verse 1

Am 
I had a brother once 
G 
He drowned in a bathtub 
F                                    E          Am 
before he'd ever learned, howwwww to talk 
                  G 
And I don't know what his name was 
F 
but my mother does 
E 
I heard her say it once 

Am 
Padraic my prince I've all but died 
G 
From the sheer weight of my shame 
F 
You cried but no one came 
E 
As the water filled your tiny lungs 
Am 
Appear my dear and cry for me 
G 
It was six years ago today 
F 
That I laid you in your grave 
E 
Your sweet young skin was shining then too 

 
 

Am                         F 
So tonight to celebrate, i will... 
        G 
I will poison myself 
Am                                 F 
Another coughing, shaking fit in a bathroom 
        G 
That is spinning 
     C           G 
And I close the door 
      Am                  F              
And I rest my head on the tile floor 
C            G                Am 
Sickness and sleep turning me cooooold 
        C              G 
And I'm stilllll nottt sure 
              Am                      F 
Is there some better place I could be heading towards? 
C                      G             Am                     E    
...Where the selfishly sick and self-absorbeddddddddddddddddd 
Am*         
Are welcome 


 
verse 2  

Am 
I saw the future once 
G 
I was drunk in a phone booth 
F 
My eyes were wet and red 
E                                          Am 
But I could not tell what was said 
                G 
And through the screams of the traffic 
F 
Voices carried 
E 
Saying "I'm sorry" 
Am 
On a day so gray it's black inside 
G 
Watching churches on TV 
F 
In a coma you don't dream 
E 
You just hope that someone sits with you 
Am 
Babies turn blue when they're ignored 
G 
Like the sky on summer days 
F 
Before you turn and walk away 
E 
It has changed you 

 
 


Am                          F 
So tonight to compensate, I will... 
       G 
I will poison myself 
Am                                F 
Another coughing shaking fit in a bathroom 
        G 
That is spinningggg
