G C F C
[Verse 1]
   GWhy don’t you ever want to play?
   CI’m tired of this piece of string
   DYou sleep as much as I do now and you
  CDon’t eat much of GanythingD/F#  
  GI don’t know who you’re talking to
  CI’ve made a search through every room
  DBut all I found was dust that moved
  And Cshadows of the aGfternoonD/F#  
[Chorus 1]
And Glisten
About those Cbitter songs you sing
They’re not Amhelping anything
They won’t Cmake you Gstrong
[Verse 2]
  GSo we should open up the house
  CInvite the tabby two doors down
  DYou can ask your sister if
  CShe doesn’t bring her Gbasset houndD/F#  
  GAnd as for things you shouldn’t miss
  CTape hiss and the modern man
  DCold war and card catalogues
  CTo come and join us iGf they canD/F#  
  GFor girly drinks and parlour games
  CWe’ll pass around the easy lie
  DOf absolutely no regrets
  CThen later maybe yGou could tryD/F#  
  GTo let your losses dangle off
  CThe sharp edge of the century
  DWe’ll talk about the weather or
  CHow the weather uGsed to beD/F#  
[Chorus 2]
And I’ll Gcater
With all the Cbirds that I can kill
Let their Amtiny feathers fill
DisappCointment
GLie down
Lick the sCorrow from your skin
Scratch the Amterror and begin
To beliCeve you’re stGrong
[Instrumental]

I Gswear I’m going to D#bite you hard

D/F#

[Intro]

G C F C

[Verse 1]

Why don’t you ever want to play?

I’m tired of this piece of string

You sleep as much as I do now and you

C G D/F#

Don’t eat much of anything

I don’t know who you’re talking to

I’ve made a search through every room

But all I found was dust that moved

C G D/F#

And shadows of the afternoon

[Chorus 1]

And listen

About those bitter songs you sing

They’re not helping anything

C G

They won’t make you strong

[Verse 2]

So we should open up the house

Invite the tabby two doors down

You can ask your sister if

C G D/F#

She doesn’t bring her basset hound

And as for things you shouldn’t miss

Tape hiss and the modern man

Cold war and card catalogues

C G D/F#

To come and join us if they can

For girly drinks and parlour games

We’ll pass around the easy lie

Of absolutely no regrets

C G D/F#

Then later maybe you could try

To let your losses dangle off

The sharp edge of the century

We’ll talk about the weather or

C G D/F#

How the weather used to be

[Chorus 2]

And I’ll cater

With all the birds that I can kill

Let their tiny feathers fill

Disappointment

Lie down

Lick the sorrow from your skin

Scratch the terror and begin

C G

To believe you’re strong

[Instrumental]

G C F C

[Bridge]

G D# Em C

All you ever want to do is drink and watch TV

C G C

Frankly that thing doesn’t really interest me

G D#

I swear I’m going to bite you hard

Em C#

And taste your tinny blood

D# D Em Am

If you don’t stop the self-defeating lies you’ve been repeating

Since the day you brought me home

G C F C

I know you’re strong

G C F C

I know you’re strong

G C F C

I know you’re strong

G C F C

I know you’re strong

[Outro]
