[Verse 1]
E Dsus2
Picking up broken words
C#m
Snipping the tips off
Amaj7/C#
Grinding down the long ones
C#m7
That wind around your eardrums
E Dsus2
Dangerous plastic words
C#m
For crowd dispersal
Amaj7/C#
And dumb dumb words
C#m7
That could blow your head off
[Chorus]
C#m A E
This is a story 'bout the three of us
A E G#m A
Down by the water and the tide is rising
C#m A E
This world is burning and I'm terrified
A E B C#m
I need a little more time with you, oh
A E B A B E
I just need a little more time with you
[Verse 2]
E Dadd9
One fine day you'll sing
C#m
Your inevitable love song
Amaj7/C#
Inevitable lie song
C#m7/A
Inevitable cry song
E Dadd9
Time bends broken bones
C#m A
Time bends broken bones
C#m/A Amaj7
'Til they wrap around your throat
C#m7/A
And snap around your fingers
[Chorus]
C#m A E
This is a story 'bout the three of us
A E G#m A
Down by the water and the tide is rising
C#m A E
This world is burning and I'm terrified
A E B C#m /D# /E A E
I need a little more time with you, oh
A E G#m A
Down by the water and the tide keeps rising
C#m /D# /E A E
This world is burning and I'm terrified
A E B C#m /B
I need a little more time with you
A E B C#m /B
Oh, I just need a little more time with you
A E/B B A/C# B/D#
Oh please, just a little more time with you
