CDarling, we're stAmarting, she saidG  
We go alive in a heFartbeat
CWaiting for sAmomething in my carG  
A little hope out of noFthing

I hit a paGtchwork of loneliness, cFrooked and wild
CHung from the stars and dAmropped through the night
To a heaGtwave in hard placelessness, nFeon tiles

Capo 5 - found this way a bit easier, for me at least :)

[Intro]

C Am G F

[Verse]

C Am G

Darling, we're starting, she said

We go alive in a heartbeat

C Am G

Waiting for something in my car

A little hope out of nothing

And through the hum on the line

[Chorus]

C G

She said I was a first time caller

F Am Em

But a long time listener

G D F

I've been waiting a while to talk to you

[Verse]

C Am

Falling like trash from the sky

G F

I hit a patchwork of loneliness, crooked and wild

C Am

Hung from the stars and dropped through the night

G F

To a heatwave in hard placelessness, neon tiles

And I got nothing but time

[Chorus]

C G

She said I was a first time caller

F Am Em

But a long time listener

G D F

I've been waiting a while to talk to you

[Bridge]

Am C F

I want you to love me

C Dm

More than I love you

Am G Am

Tell me if that's something you can do
