  			              C               Em7 
Digging up the bones of the failures I've buried 
                       F          G 
I'm pulling out my white flags in various stages 
                 Dm 
The sun bleached in gray 
                  Am 
Gonna sew them all together 
                 Bb                F 
Gonna fashion their bones into a frame 
               G                         
Tie the flags on a string 
                           F                     
Stretched across until they're wings 
       Fm 
I'm no closer to heaven 


(Listen to the song for timing but this part is C Em7 F C G/B Am G ) 

         C              Em7  
I clipped a bird with my car on the freeway 
            F 
He won't see a burial 
            G            Dm 
And all week long I kept thinking of death 
                         Bb                 
How me and Hemingway share forehead scars 
              F          G 
I won't meet the same fate that he did 
                    F 
In a world that I can't fix 
                  Fm 
With a hammer in my grip 

I'm no closer to heaven 


               Am              Dm 
It feels like the day before something important 
                G       C    G/D 
It feels like the first snow of the season that sticks 
            Am       Dm 
It's how I'll always feel like a failure 
              G 
In the back of my head 
                      F*  (Hold this note) 
No matter where I've been 
                  Fm 
The future feels bright 


C   Em7 
The glow of the city 
                   F  
Out across the great plains 
              G 
With the closer I get 
                Dm 
The further I feel away 
                    Am 
I can stay here in the darkness 
            Bb             F 
Feels like I'm wandering in circles for days 
               G 
We never reach the gates 
               F 
I'll keep walking anyway 
      Fm 
I'm no closer to heaven
