Madelyn, 
                           A 
I share your hate for this world we're in  
                  Bm 
but it makes me a better man.  
                        G 
It's an excuse that you make.  
D 
Madelyn, 
                           A 
I know you want to let the bottles in. 
                              Bm 
I know you think that they're all your friends. 
                               G 
They're lying straight to your face. 
      Em 
And I know 
          A             G 
about the devil in your bloodstream. 
      Em    
And I know 
         A                  G 
that the ghosts still visit nightly. 
Em 
And I know 
            A             G           
it must get lonely by the Chesapeake. 

F#m      Em 

D 
Madelyn, 
               A 
are you really afraid of death 
               Bm 
or do you just say it if 
                        G 
it's the right thing to say? 
D 
Madelyn, 
                             A 
I know you're safe where you lay your head, 
                     Bm 
but if you wanted to come back, 
                           G 
I've got a place you could stay. 
Em 
If I'm not 
      A 
doing right 
      G 
by my family, 
     Em 
then what's 
    A           G 
the point of it anyway?  
        F#m 
        Em 
Of this anyway? 
                        D 
I don't think there's a god. 
                           A 
I don't think that there's someone coming to save us 
      Bm                                      G 
and I don't think that's the worst news of the day. 
                        D 
I don't think there's a god. 
                           A 
I don't think that there's someone coming to save me 
      Bm                                      G 
and I don't think that's the worst news of the day. 
D 
Madelyn, 
                A 
I know how your cold scars turn purple. 
               Bm 
I know how the Irish goodbyes feel. 
                    G 
I know where you've been 
    D 
and Madelyn, 
                   A 
you and I got this East Coast blood between us. 
     Bm 
It's bitter and vitriolic. 
              G 
I know how it ends. 
       Em        A           G 
If I'm not doing right by my family. 
          Em        A        G 
well, I'm not doing right by family.
