Verse 1:
D                 D/C#
  A can of cola, an unfilled bathtub 
G
  For dirty bodies and storing empties 
D                        D/C#
  The land-line's nagging, the mail is scattered on the floor
G 
 And through a keyhole of a triple bolted door

A                G                        D      D/C#
  It's melodrama,  its confused chemicals
Em               Em/F#   G
   It's dirty laundry,      its empty Styrofoam.

(Repeat Intro Riff)


Verse 2:
D                  D/C#
 The Giants won and  all the firecracker shells 
G
   Are littering the street and I don't give a shit. 
D                      D/C#
  My shoes ran off somewhere and I haven't even
G
Cared to organize a search. My ball of nerves

A                  G
  Don't mistake me
      Bm                                  A
I'll refuse you if you choose to track me down. 
Em                  Em/F#  G
   And don't you make me   leave 


Bridge*:
           D                 Asus4
Without wishing you well 'til I return 
         Em7                 G
From my brief sojourn to the center of the earth
   D                     Asus4                  Em7
As far as I tell you it's not as bad as all of that
G
  And I promise not to be reckless
 Bm                A
Oh heart of mine,  heart of mine 
          G 
It's your face that brings me back every time.

(Repeat Intro Riff)


D                    D/C#              G
  It's dirty laundry,   its empty Styrofoam.



*Heres the chords/basic idea of the finger plucked Bridge part:
(The second time through the Em7 and G are just strummed)
   D                              Asus4
e|------2--------------2--------|------------------------------|
B|---------3---3----------3---3-|------3-------------3---------|
G|----2------2------2-------2---|---------2---2---------2---2--|
D|-0-------------0--------------|----2------2------2------2----|
A|------------------------------|-0-------------0--------------|
E|------------------------------|------------------------------|

  Em7                             G                         x2
e|------------------------------|------------------------------|
B|------3--------------3--------|------3-------------3---------|
G|---------0---0----------0---0-|---------0---0---------0---0--|
D|-----------0--------------0---|-----------0-------------0----|
A|----2-------------2-----------|----2-------------2-----------|
E|-0-------------0--------------|-3-------------3--------------|




The Intro Riff is played throughout the first and second verses.
There are a few live/solo versions where she plays with the capo on the 8th fret (fyi).
I hope this is helpful.
