verse 1
G5 Asus4
You cut your ties...felt better off.
Dsus2/B Asus4 G5
Salutations to your son.
G5 Asus4
Awoke to find...you heading out
Dsus2/B Asus4 G5
with your white collar undone.
G5 Asus4
You placed a bar...I played a game
Dsus2/B Asus4 G5
to see how low that I could go.
Dsus2/B Asus4 G5
We develop mental pictures
Dsus2/B Asus4 G5
and we’re follow...ing our fathers down the
Asus4 G5
drain.

verse 2
G5 Asus4
Do you recall the imagery
Dsus2/B Asus4 G5
from when I drove you away?
G5 Asus4
Through others’ rose prescription lens,
Dsus2/B Asus4 G5
man I’m sorry every day.
G5 Asus4
because We intersect internally
Dsus2/B Asus4 G5
and then we take what we have and we run.
Dsus2/B Asus4 G5
and it all starts to unravel
Dsus2/B Asus4 G5 Asus4
until we’re less than we were carrying before.
Dsus2
I guess I expected more.
Asus4 Dsus2/B Asus4 G5
Wake me, wake me up.
(Pictures of you smiling in times
Dsus2
when I just couldn’t be around.)
Asus4 Dsus2/B Asus4 G5
Hold me, hold me up.
(Count my rings to see how many winters
Dsus2
I’ve been stuck here underground.)
Asus4 Dsus2/B Asus4
Swore I’d not burn out.
(Digging through the memories
G5 Dsus2
that made you feel alive when you were young.)
Asus4 Dsus2/B Asus4
You were right to doubt.
(Broken since foundations
G5 G5
in the structures you were building came undone.
Instrumental Break

Bridge
{6/8 Time}
Dsus2/B
Part of your charm was
Asus4 G5
the way you would push me from
Dsus2/B Asus4 G5
all of the traps that I just couldn’t see.
Dsus2/B Asus4 G5
Figures the one that was there to have tripped you up
Dsus2/B Asus4 G5
would be the one that was set there by me.
Dsus2/B Asus4 G5
Wish I was there to say goodbye when you went away.
Dsus2/B Asus4 G5
Wish I was home, oh but no place was there.
Dsus2/B Asus4 G5
I cut off my arm at the bone in solidarity.
Dsus2/B Asus4 G5
Capital teaches that there’s less when you share.
Dsus2/B Asus4 G5
And I felt the noose tighten up on your collar bone.
Dsus2/B Asus4 G5
And I felt the gun in the small of your back.
Dsus2/B Asus4 G5
Engraved in the stone by request and recurse of friends dead is
Dsus2/B Asus4 G5 G5
“Tell me again that it’s all in my head.”
