-verse-
 B
I like the universe,
 E
But she messes with my words.
 B
I’m not talking planets or galaxies,
 E
And the distance just makes it worse.
 G#m                          F#                     E2
I know what you’re thinking: this probably sounds rehearsed.


-chorus-
    B2           C#m         G#m
So let's give it up for the New Year.
           B2     C#m           G#m       F#
Did this party of two have you slightly confused?
 B2           C#m        G#m
Now that our things are divided,
      B2        C#m             G#m     F#            E2
She refuses to speak, and I’m drifting asleep at the wheel.


-bridge-

(guitar one)
  B      E        B        E


(guitar two)  (this riff is also played behind the chords in the 
second verse,
but at the part where he says "madness", play it an octive higher.)

-verse2-
 B
Liquids, powders and pills,
           E
Not quite taken against my will.
 B
A taste test of girls from all over the world 
      E
Who refuse to accept my excuses.
 B
She put up with so much,
        E
Of my madness and my self-abuse.
           B
She would tend to my wounds,
                                 E
And fill me with food when I'd stumble in drunk for breakfast.
         G#m               F#             E2
She was right to take off before she was consumed.


-chorus-
    B2           C#m         G#m
So let's give it up for the New Year.
           B2     C#m           G#m       F#
Did this party of two have you slightly confused?
 B2           C#m        G#m
Now that our things are divided,
      B2        C#m             G#m     F#            E2
She refuses to speak, and I’m drifting asleep at the wheel.


-solo-      (2:11-2:33)
e|------------------------------------| play four times
B|---------------------------7-9------| 
G|------------------------------------| (two of the times this is

           B2     C#m           G#m       F#

           B2     C#m           G#m       F#
Did this party of two have you slightly confused?

Now that our things are divided,
      B2        C#m             G#m     F#             E2
She refuses to speak, and I’m drifting asleep at the wheel.


-outro-
 B
I like the universe,
 E
But she messes with my words.
 B
I’m not talking planets or galaxies,
          E
And the distance just makes it worse.
         G#m                  F#              E2
You’re totally right, every action was well rehearsed.
