The Menzingers – Burn After Writing chords

Chords:
Transpose:
This is The Menzinger's song 'Burn After Writing', second track from their latest
record: 'On the Impossible Past'. It's an acoustic version, with a fairly loose 
structure in
comparison to the technicality of the record.

Verse 1:
D BmHere's to you, the same chords that I stole
A DFrom a song that I once heard
Bm AThe Same melody I borrowed from the void
D BmI'd rather observe than structure a narrative
AThe characters are thin;
D BmThe plot does not develop
A DIt ends where it begins
Link; D, Bm, A (x2) Verse 2:
DIt's on the screen, in paperbacks
Bm AIn section 8 and cul-de-sacs
DElectro haikus and drunk sonnets
Bm AAre moving me along
EmAlong
Link: G, D, G, D Chorus: (x2)
DYou cut my hair
Bm AYou left red ink everywhere
EmDo my hands tell a story?
AIs it boring?
Link (Palm Muted): D, Bm, A Verse 3: (Palm-Muted)
DWhat I'd give to force your sigh
Bm AWhat I'd give to see you cry
DWhat I'd give for your caress
BmTo see your blue cotton dress
ABalled up on the floor
DCertain memories are the problem
Bm A DCertain drunken lines are the shame
BmSeven hundred miles and four years
A DI can't fight the flame; it burns
GBurns, and it burns and it burns.
Chorus: (x2)
DYou cut my hair
Bm AYou left red ink everywhere
EmDo my hands tell a story?
AIs it boring?
Outro:
DWas I wishing on satellites?
A DTell me how you've been doing that trick
A DI'm just wishing the flame away
A DNow I'm wishing the flame away
Nota Bene: On the D's in the outro, and throughout other points during the song, you can add embellishments to make it sounds a bit more tidy, but you don't have to. If you wanna give it a try, then whilst you're on the regular D Major shape, hit the fourth fret on the D string, then move it up to second, then open again. Large.
