Verse 1]
G5Asus4
You cut your ties...felt better off.
Dsus2/BAsus4G5
Salutations to your son.
G5Asus4
Awoke to find...you heading out
Dsus2/BAsus4G5
with your white collar undone.
G5Asus4
You placed a bar...I played a game
Dsus2/BAsus4G5
to see how low that I could go.
Dsus2/Asus4 G5
We develop mental pictures
Dsus2/BAsus4G5
and we're follow...ing our fathers down the
Asus4G5
drain.

Verse 2
G5Asus4
Do you recall the imagery
Dsus2/BAsusG5
from when I drove you away?
G5Asus4
Through others' rose prescription lens,
Dsus2/Asus4 G5
man I'm sorry every day.
G5Asus4
because We intersect internally
Dsus2/BAsus4G5
and then we take what we have and we run.
Dsus2/BAsus4G5
and it all starts to unravel
Dsus2/BAsus4G5Asus4
until we're less than we were carrying before.
Dsus2
I guess I expected more.
Chorus
Asus4DsusG5us4
Wake me, wake me up.
(Pictures of you smiling in times
Dsus2
when I just couldn't be around.)
Asus4DsusG5us4
Hold me, hold me up.
(Count my rings to see how many winters
Dsus2
I've been stuck here underground.)
Asus4Dsus2Asus4
Swore I'd not burn out.
(Digging through the memories
G5Dsus2
that made you feel alive when you were young.)
Asus4Dsus2/BAsus4
You were right to doubt.
(Broken since foundations
G5G5
in the structures you were building came undone.
Instrumental Break
G5Asus4G5us4/B
(Repeat a few times)
Bridge
Dsus2/B
Part of your charm was
Asus4G5
the way you would push me from
Dsus2/BAsus4G5
all of the traps that I just couldn't see.
Dsus2/BAsus4G5
Figures the one that was there to have tripped you up
Dsus2/BAsus4G5
would be the one that was set there by me.
Dsus2/BAsus4G5
Wish I was there to say goodbye when you went away.
Dsus2/BAsus4G5
Wish I was home, oh but no place was there.
Dsus2/BAsus4G5
I cut off my arm at the bone in solidarity.
Dsus2/BAsus4G5
Capital teaches that there's less when you share.
Dsus2/BAsus4G5
And I felt the noose tighten up on your collar bone.
Dsus2/BAsus4G5
And I felt the gun in the small of your back.
Dsus2/BAsus4G5
Engraved in the stone by request and recurse of friends dead is
Dsus2/BAsus4G5G5
'Tell me again that it's all in my head.'
