you took my [Ab]heart
and i just sat there drinking [Eb]water
and my [Ab]heart suffered more and more each [Eb]day
when we're apart, my love
you lay me like a child would
and take my heart
please let me lie down on your couch
and time and time again
i tell my baby we're just friends
and then she spends the morning
hanging out with them
and lends her weekly virgin vision to the end
i'm sorry, i'm really sorry, i really am
[Ab]i don't even wanna
i don't even need things she [Eb]sends
i don't wanna listen to you
i don't wanna spend time with her [Ab]friends
i don't wanna do things for her
i don't wanna go down on her
[Eb]i don't wanna tell you it's the end
//idk about the arpeggio thing, but this sounds ok on high E:

KIDS GET AWAY----------------------------------------------------------------
[C]I follow you [Am]home
and [C]I borrow your [Am]phone.
You keep [F]letting all the children on your block
keep slashing your [C]tires.
[C]I was covered in [Am]mace.
[C]Lover, they cut up your [Am]face.
[F]Throwing up, I hit the ground ashamed
as the kids drove[C] away.
[C]I’m annoyed by the [Am]sound
[C]that keeps leaving your[Am] mouth,
and [F]at the hospital I see your eyes
staring at [C]mine.
And, a[F]s that bitch births hell inside my brain,
we let the kids get [C]away.
aw[Am]ay
we let the kids get [C]away.
aw[Am]ay
//rest of the song is the same progression
[C]I wanna help you to [Am]bed
and [C]I wanna do what you [Am]said.
As a[F]ll the compliments go to my [(Fm)]head,
it’s disillusion [C]again.
[C]I wanna get in your [Am]shower
and [C]I wanna be with yo[Am]u now.
Your [F]face heals up and now you look like me
how u[C]nfortunately.
And, as I [F]tear the fucking rubble from your face,
we let the kids get[C] away.
aw[Am]ay
we let the kids get[C] away.
aw[Am]ay
And I [F]see them almost every fucking [(Fm)]day.
We let the kids get [C]away.
aw[Am]ay...
BLACK MADONNA---------------------------------------------------------------
//I would be shocked if this was even remotely correct. Props to anyone with better ears
trying to get it right.
[E]i don't care if you [B]believe in greener pastures
[C#m]it's all it's all
and you can [F#m]keep your silly metaphors
and i[E] don't think that i'll be w[B]orrying about your pastor
[C#m]who's been sleeping on your[F#m] mattress, anymore
[A]i hung my love up what was[C#m] left of me when i was only [B]seventeen
and it's been[B/F#] mocking me
[A]i'll tell my boss to go an[C#m]d fuck himself in probably ju[B]st another week
[(B/F#m)]
[E]taller grass it seems to ge[B]t me into trouble these d[C#m]ays
and can i [F#m]please borrow your plow?
[E]and sleazy gas attendants s[B]educe your siblings it's [C#m]hard
and can i[F#m] please borrow your car?
[C#m]i was obsessed with you
when i saw you[F#m] around
[C#m]and i was trying so hard
to drive you a[F#m]round
//This is definitely wrong but its what ive been playing so yea..
oh please come s[B]ave me my [E]lord
oh please come s[B]ave me my [E]lord
oh please come l[C#m]ift me up [E]you angel
l[C#m]ift me up you ha[B]ndsome devil
[C#m]polish my co[E]rroded so[B/F#]ul
[E]they can call it what you [B]want you're just depressed well it[C#m]'s hard
and i'[F#m]ll be better by next week
[A]due to lack of sleep and lo[C#m]velessness and stress it's a s[B]cream
but i [B/F#]don't wanna go
[E]and you can take me to the[B] shrine of the black madonna to get[C#m] saved
[F#m]she keeps mocking me
[A]and i will run right to hi[C#m]s side but we can both see that i w[B]on't behave
[(B/F#)]

and says i'[Em]m sorry
[Em]even well prepared you had a d[G]iligent
teenager for a b[D]oyfriend
[Em]and i'm your boyfriend
next [Em]time that i collapse into your a[G]rms

with all th[Em]e shit shows
and [Em]going out is such a waste of [G]time
but let [D]me out
let me out show me th[G]e door
i'm sleeping on your [D]floor
with my head on your [C]chest
they say it takes more than i[Em] got
the may sun sets so [G]slow
on a[D]nnie

but i c[A]an't say no
A D (repeat)

and i [Em]believed you
your t[Em]ouchy little fingers
through my [G]hair you write your name
across my[D] forearm
an[Em]d i belong to you
and g[Em]oing out is such a waste of[G] time
but let [D]me out
let me out show me th[G]e door
i'm sleeping on your [D]floor
with my head on your [C]chest
they say it takes more than i[Em] got

