E                  Dsus2
Picking up broken words
C#m
Snipping the tips off
Amaj7/C#
Grinding down the long ones
C#m7
That wind around your eardrums

E                  Dsus2
Dangerous plastic words
C#m
For crowd dispersal
Amaj7/C#
And dumb dumb words
C#m7
That could blow your head off

[Chorus]
C#m       A                E
This is a story 'bout the three of us
A           E             G#m      A
Down by the water and the tide is rising
C#m           A                E
This world is burning and I'm terrified
A         E          B         C#m
I need a little more time with you, oh
A         E          B               A   B    E
I just need a little more time with you

[Verse 2]
E                  Dadd9
One fine day you'll sing
C#m
Your inevitable love song
Amaj7/C#
Inevitable lie song
C#m7/A
Inevitable cry song

E                  Dadd9
Time bends broken bones
C#m                 A
Time bends broken bones
          C#m/A              Amaj7
'Til they wrap around your throat
     C#m7/A
And snap around your fingers

[Chorus]
C#m       A                E
This is a story 'bout the three of us
A           E             G#m      A
Down by the water and the tide is rising
C#m           A                E
This world is burning and I'm terrified
A         E          B         C#m   /D#   /E    A    E
I need a little more time with you, oh

A           E             G#m      A
Down by the water and the tide keeps rising
C#m   /D#  /E  A                 E
This world is burning and I'm terrified
A         E          B         C#m  /B
I need a little more time with you
    A             E            B         C#m  /B
Oh, I just need a little more time with you
     A             E/B         B         A/C#    B/D#
Oh please, just a little more time with you

[Outro]
C#m  /D#  /E   A   E
A    E    B    C#m  /B
A    E    B    C#m  /B
