When playing the Bm* try and avoid hitting the low E string until appropriate,
otherwise it throws the progression.
First verse is the same as the others:
C G C G
I threw the first stone, I broke the door
C Em C G
And someone got stuck inside and fell to the floor
C G C G
And I drove for hours, landlocked and blank
C Em C G
Hills all around me with no one to thank
Now when I got back here and climbed up my tree
And nobody saw me, I watched them so carefully
Trapped like mosquitoes fucking blood from your arms
Crushed so serenely, without an alarm
Am C/G G
But you still want me back
Am Em
In the room when it was cold
C G G/F# Em7 D
And we were walking crooked
I count the copies, I kept receipts
I kept the blisters on the bottom of my feet
Well I'm your assistant or maybe you're mine
But either way you see it, you won't make a dime
Because we don't want it easy, we don't like the plot
We don't take precaution when we know that we should
But if we both just admit it, that we both make mistakes
I think we can handle all the change and the headache
Am C G
But you still get me out
Am
When you kick me twice
Em C G G/F# Em7 D
And took the keys and put them in my hands
Rough guide for next part:

Bm* Cadd2 Bm* Cadd2
There's always something now, waiting on
Bm* Em* C
If you just go now, you can leave
Em C Dadd4
You can just go free
Fast part: Basically a hastened verse/chorus
C G C G C Em C G
C G C G C Em C G
Am C
G Am Em C G G/F# Em7 D
I fell asleep, accidentally so
And I didn't wake up 'til an hour ago
So I stood in the window, still half-asleep
With a stone in my hand, the criticisms I keep
I can't write conclusions that ever make sense
Cuz I can't end a story when I'm still on the fence
So I threw the last stone and that set me free
So I wrote no conclusion and came down from my tree
