Chords for Amanda Palmer & The Grand Theft Orchestra - The Bed Song (Discarded Version) (Lyric Video)

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ Exhibit A, [Em] we are friends in a sleeping bag, splitting the heat, we have one filthy pillow
[C] to share, and your [G] lips are in [C] my hair.
_ _ _ _ [G]
[Bm] Someone upstairs [Em] has a rat that we laughed at, and people are drinking and singing Van
[C] Halen and Slayer [G] on a ukulele [C] tear. _ _ _ _
[Em] _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] Exhibit B, [Em] well we found an apartment, it's not much to look at, the futon [C] on a floor,
torn [G] off desktop [C] for a door.
_ _ _ _ [G] All the decor's [Em] made of milk crates and duct tape, and if we have sex they can hear us
through [C] the floor.
But [G] we don't do that _ [C] anymore. _ _ _ _
[Em] I [G] lay there wondering, [C] what is the matter?
[Em] Is this [G] a matter [C] of worse or of better?
[Em] You took [G] the blanket, [C] so I took the bed [Em] sheet, but I [G] would have held you [C] if you'd only [Em] let me.
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] Exhibit [Bm] C, [Em] look how quaint and how quiet, and private our paychecks have bought us a
condo [C] in town.
[G] It's the nicest flat _ [C] around. _ _ _
[G] You picked [D] a mattress [Em] and had it delivered, and I walked upstairs and the sight of it
made my [C] heart pound, and [G] I wrapped my arms [C] around me. _
[Em] And I stood [G] there wondering, [C] what is the [G] matter?
[Em] Is [G] this a matter [C] of worse or of better?
[Em] You walked [G] right past [C] me and straightened the covers, [Em] but I would [G] still love you [C] if
you wanted a lover.
And you said all the money in [Em] the [D] world [G] won't [E] buy [Am] a [B] bed so _ big [C] and _ wide _
to guarantee that you [Em] won't _ [D] _
[G] _ [E] accidentally _ [Am] touch [B] me.
In this [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[D] _ _ [G] _ [E] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] exhibit D [Em] now we're both mostly paralyzed.
Don't know how long we've been lying here [C] in fear, [G] too afraid to even [C] feel.
_ _ _ [G] I find [D] my [Em] glasses and you turn the light out, roll off on your side like you've rolled away
[C] for years, [G] holding back those king [C]-sized tears. _ _ _
[E] And I still don't [G] ask [C] you, what is [G] the matter?
[Em] Is this [G] a matter [C] of worse or of better?
[Em] You [G] take the heart failure, [C] I'll take the cancer.
[Em] I've [G] long stopped [C] wondering why you don't [Em] answer.
_ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ _
[Em] _ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ [D] _ _
[C] _ _ _ [G] Exhibit E, you [Em] can certainly see how fulfilling life, from the cost and size [C] of stone,
[G] of our final resting [C]
home.
_ _ _ _ [G] We got [Bm] some nice [Em] ones right under a cherry tree,
you and me lying the only way [C] we know,
side by [G] side and still [C] and cold. _ _ _
[Em] And I [G] finally ask you, [C] what was the matter?
[Em] Was it [G] a matter [C] of worse or of better?
[Em] You [G] stretch your arms out [C] and finally face me.
[Em] You say, I [G] would have told you [C] if you'd only asked me,
if you'd only asked me, if you'd only asked me.
[Em] _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Em] _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[G] _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [G] _
