Chords in this song14

Verse 1

I'm sitting on the curb by the
empty parking lot of the
store where they let me play the organ 
I'm waiting for my ride
But I want to wait inside of the store
where they let me play the organ

Pre-Chorus

But I'm thinking of a wooden chair
In the room at the top of the stair
Ebm N.C.
And I'm looking down the stairwell
at the vanishing

Chorus

dot on the map of the spot
Let me take you there
The dotted line surrounding the mind
of a self-called nowhere
It's a thing named "it" in a bottomless pit
You can't see it there
The sunken head that lies in the bed
of a self-called nowhere
[Bridge] (Chorus chords)

Verse 2

Standing in my yard
where they tore down the garage
to make room for the torn down garage 
I'm looking for my car
But I must've sold my car
when I needed to buy an electric organ

Pre-Chorus

But I'm thinking of a wooden chair
In the room at the top of the stair
Ebm N.C.
And I'm looking down the stairwell
at

Chorus

the vanishing dot on the map of the spot
Let me take you there
The dotted line surrounding the mind
of a self-called nowhere
It's a thing named "it" in a bottomless pit
You can't see it there
The sunken head that lies in the bed
of a self-called nowhere
[Bridge] (Chorus chords)
[Chorus] (w/ phaser)
the vanishing dot on the map of the spot
Let me take you there
The dotted line surrounding the mind
of a self-called nowhere
It's a thing named "it" in a bottomless pit
You can't see it there
The sunken head that lies in the bed
of a self-called nowhere
