Intro: Em  Am  Em  Am  Em  Am  B7

Em  Am       Em       Am            Em
I'm counting back the number of the steps
    Am            Em       B7     C            B7
it took for me to get back on the wagon of the weekend
Em  Am           Em   Am             G
I'll use the autotimer to prove that I'll
     Am       C       D
get home with my imagination
G       Am       C           D
if they find the body in the basement
G      Am   C                  D
in the very house that she was raised in


Em  Am     Em       Am            Em
I'm taking down the number of the times
   Am              Em        B7       C               B7
so when we get the sign from god I'll be the first to call them
Em  Am     Em       Am            G
I'm taking back the number of the beast
      Am     C            D
cause six is not a pretty number
G        Am        C          D
eight or three are definitely better
G    Am      C              D
a is for the address on the letter
G      Am  C D  Em     Am  Em  Am  Em  Am  B7
to my alcoholic friends


Em   Am    Em   Am          Em
I'm trying hard not to be ashamed
Am              G       Am     C         D
not to know the name of who is waking up beside me
G      Am        C              D
or the date, the season, or the city
G      Am        C              D
but at least the ceiling's very pretty
G      Am         C              D
and if you are holding it against me
Em      B7    C      B7
I'll be on my best behavior
Em     B7        C      B7
taking shots for mother nature
Em      B7      C      B7
once my fist is in the cupboard
Em      B7    C       B7
love is never falling over

Interlude: Em  Am  Em  Am  Em  Am  B7

G        Am       C         D
Should I choose a noble occupation?
G    Am      C            D
If I did I'd only show up late and
G        Am         C                D
sick and they would stare at me with hatred
G       Am   C                D
plus my only natural talent's wasted
G     Am  C D   G
on my alcoholic friends
   Am  C D   G
my alcoholic friends
    Am    C D   G
the party never ends
   Am  C D   Em
my alcoholic friends

If this chord is difficult for you to play try this instead:

-() : Original Chords
– > : New Chord

(Bm) > Am

(Gmaj7) > F

(D) > C

(A) > G

— Hope this help to those who can’t play the original chords/ finds it hard to play🍁

I love this song but I would change the Bm to a D instead because it sounds more like the tune. xx

Biography

The Dresden Dolls are an American musical duo from Boston, Massachusetts. Formed in 2001, the group consists of Amanda Palmer (vocals, piano, ukulele, toy piano, harmonica) and Brian Viglione (drums, percussion, guitar, vocals).

They describe their heavily art-damaged and theatrical style as “Brechtian punk cabaret”, a phrase invented by Palmer because she was “terrified” that the press would invent a name that “would involve the word ‘gothic’,”

Genres: , , , .
