I See Dark by Laura Stevenson and the Cans
Capo 2nd fret
Part A:
[G]Cuffed to the bed next to my head
[C] Swallow the key up, swallow the key.
[G] You've been swallowing every[C]thing
Lock me [Am]up in a [Em]room with a [C]strange one.
[G]Take this, go on take it and you'll
[C] see your ache will soon break
[G]Do this in memory of what[C] you used to be
But that [Am]lump on a [Em]cot in [C]a dark room,
takes her [Am]time [Em] [C]wasting away
Trapped i[Am]nside of a[Em] body that [C]hates her
Take your [Am]time and t[Em]hen someone[C] will take you...
Part B: (1:09)(from live version but the chords are the same)

Its a pretty straight forward song.
Im not 100 percent sure about the lead guitar part but I just really like when that part comes in.
This is one of my favorite Laura Stevenson songs and
I hope this is helpful to anyone who wants to learn it
