INTRO:

Em Bm Csus2 G (x2)


VERSE 1:
E|E|------||--
    Em      D/F#    G*
And all the awkward ways 
           Em        D/F#  G*
that you recoil when I get close 
    Em      D/F#  G*
And oh, the awful grin 
               Em       D/F# G*
that greets me when I'm all alone


VERSE 2:
E|E|------||--
   Em      D/F#      G*
So down on hands and knees, 
         Em       D/F#     G*
choking, gasping, dripping spit 
Em     D/F#       G*
I just can't make good 
       Em D/F#       G*
on any of these promises 


CHORUS:
E|E|------||-
Em                 Bm
  Then he asked me, "what does that mean?" 
Csus2            G
  What's another word for desperate? 
Em          Bm
 Repetition makes an impression 
Csus2           G
 What's another word for desperate?
Em D/F# G*             Em      D/F# G*
I won't be around here for too very long


VERSE 3:
E|E|------||--
   Em      D/F#   G*
So tip the bottle back, 
       Em        D/F#     G*
bubble foam, and watch it break 
Em     D/F#   G*
We can all be sure 
          Em      D/F#        G*
something awful's coming this way 

VERSE 4:
E|E|------||--
   Em        D/F# G*
So take this medicine 
            Em     D/F#      G*
and measure doses, take your time 
       Em           D/F# G*
'cause they'll tear into you 
                Em         D/F#       G*
They will, they will, they will, they will 


D PEAT CHORUS (With "I won't be..." line twice)


INTERLUDE:
E|E|------||----
Em D/F# G* (x4)

    Em           D/F# G*
And they'll tear into you 
                Em         D/F#       G*
They will, they will, they will, they will


OUTRO: 
E|E|------||
Em D/F# G* (x2)

Em                D/F#
Take it apart and let it all go 
G*
Holdin' it back it's all just so... 
Em              D/F#
Why did I care? How did it go? 
G*
Wait for a while and I guess that 
Em D/F#  G*             Em      D/F# G*
I  won't be around here for too very long (x2)
