most of the credit for this goes to lostpanda , who posted version 1 , and poisonpancake , who transposed the chords for use with a capo . i Am merely re - writing these for everyone’s ease of use . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - * * * * * capo 3 * * * * * Em well , guy in a skeleton costume G C comes up to the guy in the superman suit Em runs through him with a broadsword i flipped the television off G C bring all the bright lights up Em turn the radio up loud A i don’t know why i’m so persuaded D that if i think things through C long enough and hard enough B i’ll somehow get to you Em but then you came in and we locked eyes A you kicked the ashtray over as we came toward each other C stubbed my cigarette out against the west wall B and quickly lit another Em look at that would you look at that? A we’re throwing off sparks Em D A Em what will i do when i don’t have you B Em to hold onto in the dark? Em yes , everybody’s gonna need a witness G C everybody’s gonna need a little back up Em in case the scene gets nasty you throw the attic window open G C and i throw myself all around you Em and night comes to tallahassee C F i don’t know why it’s gotten harder to keep myself away C thought i’d finally beat the feeling back B it all came back today Em and then we fell down and we locked arms A we knocked the dresser over as we rolled across the floor C i don’t mean it when i tell you B that i don’t love you anymore Em look at that would you look at that? A the way the ceiling starts to swerve Em D A Em what will i do when i don’t have you B when i finally get what i deserve? Em till the end bass changes chords , but i think the guitar part plays just the one chord .
