D               G             D          G
They built this whole neighborhood 
       D        G        Bm      A
out of wood, out of wood.
D               G             D          G
I guess I'll still be around 
          D     G        Bm      A
when they burn, burn it down.
Em        G        Em               A             D       G     Bm    A
I will be standing around when they burn it down...

D          G              D            G
Honey, I'm there when you need me, 
         D       G           D    A
please believe me, please believe me.
D             G               D         G
I'll still be right where you left me, 
       D      G     D   A
if you manage to forget me.
Em       G      Em        A      D        G      Bm      A
Where we met is where you may forget.
Em       G      Em        A      D        G      Bm      A

   A                 D          G                   E
If you and I had any brains, we wouldn't be in this place.




D          G    D      G
Chop me up into pieces 
      D       G      Bm       A
if it pleases, if it pleases.
    D        G           D      G
And when the chopping is through, 
      D          G      Bm       A
every piece will say "I love you."


Em    G        Em           A      D      G      Bm     A
Every piece of me will say "I love you."

This is nowhere near 100% accurate, but hopefully people can use it as a jumping-off point. Listen for the rhythm (it's in 3/4 time). For each line I put the lyrics and the corresponding bars' worth of chords at the end.
