Intro: D    G     D     G 

D               G            D      G 
Just when I thought I had handled solace 
         D           G          D        G 
I could soften my guard behind false confidence 
D            G            D       G 
Just when I felt humbled by insipid 
        D                G             D          G 
Except from this blind side and from reading a script 

D                   G        D                 G 
Cause I am seduced by reaction and under the influence 

D                G   D             G              D 
I'm slipping again I'm up to my tricks off my wagon 
              G                A G 
I have no defense I'm reaking havoc 
          A  G             D 
wreaking havoc in consequence 

D         G          D         G 
I get reduced by my own willfulness as 
    D           G      D         G 
I reach for my usual god replacements 
D         G               D               G 
Cause I wish for sanction it lacks in my steps 


Bm             G              Bm 
Forgiveness is understanding that 
               G              A         G 
Affirming a compact for the millionth time 
          A        G                D 
On this tumbling house of cards of mine 



I am beaten by my impulsiveness 
By this uncanny foreshadowing of regret 
Cause I'm repulsed by restriction at least that's my excuse
