
           F
Or better yet did not exist
C Cmaj7/B Am

[Verse 2]
C         Cmaj7/B
I hope to see there’s
    Am
 no remanence of me
          C
I wish to linger
         Cmaj7/B
 no longer
Am
There is no nostalgia
C          Cmaj7/B     Am
I hope to see a blank space
in place of me
        C      Cmaj7/B
My name crossed out and
  Am
 kept out of your mouth

[Chorus]
C
And I sincerely hope that
           Em
 you don’t listen
 to this song
F
Curiosity don’t best you
 and I can carry on
               C
 outside your head
                Em
Oh please just treat
me like I’m dead
           F
Or better yet did not exist
C
And I sincerely hope that
           Em
 you don’t listen
 to this song
F
Curiosity don’t best you and
I can carry on outside
        C
 your head
                Em
Oh please just treat me
like I’m dead
           F
Or better yet did not exist
C Em G

[Outro]
C              Em
When it boils down I’m a
          G
 furrowed brow you’d
 rather forget
C                    Em
Shared feelings with me the
           G
other we see wastes space
in our head
C               Em
And if we could choose some
           G
people to lose all memory of
C                 Em
I doubt that we’d flinch
              G
hesitate one bit we’d
dream of it gone
C                 Em
These feelings of dread
                G
 at once put to bed some
 sad sweet relief
C           Em
It keeps me awake your
         G
 memory stains so
please let me sleep
C                  Em
Now please wash my brain,
                 G
 relieve me this pain,
                        C
 for both of our sakes