[G]my friends they don't [C]respect me
yet they [G]tell me that they [C]love me
let the l[G]ord lay his han[C]d on me
'cause i [Em]want to settle [Am]down
no i[Em] want to drive ar[Am]ound
//same thing until the chorus
baby don't mistake me
baby tells me that he hates me
and the lord has been so good to me
i want to settle down
no i want to drive around
i thought i saw my brother cry
and tried to make his pain subside
and licked the tears from out his eyes
i want to settle down
no i want to drive around
to say i would go down on you for days
is still an understatement
your friends still have anxiety
i want to settle down
no i want to drive around
//for this ive been strumming whole chords:
[C]and all my friends are t[G]here
and the [Am]cops show up, well the [D]cops shut up
[C]will you drive me [G]home
'cause i'm s[Am]eeing light in the [D]strangest place
at l[C]east i'm still [G]alive
can you [Am]kiss me dear, will you[D] kiss me?
i'm tryi[C]ng to be faithful, can you [G]tell?
//back to the fingerpicking thing
[G]love will take our [C]sanity and
[G]if i do fuck wit[C]h your head
know no[G]ne of us are s[C]aints in here
i [Em]want to settle [Am]down
no [Em]i want to drive [Am]around
with some young lover's number tattooed
just below your ankle, baby
will you come away with me?
i want to settle down
ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL---------------------------------------------------------
asleep at the [B]wheel
i'm on my [C#m]way
what a wonderful [E]goal- to expire
don't you w[C#m]ake me
i'm not as selfish as you [B]claim
but i've made [C#m]mistakes
traveling means l[E]ove
don't you try to [C#m]save me
‘cause i'm [B]okay
yes i'[C#m]m okay
i'm ok[B]ay
i'm ok[C#m]ay
and you're [B]mine
you're [C#m]mine
i'm your [E]moth
and you're my [F#]light
it takes a lot to mellow[B] out
i'm u[C#m]nimpressed
the source of your[E] joy is away
it keeps pulling on my[C#m] sleeve
and you can follow me to [B]hell
but i'll never t[C#m]ell
if you're into f[E]ickle guys
i can be your sunburned-back bl[C#]ack fair-skinned child
‘cause i'm [B]okay
yes i'[C#m]m okay
i'm ok[B]ay
i'm ok[C#m]ay
and you're [B]mine
you're [C#m]mine
i'm your [E]moth
and you're my [F#]light
asleep at the [B]wheel
i'm on my w[C#m]ay
what a wonderful [E]goal- to die
don't you wa[C#m]ke me
i'm not as selfish as you [B]claim
but i've made m[C#m]istakes
traveling means [E]love
don't you try to [C#m]save me
’cause i'm o[B]kay
CAITLIN--------------------------------------------------------------------
[G]caitlin don't you [C]hide your love [G]away

[G]caitlin that's a r[C]eal far way to [G]drive
i still sit aroun[Am]d complaining all the t[G]ime
[G]caitlin that's a [C]real far way to d[G]rive for me
and that [Am]distance gonna drive me to [G]insanity
[D]i've begun to think of love as an impossibility
do you a[Em]gree?
i[D]'ve begun to think of sex the way i do money
and i'll be [Em]swinging by my neck
from [G]atop your balcony
and i'll be [D]eaten by your pets they love the taste of blood
and will you [Em]take care of my debt
cos w[G]hen it rains it floods
and i'm [C]sorry about the earth around you caving in
i'm s[G]orry about the earth around you caving in
i'm s[C]orry about the earth around you caving in
i'm s[G]orry
[G]caitlin now your [C]sister's gone for [G]good
i'm still [Am]doing all the things i said i w[G]ould
[G]caitlin i don't [C]mean to make you [G]cry
but i'm [Am]selfish and i need you in my li[G]fe
[G]baby don't you [C]move back to your [G]mom's
[Am]distance doesn't make us grow more [G]fond of you
[D]i've begun to think of love as an impossibility
do you a[Em]gree?
i[D]'ve begun to think of sex the way i do money
and i'll be [Em]swinging by my neck
from [G]atop your balcony
and i'll be [D]eaten by your pets they love the taste of blood
and will you [Em]take care of my debt
cos w[G]hen it rains it floods
and i'm [C]sorry about the earth around you caving in
i'm s[G]orry about the earth around you caving in
i'm s[C]orry about the earth around you caving in
i'm s[G]orry
