Riff 1                          (E)
Oh, all the words I should not know
Riff 2                (B)
Those doctors wrote on me
Riff 1                      (E)
Swell up and from their syllable
Riff 2               (B)
Won't let me get to sleep
 
     A   B    C#m             A    B   G# G#sus4
The sun will start late and clock out early
     A                     E
And I'll drive around and wait for it
 A              E         B
Follow familiar roads
 A                E
Emptied of every memory
 A                E           B       E
Under a sheet of silence and unmarked snow
 
Riff 1                    (E)
Then idle in some parking lot
Riff 2                 (B)
Smoke half a smoke and ask
Riff 1                (E)
St. Boniface and St. Vital
Riff 2               (B)
Preserve me from my past
 
  A     B   C#m         A      B    G#  G#sus4
Repair our potholes, prevent plant closures
    A                E
And if they remember me at all
 A                 E         B
Make them remember me
   A                    E
As more than a queer experiment
 A               E            B     E
More than a diagram in their quarterly
A        F#m          B     E
         Make them remember me
 
I think he does the G# to G#sus4 like this:
G# 4 3 x x x x
G# 4 4 x x x x
but you can just play G#. It sounds nice.
