My Year in Lists Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]You [C]said[Am] "se[C]nd
[F]me
[C]stationary to make me horny"
[Am]So I always write you letters
in [F]multicolours
Decorating envel[G]opes for
[C]foreplay
Damn extended metaphors,
I get carried away
[Am]On the back of a natural[C] disaster,
fixed [Am]with parcel tape and with kids sticking plasters
[F]Nothing says "I [G]miss you" quite like war [C]poetry
you carved in your door with a Stanley knife
[F]

[Verse 2]
My year [C]in lists
[F]Stomping on your fingers as you're
[G]clinging on to the [C]abyss
So put on [Am]every winter coat that
you've owned since '98
And every [G]midnight sees the countdown
[D]to another [C]awful day

[Verse 3]
[F]I cherish with fondness
the day (before) I met you
I [C]cherish with fondness the
day (before) I met you
I [F]cherish with fondness the day
(before) I met you
[D][Bb]

[Verse 4]
[F]On your req[C]uest, I compile a list
[Am]Of my top five resolutions for
this [F]year (one!)
[G]I declined 'cause I decided
that I (t[C]wo!)
Do not believe in the new
year anymore [Am](three!)
And you must confess [Csus4]that
at [C]times like [Am]these
Hopefulness is tantamount to
hopelessness (four!)
And [F]I accept that it's t[G]ime
for a change but not in
[C]Places like this with people like these
(five! [F]five! five! five! five!)

[Verse 5]
My year [C]in lists
[F]Stomping on your fingers as you're
[G]clinging on to the [C]abyss
So put on [Am]every winter coat that
you've owned since '98
And every [G]midnight sees the
countdown to an[D]other awful day

[Verse 6]
I [F]cherish with fondness the
day (before) I met you
[C]I cherish with fondness the
day (before) I met you
I [F]cherish with fondness the day
(before) I met [C]you
[D][Bb]
