[Verse 1]
G F6/G Am7 G5 G7sus4
The minus is loveless, he talks to the land
G Am7 G7sus4
And the leaves fall and the pond overices
G Am7 Am11/G Gmaj7
She don’t know the system, plus she don’t understand
G5 G7sus4 G Am7
She’s got all the wrong fuses and splices
G5 G7sus4 G Am7
She’s not gonna fix it up, too easy
[Verse 2]
G F6/G Am7 G5 G7sus4
The masking tape tangles, it’s sticky and black
G Am7 G7sus4
And the copper proud headed Queen Lizzie
G Am7 Am11/G Gmaj7
Conducts little charges that don’t get charged back
G5 G7sus4 G Am7
Well, the technical ma-----nual’s busy
G5 G7sus4 G Am7
She’s not gonna fix it up, too easy
[Verse 3]
G G5 G7sus4 G Am7
And she holds out her flashlight and she shines it on me
G G5 G7sus4 G Am7
She wants me to tell her what the trouble might be
G Am7 Am11/G Gmaj7
Well, I’m learning, It’s peaceful with a good dog and some trees
G5 G7sus4 G Am7
Out of touch with the breakdown of this century
G5 G7sus4 G Am7
They're not gonna fix it up, too easy
[Bridge]
G G7sus4 G Am7 G G5
G F6/G G
G Am7 Am11/G Gmaj7
G5 G7sus4 G Am7
[Verse 4]
G F6/G Am7 G5 G7sus4
We once loved together and we floodlit that time
Am7 F6/G
Input – output – electricity
G Am7 Am11/G Gmaj7
But the lines overloaded and the sparks started flying
G5 G7sus4 G Am7
And the loose wires were lashing out at me
G5 G7sus4 G Am7
She's not gonna fix it up, too easy
[Verse 5]
G G5 G7sus4 G Am7
But she holds out her candle and she shines it in
G G5 G7sus4 G Am7
And she begs him to show her how to fix it again
G Am7 Am11/G Gmaj7
While the song that he sang her to soothe her to sleep
G5 G7sus4 G Am7
Runs all through her circuits like a heartbeat
[Outro]
G5 G7sus4 G Am7 F6/G G7
She's not gonna fix it up, too eas--------y
F6/G G7
(repeat and fade)
