Tuned down half step to Eb
this took my about 10 mins so listen for the time....

G, D , C x2


G
Measure me in metered lines
      B
And one decisive stare
      D                               C
The time it takes to get from here to there
    G
My ribs that show through t-shirts
             B
And these shoes I got for free
         D
I'm unconsoled
       C
I'm lonely
      D               C     B       A
I am so much better than I used to be

G, D, C x2

2nd verse same as the first

Terrified of telephones
And shopping malls and knives
Drowning in the pools of other lives
Rely a bit too heavily
On alcohol and irony
Get clobbered on by courtesy
    D                  C         B           A
in love with love and lousy poetry

G                        C
And I'm leaning on this broken fence

         Em                 C
Between past and present tense
           G              C
And I'm losing all those stupid games
         Em              C
That I swore I'd never play
           Em    D     G       D         C   G       D         C
But it almost feels okay

B                     D
Circumnavigate this body
Em            D        C
Of wonder and uncertainty
B                             D
Armed with every precious failure
Em        D          C
And amature cartography

I'm breathing deep before
    D            C                     B       A
I spread those maps out on my bedroom floor

G                        C
And I'm leaning on this broken fence

         Em                 C
Between past and present tense
           G              C
And I'm losing all those stupid games
         Em              C
That I swore I'd never play
           Em    D              G       D         C
But it feels okay    And I'm leaving with goodbye
G             D       C
And I'm losing but I'll try
Em              D
With the last ways left
Em              D
To remember sing
Em              D         G
My imperfect offering
