Key: D
Introduction:
D D/C#
A can of cola, an unfilled bathtub
G
For dirty bodies and storing empties
D D/C#
The land-line's nagging, the mail is scattered on the floor
G
And through a keyhole of a triple bolted door
A G D D/C#
It's melodrama, its confused chemicals
Em Em/F# G
It's dirty laundry, its empty Styrofoam.
(Repeat Intro Riff)
D D/C#
The Giants won and all the firecracker shells
G
Are littering the street and I don't give a shit.
D D/C#
My shoes ran off somewhere and I haven't even
G
Cared to organize a search. My ball of nerves
A G
Don't mistake me
Bm A
I'll refuse you if you choose to track me down.
Em Em/F# G
And don't you make me leave
D A4
Without wishing you well 'til I return
Em7 G
From my brief sojourn to the center of the earth
D A4 Em7
As far as I tell you it's not as bad as all of that
G
And I promise not to be reckless
Bm A
Oh heart of mine, heart of mine
G
It's your face that brings me back every time.
(Repeat Intro Riff)
D D/C# G
It's dirty laundry, its empty Styrofoam.
