Verse 
              Am     G 
And it's been forty days 
           Am     G 
I've tried forty ways 
         Am                      G 
You will never quite leave your sins behind 
         Am                    G                Am 
They'll haunt you, taunt you 'til the day you die 
         G             Am 
You will never really go 
                           G                       Am 
You'll just think about it much but you'll need to know 
        G                     Am 
How the story ends, so you'll sit around, 
      G                     Am 
Even though you should just go 
           G                     Am 
Tell your friends what you have heard, 
          G                Am 
Show them all the lies unlearned 
              G                    Am                 G        
         F   G 
And when you really go, you will really know you were never meant for earth 
              Am    G 
What's it worth? 
          F                            G            Am   
C  G 
If we're gonna break it down with any logic, it's absurd 

F    G    Am   C 
F    G    Am   Am 

 
 
Am  G 
And no matter where we go, we are not alone 
          F                E          Am   G 
When the silence turns to cries of "Wh---y?" 
       
Am  G 
What a way to begin: we inherit sin 
       F                            E                        Am 
And nobody's going to quench your thirst when the well runs dry 
            Dm 
(Well runs dry) 
       Am                        E                   Am G Am 
And nobody's going to hold your hand on the day you die
 

Intro 

Verse 
            Am     G                 Am       G 
I've tasted seven sins, so they won't let me in 
                Am                         G 
I knock knock knock until my knuckles are bruised and raw 
Am                            G                       Am 
Stuck in the middle with my blood in a puddle on the floor 
    G        Am           G        Am 
We made our beds, we'll judge ourselves 
                      
 F    G 
And only then and there will we disappear to our final resting place 
        Am     G 
What a waste! 
    F           G            Am   C  G 
So many decent people at the gates 
F    G    Am   C 
F    G    Am   Am
