chords: E C#m B C#m B ... at "i felt like an abbreviation of myself" go to A.
they are all of the chords in the entire song, but the order changes.

the notes may not be on exactly the right word, just do the changes by
ear, not when i tell you to :P

E
I’ve chosen to remember you exactly as you are
C#m               B           C#m         B
If looks could be pickled and stored in a jar
E
1997 trapped inside a conversation
C#m               B                C#m          B                  A
That party was so loud I felt like an abbreviation of myself

E C#m B C#m B  x2

E
Finally got around to vacating the nest
C#m                 B            C#m           B
But my knowledge of survival was pedestrian at best
E
Now I’m holding down a job penning poems by the kilo
c#m                     B             C#m              B           A
Our guest is dressed by hand-me-down, hair designed by pillow

B
Tie shoes in bows
Walk tall in those

E C#m B C#m B

E
Don’t start counting your pennies, the night is but a pup
C#m                      B                   C#m              B
There’s things happening above you, you must remember to look up
E
And you will marvel at how it’s so easy to forget
C#m                 B                   C#m               B        A
A moon that hung so bright you could’ve lit your cigarette

    B
The light that it throws

Smash through windows

E                        C#m               B       
We’re singing words, the meaning’s long forgotten
A                 B
Corroded over time
E                        C#m                    B      
The air’s so thick you’d swear you’re breathing cotton
A
Assuming your own nom de plume
Invite someone back to your room

-Instrumental: Just a mix of the chords/intro plucking

A
    B                   
The light that it throws
Smash through windows

E                        C#m               B       
We’re singing words, the meaning’s long forgotten
A                  B
Corroded over time
E                        C#m                    B        
The air’s so thick you’d swear you’re breathing cotton
A                          B  
You’re falling down on mine

E                            C#m               B        
We’re all singing words, the meaning’s long forgotten
A
So every person and their spouse
Lay entwined throughout the house

While meanwhile on another couch
I’ve the pleasure of finding out
The difference between north and south
The mechanical moving mouth

        E
He said “These are my principles

If you don’t like them I got others
C#m        B
This is my opinion
             C#m                B         E
If you don’t agree I’ve got big brothers”
