The verses are basically the first half of the intro plus some chords so I'm
just going to write out the chords over the lyrics.
Verse 1:
Wrapt, in “Star Wars” sheets,
with my hand across your belly,
we waded through the watercolor.
we waded through the watercolor.
And drunk in your parents house,
junk coming out of your mouth,
we were buried in the ice sculpture,
we were buried in the ice sculpture,
and you said
Chorus:
“I would be anything that you wanted me to be,
I would be anything that you wanted me to be,
I would be anything that you wanted me to be,
but how could I change my body?”
Guitar Solo:

Second time through is basically the same but play a C maj to end it.
Verse 2:
I love the picture that your mother stole;
dad holds out the tiny piece he’ll release from his soul -
before he flew up in the helicopter,
before he swooped down as a door gunner,
before God gave him the favor
that meant he isn’t getting others.
Chorus:
“I would be anything that you wanted me to be,
I would be anything that you wanted me to be,
I would be anything that you wanted me to be,
but how could I change my body?”
Repeat a bunch to end. End on a Çmaj chord.
