Lovely, lovely
E
In your jeans, frenzy
C#m7
Another movie that I didn't watch with you
A/E
Another movie and I'm gonna have to move
E
That final terror is in your house somewhere
C#m7
Hiding in boxes, behind closed doorways
A/E
Out from the forest adjacent to your garage
G#m
I've seen its marks at the corner of your eyes
E
Nothing works
C#m7
Nothing works for everyone
A/E
Good stories are bad lives
G#m
Good stories are bad lives

[Chorus]
G#m A C#m F#m E
Take your hands off your neck and hold
B
On to the ghost of my body
E C#m
You know that good lives make bad stories
G#m A F#m
You can text me
E
When punching mattresses gets old
B E
Don't think it'll always be this way
C#m
Not comforted by anything I say
G#m A F#m
We were wrecks before we crashed into each other
[Verse 2]
E
Such a good idea
C#m
If it turns you on
C#m
We have breakdowns
A/E
And sometimes we don't have breakdowns
E
I want to hear you going psycho
E
If you're going psycho I wanna hear
C#m
Every conversation just ends with you screaming
A/E E A E
Not even words, just ah-ah-ah-ahh, ooh hey!

[Powderfinger - Ethan Ives]
E A E
Look out, Mama, there's a white boat coming up the river
A E
With a big red beacon, and a flag, and a man on the rail
A
I think you'd better call John
G#m A
Because it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail
G#m A
And it's less than a mile away
G#m A
I hope they didn't come to stay
G#m A
It's got numbers on the side and a gun
B
And it's making big waves
E A E
E A E
Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassuring
A E
He said, Red means run, son, numbers add up to nothing
A G#m A
But when the first shot hit the docks, I saw it coming
G#m A
Raised my rifle to my eye
G#m A
Never stopped to wonder why
G#m
Then I saw black
A B
And my face splashed in the sky
