Intro:
   G

Verse 1:
    G
Sensitivity deprived
                       Em
I can't feel a thing inside

I blamed my father in my youth
                               C
Now as a father, I blame the booze
D                             G
I have become uncomfortably numb

Verse 2:

     G
Sensitivity deprived
                    Em
All my sympathy prescribed

I used to struggle in my youth
                                C
Now I'm used to struggling for two
D                            G
I have become uncomfortably numb


Chorus:
     C
The lessons

The lessons
     D
Are so much

Are so much
      Em
Less obvious

The further you get from home
                        C
The further I get from home

How will you exist
  D
How will I exist
              Em
Without consequence?
              G
I'll let you know


Verse 3:
 G
We were gentle to begin
                                      Em
When I pushed you around to break you in

Now whenever I try to be clear with you
                                  C
I only end up feeling see-through
                        D
I've tried, but you've won
                            G
Comatose, like father like son


Chorus:
     C
The lessons

The lessons
     D
Are so much

Are so much
       Em
Less obvious

The further you get from home
                        C
The further I get from home

How will you exist
 D
How will I exist?
                 Em
I don't want to know

Blacked out, protected
                 C
I just want you home
                      D          G
I'll make new friends in the ambulance
