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.

             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.”
