You Know Me Better

D  D  D     D
I am a histamine
D   D     G          D
Wet wound in the Vaseline
D D    D          D
I have kissed the ring
D  D          G               D
On hands that seem too big to bleed
        D              F#              G           D
They’re gonna kill the man who put the fork in the road
D            F#
Gonna put it back
    G                  D
Now there’s one way to go
Bm        G         A                D
Jesus and Mary, oh, mother, help me, God
  F#m             G
I asked you for a vision
        F#m              G
Now I'm asking, "turn it off"


[Chorus]

D           F#            G       D
You know me better than I know myself
D               G
I don’t have to think
  G                  D
I think it’s just as well
D           F#            G       D
You know me better than I know myself
D               G
I don’t have to think
  G                  D
I think it’s just as well
F#                G
You can’t help me now
G                  D
You can’t help yourself
D         G
I told you everything
        G               D
There’s nothing left to tell
F#              G
I don’t have to think
   G                 D
I think it’s just as well
D           G             G    D
You know me better than I know myself



[Verse 2]

D
Advance and retreat
D             G        D
Dead tongues and dead meat
D
There’s gold in the seam
D
There’s milk in the tracks
D           G              D
Legal teens bundled up and cached
D                    F#
I held the hand that fed me
    G                D
But now it makes me sick
        D      F#
There’s no generation
G         D
Everybody quit
Bm            G      A           D
These are millennial loads in my veins
F#m      G              F#m          G
Diabetic wounds pumping soft bits of pain

[Chorus]

D           F#            G       D
You know me better than I know myself
D               G
I don’t have to think
  G                  D
I think it’s just as well
D           F#            G       D
You know me better than I know myself
D               G
I don’t have to think
  G                  D
I think it’s just as well
F#                G
You can’t help me now
G                  D
You can’t help yourself
D         G
I told you everything
        G               D
There’s nothing left to tell
F#              G
I don’t have to think
   G                 D
I think it’s just as well
D           G             G    D
You know me better than I know myself

[Bridge]

Bm              G     A                  D
I feel safe and sorry but we’re neither, are we?
Bm           G      D   D
Let me in or let me out
Bm               G
Rotten fruit and babies
A                  D
That’s the way you paid me
Bm                  G     D    D
Take your blessing off my house
Bm          G
Isolate and save me
A                D
How could you replace me?
F#               Bm      G
Tell me that and kiss my mouth


[Chorus]

D           F#             G     D
You know me better than I know myself
D               G
I don’t have to think
  G                  D
I think it’s just as well
D           F#            G       D
You know me better than I know myself
D               G
I don’t have to think
  G                  D
I think it’s just as well
F#                  G
If you could see me now
   G           D
If I could see myself
D            G       G           D
If it wasn’t me it’d be somebody else
F#              G
I don’t have to think
  G                  D
I think it’s just as well
D           G             G    D
You know me better than I know myself

[Outro]

F#              G
I don’t have to think
  G                  D
I think it’s just as well
D           G             G      D
You know me better than I know myself
