Love julien more than anything. here's the chords for the last (incredible) song on her album, if you think I
missed something feel free to let me know in the comments.
[intro] 
Bm  D  G  Em
[verse]
BmCollecting the ciDrcles that tell us
How oGld we are beneEmath our eyelids
WBmearing a purpDle badge to pGrove what I did
Pump the vitEmals out of my wBmrist
'Cause I'm condDucting an expGeriment on how Emit feels to BmdieD  G  Em  
Or stay aliBmveD  G  Em  
BmSo try to stay calDm, 'cause nobody knGows
The violent paEmrtner you carry arounBmd
With claws in your bDack, ripping your clGothes
And listing your faiEmlures out loudBm  
It's more than the skeDleton next to my coGat
The black that I helEmd in the back of my throaBmt
Follows you straigDht into the darkG;
The easy way oEmut and the hardest BmpartD  G  
When it won't BmleavDe mGe aloneEm  
I'm beBmtter off leGarning
How to beD  
LivEming with dBmemons I've
MistGaken for saiDnts
If you Emkeep it betwBmeen us
I thGink they're the saDme
I thEmink I can lBmove
The siGckness You maDde
'Cause I take Emit all bBmack, I changed my Gmind
I wanted to DstayEm  Bm  G  
I wanted to sDtayBm  G

Love julien more than anything. here's the chords for the last (incredible) song on her album, if you think I

missed something feel free to let me know in the comments.

[intro]

Bm D G Em

[verse]

Bm D

Collecting the circles that tell us

G Em

How old we are beneath our eyelids

Bm D G

Wearing a purple badge to prove what I did

Em Bm

Pump the vitals out of my wrist

D G Em Bm D G Em

'Cause I'm conducting an experiment on how it feels to die

Bm D G Em

Or stay alive

Bm D G

So try to stay calm, 'cause nobody knows

Em Bm

The violent partner you carry around

D G

With claws in your back, ripping your clothes

Em Bm

And listing your failures out loud

D G

It's more than the skeleton next to my coat

Em Bm

The black that I held in the back of my throat

D G

Follows you straight into the dark;

Em Bm D G

The easy way out and the hardest part

Bm D G Em

When it won't leave me alone

Bm G

I'm better off learning

How to be

Em Bm

Living with demons I've

G D

Mistaken for saints

Em Bm

If you keep it between us

G D

I think they're the same

Em Bm

I think I can love

G D

The sickness You made

Em Bm G

'Cause I take it all back, I changed my mind

D Em Bm G

I wanted to stay

D Bm G

I wanted to stay
