The Recluse Acoustic Chords

Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Bass notes on the E string are optional if you wish to add them,

I didn't because the song simply feels too sedate for that nonsense.

Intro

D♯7M Dm9 x8

 I D♯7M wake aDm9lone

 in a D♯7Mwoman's room I hDm9ardly know.

 I D♯7M wake aDm9lone

 and D♯7Mpretend that I am Dm9finally home.

 The D♯7Mroom is lDm9ittered

 with her D♯7Mbooks and Dm9notebooks

 I iD♯7Mmagine Dm9what they say, like,

D♯7M"Shoo fly don't Dm9bother me."

 ID♯7M can hardly get myDm9self out of theD♯7M bed

 for Dm9fear of D♯7M never lyingDm9 in this bed D♯7M again.

 Oh Dm9Christ, I'm

D♯7Mnot

 WD♯7Mhy do I stDm9art what I can't D♯7Mfinish?

 Oh pDm9lease don't D♯7M barrage me

 with the Dm9questions

 to D♯7Mall those ugly Dm9answers.

 My D♯7Mego's like my Dm9stomach,

 it keeps D♯7Mshitting what I Dm9feed it.

 But D♯7Mmaybe I don't want to fDm9inish anD♯7Mything anyDm9more.

D♯7MMaybe I can wait in Dm9bed 'til she comes D♯7M home

 and Dm9whispers,

D♯7M"You're in my Gm9 web F now,

D♯7MI've come to Gm9wrap you up tight

 'til it's Ftime to bite down."
