The Joy In Forgetting The Joy In Accepting Chords

(ver. 3)
Bright Eyes
Verse]
           B                        C#7
There is a cat in the window of the house of my lover
           C#m                       E            F#7
Where she sleeps there alone now or perhaps with another
     B                              C#7
But I try not to think about that, I try not to think at all
     C#m                              E                   F#
I get cocaine from this girl I met and my brother buys me alcohol
      B                                    C#7                     
And I stay up all night walking through these houses I have grown to hate
       C#m                                   E                         F#
And my parents ask if I'm all right, I say, "I've just been staying up too late"
     B
I need to sleep
    C#7                   C#m                                      
I need to do something to get this awful weight up off my chest
             E                  F#
And keep her pretty ghost from chasing me
A
You say there are spaces open and wide
E
You say there are days longer than nights
A
And I could be happy if only I'd try, but I don't try
D
I don't try
E
No you don't try

[Verse]
D
And you speak of a fever that burns you inside
D
As you explain to your mother how you have wanted to die
D
So she kisses your fingers and says, "My darling, but why? 
E
When there is so much more, there is so much more
E
Do you know there are spaces open and wide?
E
Believe me, there are days longer than nights
E
And you will be happy the minute you try
D
So won't you try? 
E
Won't you try?"
