G1 G7sus4 Am7

The mi- - nus is love-less,

G2 G7sus4

He talks to the land

G1 Am7

And the leaves fall

G7sus4

And the pond over-ices.

G1 Am7

She don’t know the sys-tem, plus

G6sus2,4 Gmaj7

She don’t un- - -derstand

G2 G7sus4 G1 Am7

She’s got all the wrong fu- - ses and spli-ces

G2 G7sus4 G1 Am7

She’s not gonna fix it up too easy.

G1 G7sus4 Am7

The mask- ing tape tan-gles,

G2 G7sus4

It’s stic-ky and black. And

G1 Am7

The cop-per

G7sus4

Proud headed Queen Lizzie

G1 Am7

Con-ducts little char-ges

G6sus2,4 Gmaj7

That don’t get charged back.”

G G7sus4 G Am7

Well, the technical man- - -u- -al’s bus-y

G G7sus4 G1 Am7

She’s not gonna fix it up too easy.

G G7sus4

And she holds out her flash- light

G1 Am7

And she shines it on me.

G2 G7sus4

She wants me to tell her

G1 Am7

What the trouble might be.

G1

Well, I’m learning

Am7

It’s peaceful

G6sus2,4 Gmaj7

With a good dog and some trees,

G2 G7sus4

Out of touch with the break- down

G1 Am7

Of this cen-tury

G2 G7sus4 G1

They're not gonna fix it up

Am7

Too easy

G1 – G7sus4 – G1 – Am7 – G1

G2 – G1 – G7sus4 – G1

Am7 – G7sus4

G1 – Am7 – G6sus2,4 – Gmaj7

G2 – G7sus4 – G1 – Am7

We once loved - together

And we floodlit that time

Input – output – electricity

But the lines overloaded

And the sparks started flying

And the loose wires

Were lashing out at me

She's not gonna fix it up

Too easy

But she hold out her candle

And she shines it in

And she begs him to show her

How to fix it again

While the song that he sang her

To soothe her to sleep

Runs all through her circuits

Am7

Like a heartbeat

G2 G7sus4 G1 Am7

She's not gonna fix it up

F6/G G7

Too eas- - -y

ending: F6/G – G7 (repeat until fade)
