verse 1
Em B7
Petite Mort, I'm asking for an answer
C Cm/A G D
Petite Mort, you sang until you slept
Am D7 Em E
Petite Mort, you took yourself, you bastard
C/G D G B7
Petite Mort, the sleeping's all that's left
Em B7
You took apart the sympathetic angle
C Cm/A G D
When you catered to the bitterness inside
Am D7 Em E
Resigned yourself to depths I couldn't handle
C/G D G
A million daily deaths before you die
C/G
Gathered a bouquet
Em
Of roses and posies
A7
And straightened my tie
C/G G
When I got there, you were nowhere I could find
verse 2
Em B7
Through layer after layer of subconscious
C Cm/A G D
I hunted for a reason in the woods
Am D7 Em E
I tore apart the map and started backwards
C/G D G B7
I couldn't picture living there for good
Em B7
I left you there to finish starting fires
C Cm/A G D
And I left you there to propagate your lie
Am D7 Em E
I left you there cos honey, I was tired
C/G D G
I left you but that doesn't make it right
C/G
I remember your bedroom
Em
Ivy and clover
A7
You kept me alive
C/G G
Knives drawn, the butcher world waited outside
