Standard (EADGBE)

- XX0232 - XX0797 - XX09119 (no 5th) - xx2032-|

G5 - 3x0033 G5(1) - 3X0032 Em9 - 022032 A -x03330---------|

This song isn’t nearly as hard as these chords would make out, but since there are so

poorly tabbed versions out there, I thought I’d throw mine into the mix which is certainly

bit more accurate.

For the D and G/D chords that open the song and are repeated throughout, you need to

the first finger onto the middle G string, listen for the timing.

So you are going from this: xx0032 ...to this: xx232. And then this:

....to this: xx0797.

The only other thing to note is that she alternates between using the G5 and the G5(1)

as I have labelled it above, so just listen for which is used where.

Intro

Poetry is no place for a heart that's a whore

And I'm young & I'm strong But I feel old & tired, overfired.

And I've been poked & stoked, it's all smoke, there's no more fire

 Only desire

 For you, whoever you are

 For you, whoever you are

Second Verse:

You say my time here has been some sort of joke

 That I've been messing around some sort of incubating period

 For when I really come around I'm cracking up

 And you have no idea

 No idea how it feels to be on your own

 In your own home with the fucking phone

G5 <---- note not G5(1)

And the mother of gloom

 In your bedroom

 Standing over your head

 With her hand in your head, with her hand in your head

 I will not pretend I will not put on a smile

 I will not say I'm all right for you when all I wanted was to be good

 To do everything in truth, to do everything in truth

From here on there are no surprises and you can follow the patterns above and just

to match the chords. Any questions or corrections please feel free to get in contact.
