I'm still working on this..
but for now you can play it like this..
the real way to play it is up on the neck with bar chords. but this is easier for people
learn.. and it sounds better if you don't have a full band.
some of the start are harmonics..
this is what you do for the verses
"take a leaf of paper and draw your mind bourbon brown that can burn my eyes

Lock the door, let's talk it out,
Against the wall, hands on my mouth,
Could this be it, is it really over now?
You wore a pink t-shirt and khaki pants,
You sang your songs and danced your dance,
I unwrapped your presents underneath your feet
Nine to eleven you're getting weak,
The tile is cold, I can barely speak,
And I think she's gone, but I'll be sure for safety's keeping
then
"if you say no, then no it will be"

I'll stick it at our skin, pierced with colly strings,
Just play it cool yeah, and try avoid being seen
I'll stick it at our skin, pierced for nothing
---(basically do the same thing for this part.. but you can make it sound louder by
the Chords)------
"well yeah I saw inside the mirror and your smoking gun,
Along in the sign, the hours, the subscribing one by one,
And I fell so fast in Seth Ott's bedroom,
You said you saw it coming but you didn't see nothing,
Your eyes are on the living room your eyes are on the closet,
Don't worry about, don't worry about anything
A pity invitation to an akward house,
For pseudo-boy who would rather wear a blouse,
I sincerely saw your skin for the very first time
My curly hair and a voting booth,
Confessingly, this is the first time I've loved you,
And God I mean, God I mean it, I hope that I mean it"
"'Cause like dying young, idols got the best of me,"

Well don't stop calling, you're the reason I love losing sleep,
And the building collapse, we'll shop one for something
I'll stick it at our skin, pierced for something
