[G#m]
I am nothing [F#] without pretend [B] I [C#m] know my thoughts [E] can't live without
[G#m] them
I am [B] nothing [F#] without a [B] man [C#m] I know my thoughts [F#] but [E] I can't have [G#m] them
[F#]
[C#m] [E] [B]
[G#m] I still keep [F#] my baby teeth [C#m] in the bedside [E] table with my [G#m] jewelry
You still sleep [F#] in the bed with me, [C#m] my jewelry and my [E] stravy
[G#m] teeth
I [F#]
[G#m] [F#]
[G#m] [F#]
[G#m] [F#]
[G#m]
don't need [F#] all my pills [C#m] when I'm all sore
Then I [E] can barely shut the [G#m] door
But the [F#] airport's full of smoke
I'll hand [C#m] it off to you, turn [E] to smoke
[G#m] I [F#] [D#m]
[C#m] [E] [G#m]
wanted to give you [F#] everything
[G#m] But I [C#m] still stand in awe of [E] superficial [G#m]
things
I wanted to love you [F#] like my mother's, mother's, [C#m] mother's [E] daughter
So who do you want?

NotesBeta

To start learning Wye Oak - Civilian chords, build your understanding on these basic chords - G#m, C#m, E, G#m, F# and E in sequence. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 45 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 91. To match your vocal range and chord inclination, adjust the capo in line with the key: B Major.
