Version 1
            I was lucky enough to discover Mitski when at a show for Hundred Waters. I found this song on her Bandcamp and
really like it, so I decided to transcribe it.Im pretty sure most of the voicings that I provide are accurate,
though I didn't take too long to make sure.

I'm pretty sure she plays this in open D, but I never feel like tuning to that so I play it in drop D. The
picking pattern is very simple and can easily be lifted off of the record. The last verse is strummed.

D                F# (and all of the others         B5
                     moved to the right root)
e[---2-----|     e[---x---|                        e|---x---|
B[---3-----|     B[---x---|                        B|---x---|
G[---2-----|     G[---3---|                        G|---9---|
D[---0-----|     D[---4---|                        D|---7---|
A[---0-----|     A[---4---|                        A|---7---|
D[---0-----|     D[---4---|                        D|---7---|

[Verse 1]
D                      F#
All of this turbulence wasn't forecasted
G                  A
Apologies from the intercom
D                          F#
And I am relieved that I'd left my room tidy
G
They'll think of me kindly
A                     D
When they come for my things
G                          F#                         E
They'll never know how I'd stared at the dark in that room

With no thoughts
       D#
Like a blood-sniffing shark
G                        Bm
And while my dreams made music in the night
G
Carefully
A              D
I was going to live

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
D                          F#
You wouldn't leave till we loved in the morning
G                             A
You'd learned from movies how love ought to be
D                             F#
And you'd say you love me and look in my eyes
G
But I know through mine you were
A          D
Looking in yours
G                          F#
And did you know the liberty bell is a replica
E                      D#
Silently housed in its original walls
G                           Bm
And while its dreams played music in the night
G
Quietly
A              D
It was told to believe

[Interlude]
|  D  |  D  |  D  |  D  |  D  |  D  |  D  |  D  |  

[Verse 3] 
D                  F#
I always wanted to die clean and pretty
      G                D       A
But I'd be too busy on working days
D                           F#                  G
So I am relieved that the turbulence wasn't forecasted
                       A      D
I couldn't have changed anyways
G                      F#
I am relieved that I'd left my room tidy
E7         D#     D
Goodbye
