VERSE 1:

           Em                                         G
There's no box to tick for red, so I put down blue instead, cos
     C                                         G
It's closest there's to grey in the categories.
        Em                                           G
And the veins within the whites are a statement of demise,
         C                                        G
Doe Eyes you should stay at home licking batteries.
  Em                                        D
I feel like I'm the host of a terrible game show, and the
C                              G
Guests on today's quiz are celebrities.
         Em                                                 D
Won't respond to any clues, they're just cracking jokes for views,
        C                               C         
But the answers to these questions mean everything.


CHORUS:

G                 Am
I had a friend who, had made a flag day,
Em                       C
Blood on their hands from shards of a heartbreak.
G                      Am
I have known friends to, crack from love's weight,
Em                 C
Blossom in ribcage, until their backs break.
Em     D            C                 Em              D            C
Oh, it won't get better, that doesn't mean it's gonna get any worse.
           Em             D            C                  Em              D                C
Your final draft's a life-long love letter, signed to the man who will be driving your hearse.


VERSE 2:

    Em                                      D
Salacia's in the depths, and if I avoid the nests,
         C
Threaten I'll cuckold you Neptune, for definite.
         Em                                              G
Meet between the dog and wolf, with the hoar frost underfoot,
         C     
And I'll show you every fire in Delphinus.

A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy,
That's why they call me the avocado, baby.
A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy,
That's why they call me the avocado, baby.

    Em                                              D
May she who casts the first fist of dirt across the casket
     C
Have mourners lick the mud from her fingernails,
           Em                                       D
'Tween the breadth'a your span, I was a renaissance man,
         C                                  
Books of lies stacked either side, you were my carrell.


CHORUS:

G                 Am
I had a friend who, had made a flag day,
Em                       C
Blood on their hands from shards of a heartbreak.
G                      Am
I have known friends to, crack from love's weight,
Em                 C
Blossom in ribcage, until their backs break.
G                 Am
I had a friend who, had made a flag day, (A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy,)
Em                       C
Blood on their hands from shards of a heartbreak. (That's why they call me the avocado, baby.)
G                      Am
I have known friends to, crack from love's weight, (A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy,)
Em                 C
Blossom in ribcage, until their backs break. (That's why they call me the avocado, baby.)
Em     D            C                 Em              D            C
Oh, it won't get better, that doesn't mean it's gonna get any worse.
           Em             D            C                  Em              D                C
Your final draft's a life-long love letter, signed to the man who will be driving your hearse.
