Your mother hung herself in the National Theater,
    G#dim/B               F#dim/A     (See fingerings at the top of this page.)
When  she was four months pregnant with your sister,
            E     Emaj7          F#m
Who would've been thirteen years old today.
B                  F#m7add4       B
Does that make you feel any less alone in the world?
 
Your dad, I'm sure, he tried his best,
He thought you'd be better off living with your grandmother.
He didn't realize that she'd already given up,
Baby, your family, they are all just losers.
 
Ab                 C#    C#7
   I become such a wolf around you,
F#     A           Dmaj7
    My thoughts go dark and all out of focus.
E        G#m       C#
I have no peace in my mind,
        Amaj7
Because you,
      E6/B     B7/A     B7    B6
You've touched      me.
Em      E
   Ooh.
 
The screech owls are going insane outside my house.
It is the season for trouble and self destruction.
All of my friends, they are falling apart,
But not me, I'm in control.
 
Remember the exquisite corpse that we created together?
We laughed at the time, it seemed so impenetrable,
But reading it now I think I understand,
What it is that we're trying to steal from each other
 
I become such a wolf around you
My thoughts go dark and all out of focus
I have no peace in my mind
Because you,
You've touched me.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.

Great job on the transcription! Based on watching Kevin Barnes play this acoustically, the second line chords are actually Adim and Gdim instead of G#dim and F#dim. Other than that, I think your transcription is great. And what a great track. One of my personal faves on the new album.

I like the F and G # dims barred. It sounds a lot smoother to me, and I think that what Kevin does in the Acoustic version. Really great tab though. Easy 5 stars.
