using the little finger to hammer on at the 4th fret.
Alternatively, just strum a regular E chord.

[E]You expected my war diaries
But [B]time ran out and I, I let you down
A small [A]thanks note written in French
is no short[B]hand for this thing gave me writers cramp.

[E]Had a dream about shapeshifting
Well [B]we move with such elegance
With such [A]grace
With all our dignity just i[B]n place

For the Chorus, play a high E barre chord, and finger-pick.

E|-7-|
B|-9-|
G|-9-|
D|-9-|
A|-7-|
E|-0-|

[E]Deer die
With their eyes wide open
Eyes wide open
Eyes wide open
Deer die
With their eyes wide open

Drawing [E]tiny little pictures of skeletons
To get a[B]cross a sense of impending doo[A]m
And the leaves like the outward to [B]major leagues
They're like the foxes on the hard shoul[E]der

And for some reason I think that I have twisted
This [B]story to the fight last year and it turned out
that this is i[A]t so he goes to back his track
and for the signs we never s[B]igned

(Play an E chord, building up gradually)

[E]Drawing tiny little pictures of skeletons
To get across a sense of impending doom
And I am seventeen pages through this notebook now
And there are little more than pictures
of how I see you on an x-ray machine
Its more like a television screen and you're in iraq
And I know that you know what I mean
And I realise, sensation hits
Not even two girls requires to have a sailor smile.

(At the end of the breakdown, there's a big mess of noise, I use a C major barre chord
just mess around really, there's no set thing to do here, just make the chord sound as
as possible.)

Post-Chorus:

(Play a high E Barre chord, and follow the melody of the vocals by switching to a high A
at the end of each line)

   [E]   [A]
E|-7---12-|
B|-9---14-|
G|-9---14-|
D|-9---14-|
A|-7---12-|
E|-0------|

[E]Turn up on your [A]doorstep
[E]Feeling like [A]roadkill
[E]Decent like [A]postage stamps
[E]And when I turn [A]to you, you [E]feeling like i [A]never know
[E]Everything I [A]ever wrote
[E]Pouring out [A]of your mouth.

End on E
