Truce The Dresden Dolls
Note: occasionally on the Cadd9 chords an extra note is added to make it go from x32030
x32031 and then back again. also during the "and special occasions..." part of the verse
is a discordant chord shift but just alter the Dsus2 chord briefly from x00230 to x00330
then back again.

Verse 1
[Dsus2]you can have washington i'll take new jersey

[Dsus2]i should get providence i've got a job now
los angeles - obvious - that's where you [Cadd9]belong now
(continue chords as above)
you can have africa asia australia
as long as you keep your hands off cafe pamplona
we can split germany right down the middle
you'd hate it there anyway
take berlin and well call it even
you can take all of the carry-on baggage
i'll trade the saskia jokes for the alphabet language
and special occasions we'll split between parents
who forced us to hate them on alternating weekends
[Dsus]you call it over and i call you psycho, significant other?
just say we were lovers and [Cadd9]we'll call it even
[F]we'll call [G]it [Dsus2]even

[Gm]i know when i'm wanted i'll [Bb]leave when you ask me to
[F]mind my own business and [Dsus2]speak when i'm spoken to
[Gm]i am the tower [Bb]around which you orbited
[F]i am not proud i am [Dsus2]just taking orders
[Gm]i fall to the groud within [Bb]hours of impact
[F]i hit back if hit [Cm]and attack if attacked
Verse 2

i want mass ave from the sqaure to my [Cadd9]apartment
[Dsus2]and if we should meet through some misunderstanding
ill be very sweet very patient and [Cadd9]forgiving
[Cm](now get off my side of the state)
[Dsus2]and if we should see one another in passing
despite these techniques there is sometimes no [Cadd9]avoiding
[Cm](there must be some kind of mistake)
[Dsus2]we'll raise high our white flags and bow heads and shake hands
declaring the land we're on unamerican [Cadd9]we'll call it even
[F]we'll call [G]it [Dsus2]even
Chorus/Refrain
[Gm]i am the tower [Bb]around which you orbited
[F]i am not proud i am [Dsus2]just taking orders
[Gm]i fall to the groud within [Bb]hours of impact
[F]i hit back if hit [Cm]and attack if attacked
[Gm]i am an accident [Bb]waiting to happen
[F]i'm laughing like mad as you[Dsus2] strangle the captain
[Gm]my place may be taken, [Bb]but make no mistake
[F]from a little black black box i can [Cm]say without shame
[Cm]that you've lost, that you've[Cm] lost, do you know what you've lost?
Outro
