[Intro A]
A (for 8 bars)
Amaj7              D
Jane Austen in the hospital
Amaj7                                 C#m    Bm
Your handwriting on the legal pad was barely legible
Amaj7                       D
Waiting I wonder if I could go all the way back
      Amaj7
Would any of it still scare me
       C#m           Bm
For example the labrador down the street


[Intro B]
               C                 G
Mom carried me down from off the car
          Em         C
Neighbor scolded I'd upset him
            G           C                         Em
Every time he took off, my thoughts got dark and menacing

Amaj7 (I think this is the way they play this chord on this part):

[Intro A*]
Amaj7                  D
Go on Romeo, bark your head off
F#m                    C#m                Bm
My last sliver of ignorance is still to come
         Amaj7
Couldn't quit it, you dumb dog
        D
Chasing speeding cars
            A                                  C#m
I heard the engine and then you laid like a good boy
       Bm
On the hot summer tar

[Verse A]
     C                G
That night, the awful relief
                 Em         C
Now what are ya gonna do to me?
                 G          C                  Em
First symptom of guilt then became a permanent shame


[Chorus](Staccato chords)
    C#m           F#m                 B
And now I can get close enough, close enough to see you're
E   A            G#m     Bm   E    A
Overgrown with a look of love
           A                    Bm    E    A
You're overgrown with a look of love


[Verse B]
E|-----------------|
B|-----9----7---7--|
G|---6----6----6---|
D|--6----6----6----|
A|-0---------------|
E|-----------------|
I still dream of spiders crawling across my bed
    F#m                C#m      Bm
The present, I have no place in it
A                                   Bm
I still dream of being watched, but not by ---
        F#m
Well, I know your thoughts on the matter
       C#m           Bm
And we don't need to discuss it


[Verse A]
              C               G
'Round three AM you will come to
                Em                      C
Your roommate's pissed his sheets right through
              G               C               Em
Years from now you will build beautiful black flowers

[Instrumental part]
D      F#m      C#m/E      D


[Verse B*]
       D            A                  C#m7/G#   B
I came home and you directed with your hardened hand
            D                   F#m              C#                                B
All of your birds who have come back to dine and rest in your, rest in your garden again
                B
They've come to rest in your garden


[Chorus](Staccato chords again:)
C#m           F#m                 B
Now I can get close enough, close enough to see you're
E   A            G#m     Bm    E    A
Overgrown with a look of love
           A                    Bm    E    A
You're overgrown with a look of love
           A                    Bm    E    A
You're overgrown with a look of love
           A                    Bm    E    A
You're overgrown with a look of love, love
           A                    Bm    E    A
You're overgrown with a look of love.
