Artist: Bad Books
Tuning: Down One Half Step
All chords shapes relative to tuning (when it says C, you play it like a C in
first position but it's really a B)

[VERSE 1]
[Em]Petite Mort, I asked you for an [B]answer
[C/G]Petite Mort, I [Am7]sang until you [G]slept [D]
[Am]Petite Mort, you [D]took yourself, you [Em]bastard
[Am]Petite Mort, now [D]sleeping's all that's [G]left [B]
You [Em]took apart the sympathetic [B]angle
When you [C/G]catered to the [Am7]bitterness in[G]side [D]
[Am]Aligned yourself with [D]depths I couldn't [Em]handle
A [Am]million daily [D]deaths before you [G]die
[CHORUS]
[C] Gathered a bouquet
Roses and p[Em]osies
and straightened my [A]tie
When I [C]got there, you were [G]nowhere I could [D]find
[VERSE 2]
Through [Em]layer after layer of sub[B]conscious
I [C/G]hunted for a [Am7]reason in the [G]woods [D]
I [Am]tore apart the [D]map and started [Em]backwards
I [Am]couldn't picture [D]living there for [G]good [B]
I [Em]left you there to finish setting [B]fires
I [C/G]left you there to [Am7]propagate your [G]lie [D]
I [Am]left you there cos [D]honey, I was [Em]tired
I [Am]left you but that [D]doesn't make it [G]right
[CHORUS]
[C] I remember your bedroom
Ivy and cl[Em]over
You kept me al[A]ive
Knives d[C]rawn, the butcher [G]world waited outs[D]ide
[OUTRO]
