Missing Person Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
I [D]am lipsticked like a tart
in the cherry [A]red of Côtes-
[D]du-Rhône
[G]Prodding at [D]the little fire
[A]of my [G]phone.
The light[D]s behind the bar
twinkle like [A]they’ve always [D]known
Only [G]desperate little [D]men
ever [A]drink alone.
[G]

[Verse 2]
But as long as [Bm]I’m here,
I ain’t drinking [G]beer
[D]I’m vanish[A]ing
[D]I’m a missing [A]person [D]do ing [A]my [G]thing.
[D]

[Verse 3]
As midnight strikes
I slip into this [A]queen of [D]dives
And [G]quietly ob[D]livion like [A]sleep ar[G]rives
But [D]I couldn’t live without
this sewer [A]of a place to [D]be
[G]Alone with my [D]one obsession [A]- me,
[G]me, me
Yeh, I can hear her [D]remonstrate
[A]you fool, [G]that’s three.

[Verse 4]
What I’m doing [Bm]here,
it ain’t drinking [G]beer
[D]It’s van[A] ishin[D]g[A][D][A][G]
I’m a [D]missing [A]person [D]doing [A]my thing.
[G]

[Verse 5]
Missing [F#m]the time I threw
your crutch [G]away
And [F#m]ruined a perfect [G]day
Now it’s all ruins from here to [A]daybreak.
[Bm]

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][A][D][A][G][Asus4]
[A]So [D]I hang on to my chair

[Verse 6]
in this fish tank [A]of sinking [D]stars
[G]Pickling their [D]memories in [A]Mason [G]jars
I [D]head out for a smoke
leave your ghost there to [A]hold my [D]place
And [G]line up with the [D]other cheaters
[A]in dis[G]grace
Like runners in ex[D]ile
From [A]the human [G]race.

[Verse 7]
But as long as [Bm]I’m here,
this last [G]brutal year
Is van[D]ish[A]ing
[D]I’m a missing [A]person [D]doing [A]my
[G]thing.

[Outro 1]
