Regina Spektor - Braille Ukulele

[Intro]
Ab  Eb  Fm7  Eb  x2
[Verse 1]
Ab                            Eb
She was lying on the floor and counting stretch marks
Fm7                          Db
She hadn't been a virgin and he hadn't been a god
Ab               Eb
So she names the baby Elvis
Fm7                    Db
To make up for the royalty he lacked
 
[Chorus]
Ab                      Eb
And from then on it was turpentine and patches
Fm7                       Db
From then on it was cold Campbell's from the can
Ab                           Eb
And they were just two jerks playing with matches
Fm7                      Db
Cause that's all they knew how to play
 
[Instrumental]
Ab  Eb  Fm7  Eb  x2
[Verse 2]
Ab                                   Eb
And it was raining cats and dogs out side of her window
Fm7                                  Db
And she knew they were destined to become
                        Ab
Sacred road kill on the way
                             Eb               Fm7
And she was listening to the sound of heavens shaking
                     Db               Ab
Thinking about puddles, puddles and mistakes
 
[Chorus]
                Eb
Cause it's been turpentine and patches
     Fm7            Db
It's been cold, cold Campbell's from the can
Ab                          Eb
And they were just two jerks playing with matches
 Fm7                  Db          Gb
Cause that's all they knew how to play
 
[Instrumental]
Db      Gb2
Ab  Eb  Fm7  Eb  x2
[Verse 3]
Ab                Eb
Elvis never could carry a tune
Fm7                                Db
She thought about this irony as she stared back at the moon
Ab                  Eb                          Fm7
She was tracing her years with her fingers on her skin
                Db
Saying why don't I begin again
Ab      Eb
With turpentine and patches
Fm7             Db
With cold, cold Campbell's from the can
Ab                         Eb
After all I'm still a jerk playing with matches
Fm7                              Db
It's just that he's not around to play along
Ab                  Eb
I'm still an a**hole playing with candles
Fm7               Db
Blowing out wishes blowing out dreams
Ab                    Eb
Just sitting here and trying to decipher
Fm7                       Db      Gb
What's written in Braille upon my skin...
 
[Instrumental]
Db      Gb2      x3
Ab  Eb  Fm7  Eb  x2
[Outro]
Ab                            Eb      Fm7     Eb
She was lying on the floor and counting stretch
Ab                            Eb       Fm7    Eb
She was lying on the floor and counting stretch
