D#m

[Verse 1]
B         C#m                       E                 D#m
 So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes
B             C#m          D#m           E            D#m
 No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight
B          C#m           D#m           E                D#m
 Soul deep in this swill with the most familiar of swine
    C#m        E         B
For reasons wretched and divine

[Verse 2]
B          C#m
 She blows out of nowhere,
    E                     D#m
a roman candle of the wild
B         C#m     D#m           E           D#m
 Laughing her way through my feeble disguise
B            C#m        D#m        E              D#m
 No other version of me I  would rather be tonight
    C#m             E       B
And lord, she found me just in time

[Pre-Chorus]
              G#m7        D#           E
'Cause with my    midyouth  crisis all said and done
             A
I need to be youthfully felt 'cause, God,
            A#     B B         C#m
I never felt  young   She's gonna save me,
     E
call me baby Run her hands through my hair

[Chorus]
D#m
B            C#m   D#m       E
 She'll know me crazy, sooth me daily Better yet,
she wouldn't care
D#m
G#m            F#  D#m
   We'll steal a Lexus,
   E
be detectives Ride 'round picking up clues
D#m
B           C#m      D#m        E
 We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson
Raise 'em on rhythm and blues

[Verse 3]
B
 Lord,
     C#m                         E                    D#m
it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometime
B          C#m  D#m          E                      D#m
 Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine
B         C#m        D#m                E
 Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside
     D#m C#m            E         B
We'd sit back and watch the world go by

[Pre-Chorus]
     G#m7      D#
Happy    to lie  back,
      E
watch it burn and rust
A
We tried the world
                   A#    B
Good God it wasn't for us

[Chorus]
B         C#m
 She's gonna save me,
     E
call me baby Run her hands through my hair
D#m
B            C#m   D#m       E
 She'll know me crazy, sooth me daily Better yet,
she wouldn't care
D#m
G#m            F#  D#m
   We'll steal a Lexus,
   E
be detectives Ride 'round picking up clues
D#m
B           C#m      D#m        E
 We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson
Raise 'em on rhythm and blues

[Verse 4]
B          C#m
 Cut clean from the dream that night,
E                D#m
let my mind reset
B           C#m
 Looking up from a cigarette,
E                 D#m
she's already left
B                C#m         D#m                E
 I start digging up the yard for what's left of me in our
little vignette
    D#m C#m              E  B
For whatever poor soul is coming next

[Chorus]
B         C#m
 She's gonna save me,
     E
call me baby Run her hands through my hair
D#m
B            C#m   D#m       E
 She'll know me crazy, sooth me daily Better yet,
she wouldn't care
D#m
G#m            F#  D#m
   We'll steal a Lexus,
   E
be detectives Ride 'round picking up clues
D#m
B           C#m      D#m        E
 We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson
Raise 'em on rhythm and blues
