Phoebe Bridgers - Killer (EP version)
Standard tuning (EADGBe)
No capo
The structure is based around the 2015 EP version but I figured out the chords from videos of Phoebe playing
the song live. The positioning of the chords over the lyrics is not perfect. You'll figure it out :D
The chords seem strange at first but once you get the hang of how your hand transitions from one to the next,
they start to make sense.
Much of the song is spent with your index finger on the first fret of the B string.
Transitioning from the Am to Am/F#, just put your thumb on the low E string.
Sometimes she plays an open G string on the Fadd9 chord as a variation but I didn't want to clutter the chart.

[Intro]
C Em C/G Gadd11
[Verse 1)
C/G
Sometimes I think I'm a killer
Em(b13)
I scared you in your house
C/G
Even scared myself by talkin'
Gadd11
About Dahmer on your couch
C/G
But I can't sleep next to a body
Em(b13)
Even harmless in death
C/G
plus I'm pretty sure I'd miss you
Gadd11 G
and faking sleep to count your breath
[Chorus 1]
Dm Am
Can the killer in me
Am/F# Fadd9
Tame the fire in you
C/G Gadd11 G
Is there nothing left to do for us
Dm Am
I am sick of the chase
Am/F# Fadd9
but I'm hungry for blood
Fadd9
and there's nothing I can do
[Instrumental]
C/G Em(b13) C/G Gadd11
[Verse 2]
C/G
But when I'm sick and tired
Em(b13)
when my mind is barely there
C/G
when a machine keeps me alive
G
and I'm losing all my hair
[Bridge]
Fadd9 C(var) Gadd11
I hope you'll kiss my rotten head and pull the plug
Fadd9 Gadd11 G
know that I've burned every playlist and given it all my love
[Chorus 2]
Dm Am
Can the killer in me
Am/F# Fadd9
Tame the fire.....in you
C(var) Gadd11
I know there's something waiting for us
Dm Am
I am sick of the chase
Am/F# Fadd9
But I'm stupid in love
[Outro]
Fadd9 C(var)
And there's nothing I can do
Fadd9 C (let ring)
And there's nothing I can do

for funsies try turning the very last Fadd9 to an Fm. Not for everyone, but I'm a fan of it.
