 When playing the Bm* try and avoid hitting the low E string until appropriate,
 otherwise it throws the progression.
 First verse is the same as the others:
I  threw the first  stone, I  broke the door
 And someone  got stuck  inside and fell  to the floor
 And I  drove for hours, landlocked  and blank
Hills  all around  me with no  one to thank
 Now when I got back here and climbed up my tree
 And nobody saw me, I watched them so carefully
 Trapped like mosquitoes fucking blood from your arms
 Crushed so serenely, without an alarm
 But you  still want  me back
 In the room  when it was cold
 
 And we were walking crooked
 I count the copies, I kept receipts
 I kept the blisters on the bottom of my feet
 Well I'm your assistant or maybe you're mine
 But either way you see it, you won't make a dime
 Because we don't want it easy, we don't like the plot
 We don't take precaution when we know that we should
 But if we both just admit it, that we both make mistakes
 I think we can handle all the change and the headache
But  you still get  me out
 When you kick  me twice
 
 And took the keys and put them in my hands
Rough guide for next part:

There's  always something  now, waiting  on
 If you just  go now,  you can leave
 You can just  go free
 Fast part: Basically a hastened verse/chorus
 I fell asleep, accidentally so
 And I didn't wake up 'til an hour ago
 So I stood in the window, still half-asleep
 With a stone in my hand, the criticisms I keep
 I can't write conclusions that ever make sense
 Cuz I can't end a story when I'm still on the fence
 So I threw the last stone and that set me free
 So I wrote no conclusion and came down from my tree

First verse is the same as the others:

[C]I threw the [G]first stone, [C]I broke the [G]door
And [C]someone got [Em]stuck inside and [C]fell to the [G]floor
And [C]I drove for [G]hours, [C]landlocked and [G]blank
[C]Hills all [Em]around me with [C]no one to [G]thank

Now when I got back here and climbed up my tree
And nobody saw me, I watched them so carefully
Trapped like mosquitoes fucking blood from your arms
Crushed so serenely, without an alarm

But [Am]you still [C/G]want me [G]back
In the [Am]room when it was [Em]cold
            [C]             [G]      [G/f#] [Em7] [D]
And we were walking crooked

I count the copies, I kept receipts
I kept the blisters on the bottom of my feet
Well I'm your assistant or maybe you're mine
But either way you see it, you won't make a dime

Because we don't want it easy, we don't like the plot
We don't take precaution when we know that we should
But if we both just admit it, that we both make mistakes
I think we can handle all the change and the headache

[Am]But you still [C]get me [G]out
When you [Am]kick me twice
    [Em]                [C]              [G]     [G/f#] [Em7] [D]

I fell asleep, accidentally so
And I didn't wake up 'til an hour ago
So I stood in the window, still half-asleep
With a stone in my hand, the criticisms I keep

I can't write conclusions that ever make sense
Cuz I can't end a story when I'm still on the fence
So I threw the last stone and that set me free
So I wrote no conclusion and came down from my tree
