1. Du Og Meg
D
G C
She fell in love with a boy
G
Who spoke her second language
G C
And who lived across the ocean
D
In the evil empire
G C
He awoke her sleeping heart
G
And swept away the darkness
C G
An acute fear of flying
D
Couldn't keep her away
G C
Oh, oh, oh
G
C G
D
She landed on her feet
And joined his fledgling rock group
As they toured the evil empire
Selling t-shirts at the shows
She taught him what was real
She taught him he was okay
That his thoughts were not just rubbish
That he had something good to give
Am
Still his heart was so ambivalent and hopesick
G Bm
Of her he wasn't ever sure
Am
But she gave in so sweetly that the spirit said
Em D
"Boy, you better go run to her (run to her)"
So when she split, he hopped on a plane
With his parents and his brother
He told her that he loved her
They were married in the summer
Oh, oh, oh
Am Bm

2. Voltaic Crusher/Undrum to the Muted Da
Capo on 1st fret
G D
I write a thousand songs for you a day
C G D
But I never run out of things to say
C Eb
You're my Ulysses that I'll never end
Bb C
Now that I fucked up, lost you, sweet friend
G# F# E
Everything is in the trash, and it's my fault
G# F# E
I've destroyed us, I know, it's unrecoverable
C D
If there's a God he will repair your heart
G C
If there's a God, send her an angel
D
Make him handsome and clever and not crazy
G C
And you notice something wonderful
Eb
Someone to love her volcanically
G Bb
And please, please, please God, don't be a bastard
Eb Bb
Christ knows she deserves something nice for a change
Eb Bb
Christ knows she deserves something nice for a change
G D
I am a flaw, I'm a mistake
C G D
I am faulty, always break
C Eb
I tried, no-one'll believe me, but I did
Bb C
I tried to mature, be responsible, dot dot dot
G
But my heart is juvenile
D
And my character's not so hot
C D
You gave me your hand, I gave you a fist
G C
Please don't lose any sleep over me, baby
D
I hardly exist
C D
You gave me your hand, I gave you a fist
G C
Please don't lose any sleep over me, baby
D
I hardly exist
C D
You gave me everything, still I resist
G C
Please don't lose any sleep over me, baby
D
I hardly exist
C
I hardly exist
Guitar(throughout)
Note that the bottom note of each broken chord is often so soft that it is not even heard

Note: while most of the chords are power chords, Kevin sometimes lets the
next note of the bar chord in, particularly on chords that start on the
low E string. Also some of the chords that are on the A string include a
note on the E string (i.e. at the same fret as the bass note)

I'm allergic to the world when we're separated
There's nothing in my heart that's worth the beating

Feeling like a styrofoam prop
Ennui is eating

But it's hopeless, hopeless
And I never ever wanted to write this song
I always thought things would change somehow
And we would start getting along
But it's hopeless, hopeless
And I never ever wanted to write this song
I always thought things would change somehow
And we would start getting along
But it's hopeless, hopeless
And I never ever wanted to write this song
I always thought things would change somehow
And we would start getting along
But it's hopeless, hopeless
