(This is a simpler/easier to play version of the song, done by ear when I was new to playing uke. The spacing of the chords is pulled from how Patrick plays it acoustic.)

[Intro]:
Dm (let ring)
[Palm mute]
[Palm mute]

[Verse]:

   Dm
Be careful makin' wishes in the
Dsus2 Dsus2
Dark, dark.
Dm
Can't be sure when they've hit their
Dsus2 Dsus2
Mark, mark.

Dm  
And, besides in the mean, mean time, I'm
Dsus2                         Dm
Just dreamin' of tearing you apart.


Dm
I'm in the de-details with the
[Dsus2 Dsus2]
Dm
Devil, the world can never get me on my
[Dsus2 Dsus2]
Dm
Level.

Dsus2                Dm
I just gotta get you out the cage,
Dsus2        Dm
I'm a young lover's rage;
Dsus2                 Dm
Gonna need a spark to ignite.

[Pre-chorus]:

         Dm (let ring) Dm (let ring)
My songs know what you did in the

I'm on fire.

          Dm
Well, the writer's keep writin' what they
[Dsus2 Dsus2]
Dm
Write, somewhere another pretty vein just
[Dsus2 Dsus2]
Dm
Dies.


I got the scars from tomorrow and I wish you could see
                Dsus2
That you're the antidote to everything
           Dm
Except for me.

A constellation of tears on your
[Dsus2 Dsus2]
             Dm
Lashes, burn everything you love then burn the
(optional, make a match light noise with your mouth)
Dsus2 Dsus2
Ashes.

Dm                    Dsus2 
In the end everything collides,
   Dm        Dsus2                              Dm
My childhood spat back out the monster that you see.

Dm (strum continuously, d-d-u pattern)
My songs know what you did in the dark,
