When playing the Bm* try and avoid hitting the low E string until appropriate, 
otherwise it throws the progression.
First verse is the same as the others:
CI threw the Gfirst stone, CI broke the Gdoor
And Csomeone got Emstuck inside and Cfell to the Gfloor
And CI drove for Ghours, Clandlocked and Gblank
CHills all Emaround me with Cno one to Gthank
Now when I got back here and climbed up my tree
And nobody saw me, I watched them so carefully
Trapped like mosquitoes fucking blood from your arms
Crushed so serenely, without an alarm
But Amyou still C/Gwant me Gback
In the Amroom when it was Emcold
And we were Cwalking crookeGdG/F#  Em7  D  
I count the copies, I kept receipts
I kept the blisters on the bottom of my feet
Well I'm your assistant or maybe you're mine
But either way you see it, you won't make a dime
Because we don't want it easy, we don't like the plot
We don't take precaution when we know that we should
But if we both just admit it, that we both make mistakes
I think we can handle all the change and the headache
AmBut you still Cget me Gout
When you Amkick me twice
And Emtook the keys and Cput them in my GhandsG/F#  Em7  D

I fell asleep, accidentally so
And I didn't wake up 'til an hour ago
So I stood in the window, still half-asleep
With a stone in my hand, the criticisms I keep
I can't write conclusions that ever make sense
Cuz I can't end a story when I'm still on the fence
So I threw the last stone and that set me free
So I wrote no conclusion and came down from my tree

When playing the Bm* try and avoid hitting the low E string until appropriate,

otherwise it throws the progression.

First verse is the same as the others:

C G C G

I threw the first stone, I broke the door

C Em C G

And someone got stuck inside and fell to the floor

C G C G

And I drove for hours, landlocked and blank

C Em C G

Hills all around me with no one to thank

Now when I got back here and climbed up my tree

And nobody saw me, I watched them so carefully

Trapped like mosquitoes fucking blood from your arms

Crushed so serenely, without an alarm

Am C/G G

But you still want me back

Am Em

In the room when it was cold

C G G/F# Em7 D

And we were walking crooked

I count the copies, I kept receipts

I kept the blisters on the bottom of my feet

Well I'm your assistant or maybe you're mine

But either way you see it, you won't make a dime

Because we don't want it easy, we don't like the plot

We don't take precaution when we know that we should

But if we both just admit it, that we both make mistakes

I think we can handle all the change and the headache

Am C G

But you still get me out

When you kick me twice

Em C G G/F# Em7 D

And took the keys and put them in my hands
