(0:25 - Play intro/verse above)
[E]Careful with [G#m]words
They are so [C#m]meaningful
[E]Yet [G#m]they scatter like
[C#m]The booze from a breath
This genius is dead
[E]Happy and willing to [G#m]die for your [C#m]love
[E]Happy and willing to [G#m]die  ... [C#m]

(1:10 - Acoustic strum of the same progression, electric over that)
[E]Back in the [G#m]bedroom it’s [C#m]4am
[E]Hear the [G#m]clatter from the [C#m]neighbors upstairs
[E]Happy and willing to [G#m]die for your [C#m]love
[E]Happy and willing to [G#m]die  ... [C#m]

(1:57 - Violin solo, continue with verse)
The violin plays:
E|---11h12h11--9---------7-----|
B|---------------9-----7---9---|

[E]Laid off for [G#m]weeks now, can [C#m]feel the sore
[E]Still in [G#m]tatters from the [C#m]smell of you
[E]Happy and willing to [G#m]die for your [C#m]love
[E]Happy and willing to [G#m}die, so [C#m] cold

(Chorus)
[G#m]I won’t make a [E] sound
[C#m]I'll sleep on the floor
Lay on the [G#m] couch
Don't put yourself [E] out
