Paralytic States by Against Me!
[Intro]
Eadd9   F#   B   Ex4
[Verse 1]
BShe could hear them fucking through
Those thin hotel walls
She heard Ebabies crying,
She heard laughter, she heard sirens
BRed and blue lights flashing
Through those cheap hotel drapes
Blood spilled Eout on the porcelain
The bath F#tub's over-flowing
[Chorus]
Eadd9Paralytic F#states of dependency
BAll waking G#mlife's just a living dream
Eadd9Agitated F#states of amazement
BNever quite the woman that she G#mwanted to be
BNever quite the woman that she G#mwanted to be
Eadd9   F#   B   Ex2
[Verse 2]
BSpread out faced down on those
Stained cheap hotel sheets
She spent the Elast years of her life
Running from the boy she used to be
BCut her face wide open
Shaved the bone down thin
Plumped her Elips up exaggerated
A fucked up F#kind of feminine
[Chorus]
Eadd9Paralytic F#states of dependency
BAll waking G#mlife's just a living dream
Eadd9Agitated F#states of amazement
BNever quite the woman that she G#mwanted to be
BNever quite the woman that she G#mwanted to be
[Bridge]
Gadd9   A   D   Bmx2
[Verse 3]
DNight time at the hotel there was fighting in the hall
Thin chain Glock to keep the world out
She held her breath till it was gone
DStanding naked in front of that hotel bathroom mirror
In her dysGphoria's reflection
She still Asaw her mother's son
[Chorus]
Gadd9Paralytic Dstates of Adependency
Gadd9All waking Dlife's just a Aliving dream
Gadd9Agitated Dstates of Aamazement
Gadd9Never quite the woman that she Awanted to be
Gadd9Never quite the woman that she Awanted to be
[Outro]
By the Gadd9time the Aball dropped it was Dalready Bmover
By the Gadd9time the Aball dropped it was Dalready Bmover
No Gadd9resolutions for the Anew year beginning toDmorrow
