[Intro]
 
G   Bm   Em   F#7   (x2)
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
     G                     Bm
Oh, honeybear, honeybear, honeybear, oooh...
   Em
Mascara, blood, ash, and cum
        F#7
on the Rorschach sheets where we make love.
 G                     Bm
Honeybear, honeybear, honeybear, oooh...
 Em
Fuck the world, damn straight malaise.
       F#7
It may be just us who feel this way.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
     D#dim7       G
But don't ever doubt this,
    Em
my steadfast conviction.
    D#dim7              G
My love, you're the one I want to
 Em
watch the ship go down with.
     D#dim7             G
The future can't be real, I barely
 Em
know how long a moment is.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
   E                       Cmaj7
Unless we're naked getting high on the mattress
           D#dim7            G
while the global market crashes.
   Cmaj7                                D#dim7    G
As debt fills the streets with garden variety oblivious.
     D7
You grab my hand and say in I-told-you-so voice:
     B7          Cmaj7
"It's just how we expected."
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bm            Em      Esus4   Em
Everything is doomed.
     D                Cmaj7   Cmaj7
And nothing will be spared.
       D#dim7            G    Bm   Em   F#7
But I love you, honeybear.
 
     G                     Bm               Em    F#7
Oh, honeybear, honeybear, honeybear, oooh, oooh...
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
        D#dim7           G
You're bent over the altar
         Em             Esus4  Em
and the neighbors are complaining
          D#dim7              G
that the misanthropes next door
              Em
are probably conceiving a Damien.
           D#dim7               G
Don't they see the darkness rising?
           Em      Esus4   Em
Good luck fingering oblivion.
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
       E                      Cmaj7
We're getting out now while we can.
                               D#dim7                     G
You're welcome boys, have the last of the smokes and chicken.
          Cmaj7
Just one Cadillac will do to get us
D#dim7                 G
out to where we're going.
 
      D7
I brought my mother's depression, you've got your father's scorn
       B7            Cmaj7   Cmaj7
and a wayward and schizophrenia.
 
 
Bm     Em  Em     Bm     Cmaj7  Cmaj7
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     Bm            Em   Em
But everything is fine.
       D          Cmaj7   Cmaj7
Don't give into despair,
          D#dim7             G
'cause I love you     honeybear.
 
Bm   Em   F#7
 
     G                     Bm               Em    F#7
Oh, honeybear, honeybear, honeybear, oooh, oooh...
 
 
G   Bm   Em   F#7
