Intro:
GCGDGCDGCDEm
So here's the note I left by the fireplace and ash
CD
From all the notes that I had burned not long ago.
GCDEm
It's great how severing all these ties can make things right,
CD
Or at least less wrong than they ever were before.
GCDEm
Those days I'd sit, pensive, by the window and I could taste
CD
The awful flavor of nostalgia mixed with hurt.
GC
But now my mouth, my mouth is dry.
DEm
I choke on logic and my tongue is tied
CD
From reciting inspired bible verses and bullshit lies.
Em
They say that this world is a wide open road
GDEm
And we're stuck holding the wheel,
CD
But in one hand's a whiskey and the other's too drunk to steer,
G
So where do we go from here?
GCGDGCEDGC
I dance and I pray, I dance and pray for rain
DEm
To wipe this earth out once again!-
CD
And extend those forty days and nights indefinitely.
GCDEm
There'll be tidal waves as all of our problems wash away,
CD
You can here my laughter just before I start to drown.
Em
If everyone here is a child of God,
GDEm
Then the world is a pitiless whore
CD
And He's still playing favorites and behind on His child support.
G
So where do we go from here now?
GCGDGDm
x2
Quietly, play each chord only once:
Em
The noose that we wear doesn't matter at all,
GDEm
(Unless we kick out our feet)
C (begin to build back up...) D
Perhaps our salvation is to know that we're incomplete.
Back at regular volume:
GC
So here's the note, the note that counts,
DEm
Explaining why I wanted out.
C
It reads in small print:
D
"I'm much to tired to think anymore..."
G
So where do we go from here?
GCGDGCEDGCGDGCEmD
(Repeat "Where do we go from here now?" with the occasional vocal riffing til end.)
