Close Every Valve to Your Bleeding Heart Lyrics

During the verses he sometimes alternates between playing with just the top 3
strings in an F* chord, and the D, G, and B strings in a C chord.
This isn't exactly the picking pattern he uses each time, but this is the "bones" of it.

Always thought I was a novelty little creature
Nobody warns you that the death of hope won't feature
any sort of big event to mark its significance
After we finish ourselves off we ain't leavin'
Scared to go down with an old friend, believe me
You better bet we're gonna tie one on tonight
You never left even though you'd said that you might
I come back to remember what it was like
Only Dostoyevsky would dream up a pair like us
Intro (x2)
Thick skinned, hot headed
Better off if you close every valve to your bleedin' heart
Does it hurt too much? Are you just fed up?
Or is it somethin' else entirely?
When I ask you "Why?" you reply the death of hope hits you hard, too
You better bet we're gonna tie one on tonight
You never left even though you'd said that you might
I come back to remember what it was like
Only Dostoyevsky could kill off a pair like us
You better bet we're gonna drown every doubt
Half of us has got the other half figured out
No good deed goes unpunished around here

You better bet we're gonna tie one on tonight
You never left even though you'd said that you might
I come back to remember what we were like
