               You know what's
E    E/F#    E    
wrong   with me
    E/F#     A  A/B  A    
You know phrenology
    A/B    C#m   E/B
You saw my injury
        A                          B
You can tell just by looking at my skull

      G  D         C    
Contrecoup, on the rebound
      G    D        C    
Contrecoup hurt me again
        C          G        D            G
And the second was worse by far than the first
          C           B
'Cause it made me limerent

E    E/F#  E    E/F#
                When my
E  E/F#  E     E/F#
Head was hit I bounced
 A  A/B   A   A/B
Away from it, or as
C#m                   E/B
Someone who is craniosophic would say
    A                       B
The brain went the opposite way

       G  D        C
Contrecoup, on the rebound
      G    D        C  
Contrecoup hurt me again
        C          G        D            G
And the second was worse by far than the first
           C         G       D            G
'Cause the first one woke my feelings for you
        C          G       D       G
But the contrecoup made my words untrue
       C            E
And it left me limerent


             Am        Am/B
Which is to say how it goes
           Fmaj7/C      Am6/C
Couched in terms no one knows
        C/G               Am6/F#
And as if the choice were slim
      C/G            Am6
As if there's no synonym

wrong   with me

You know phrenology

Contrecoup hurt me again
        C          G        D            G
And the second was worse by far than the first
           C          G              D          G
Though the impulse is strong, the connection is weak
      C            G           D          G
And I know what to say, but forgot how to speak
        C           B
When it made me limerent
