    C        C+         C#
I'm all used up, pretty boy
 C#+            F                        Fmaj7
Over and over again, my nail colors are wearing off
C       C+           C#
See my hands, pretty boy
 C#+
What do they tell you?
       F                        Am
Cause I've looked down at them, not knowing why
C C+      C#           C#+          F
And after everything's done and I'm all undone
        Fmaj7                      C C+
You can hear my high heels walking on
C#       C#+                   F
Clickety-clacking through the night
                Am
I'm carrying my bag of bones

Chorus:
C             Em7              Am               Fmaj7  G7 
Fluorescent store lights, you shine through the night
Am             E7           Am        Fmaj7  G7 
Illuminate my pores and you tear me apart
 Fmaj7      E7                 Am        Fmaj7
Mercy on me, would you please spare me tonight?
    Am             E7              Am    C       Fmaj7
I'm tired of this searching, would you let me let go?

I know my room is a mess
Over and over again I tell myself I'll clean tomorrow
Just move the stuff up off the bed
And do what you came here to do
But first, open up a window for me
And let the cool air in, feel the night slip in
As it softly glides along your back
And I hope you leave right before the sun comes up
So I can watch it alone

Chorus

Am                 E7  
And I can take a little bit more
       Am              Fmaj7
Let's shake this poet out of the beast
Am               E7  
Just a, just a little bit more
       Am              Fmaj7
Let's shake this poet out of the beast
