Verse 1:
E MajorE          (EM7)    E MajorE A augmentedA
Nothing feels the same since you got home
E MajorE            (EM7)  E MajorE  A augmentedA
Someone swapped the pictures on your wall
E MajorE      (EM7) E MajorE  A augmentedA
Photos of evaporated  men
E MajorE           (EM7) E MajorE A augmentedA
Torn up bodies thrown across the sand
    BB    A augmentedA      (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your arm

Verse 2:
E MajorE          (EM7)    E MajorE A augmentedA
She's been really great since I got back
E MajorE           (EM7) E MajorE  A augmentedA
I'm afraid she knows I'm off the map
E MajorE           (EM7)  E MajorE  A augmentedA
She's been trying to talk inside my mouth
E MajorE             (EM7)  E MajorE  A augmentedA
I've been trying to calm my conscious down
    BB    A augmentedA      (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your spine

E MajorE  A augmentedA
N.C.

Chorus:
C# minorC#m    BB       A augmentedA        E MajorE
When I dream I see your dad holding your throat
C# minorC#m     BB            A augmentedA        E MajorE
His mouth up to your ear, he's screaming, "I've been shot"
A augmentedA     BB  C# minorC#m   E MajorE  A augmentedA     BB    C# minorC#m BB
You bank on a linear life evolved by your command
A augmentedA    BB    C# minorC#m   E MajorE    A augmentedA   BB
You'll find the painful prize of watching it unhinge

Verse 3:
E MajorE          (EM7)  E MajorE  A augmentedA
You, you took it harder than our friends
E MajorE          (EM7) E MajorE A augmentedA
I'm afraid you're spiraling again
E MajorE         (EM7) E MajorE A augmentedA
Ran into your family at the go
E MajorE            (EM7)   E MajorE A augmentedA
Looked like they'd been living with a ghost
    BB    A augmentedA      (riff*)
There's nothing worse than a poverty line


Verse 4:
E MajorE          (EM7)  E MajorE A augmentedA
I can hardly look at her that way
E MajorE        (EM7)    E MajorE A augmentedA
Naked bodies haven't looked the same
E MajorE          (EM7)   E MajorE A augmentedA
I can't tell her why she's gotta stop
E MajorE        (EM7)    E MajorE A augmentedA
Too ashamed to open that one knock
    BB    A augmentedA     (riff*)
There's nothing worse than being intertwined

E MajorE  A augmentedA
N.C.

Chorus:
C# minorC#m     BB       A augmentedA        E MajorE
You've been dreaming I'm the dad you never had
C# minorC#m  BB      A augmentedA      E MajorE
Having out of body visions of my death
A augmentedA  BB   C# minorC#m   E MajorE    A augmentedA     BB    C# minorC#m BB
Bank on a catered life that bends for your demands
A augmentedA    BB    C# minorC#m   E MajorE    A augmentedA   BB
Expect the painful prize of watching it unhinge


Verse 5:
E MajorE        (EM7)  E MajorE  A augmentedA
I remember back when we were kids
E MajorE       (EM7)  E MajorE A augmentedA
Life without a paralyzing mid
E MajorE       (EM7)  E MajorE A augmentedA
Now we get together in a glass
E MajorE           (EM7)  E MajorE A augmentedA
Hardly speak to watch the silence pass
    BB    A augmentedA     (riff*)
There's nothing worse than silent alarm


Verse 6:
E MajorE        (EM7)  E MajorE  A augmentedA
We were trying awkwardly to sleep
E MajorE           (EM7) E MajorE A augmentedA
Detailed out your plan on my machine
E MajorE       (EM7)  E MajorE A augmentedA
They still astounded in the dark
E MajorE            (EM7)  E MajorE A augmentedA
Shocked that it had finally fallen apart
    BB    A augmentedA     (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your mind

E MajorE  A augmentedA
N.C.

Chorus:
C# minorC#m    BB        A augmentedA      E MajorE
I've been dreaming of this unrelenting love
C# minorC#m  BB       A augmentedA        E MajorE
Depreciated gasping towards a new unknown
A augmentedA BB   C# minorC#m   E MajorE    A augmentedA    BB    C# minorC#m BB
It was a trusted ride before the water froze
A augmentedA    BB    C# minorC#m   E MajorE    A augmentedA   BB
I found the painful prize is rowing it alone


Verse 7:
E MajorE        (EM7)  E MajorE  A augmentedA
Drove out to the desert in your van
E MajorE        (EM7)  E MajorE  A augmentedA
Drank some gasoline and made love to your hand
E MajorE        (EM7)  E MajorE  A augmentedA
Cursed your God below for what he'd done
E MajorE        (EM7)  E MajorE  A augmentedA
Before you sucked a bullet from your father's gun
    BB    A augmentedA     (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your life


Verse 8:
E MajorE        (EM7)  E MajorE  A augmentedA
At your funeral she took my hand
E MajorE        (EM7)  E MajorE  A augmentedA
Placed it on the baby in your lap
E MajorE        (EM7)  E MajorE  A augmentedA
I've been trying my best to find my peace
E MajorE        (EM7)  E MajorE  A augmentedA
But they both look like criminals to me
    BB    A augmentedA     (riff*)
There's nothing worse than trusting a lie


Bridge:
C# minorC#m  BB        A augmentedA      E MajorE
When I dream I see your body inside hers
C# minorC#m  BB        A augmentedA        E MajorE
When I wake I see your face but call it off
A augmentedA  BB    C# minorC#m   E MajorE    A augmentedA    BB    C# minorC#m BB
The less you care for it, the less it has to grow
A augmentedA BB   C# minorC#m   E MajorE   A augmentedA    BB    E MajorE
I can't abandon it and watch it turn to smoke


Outro:
E MajorE        (EM7)  E MajorE  A augmentedA
Recently I'm working on myself
E MajorE          (EM7)  E MajorE  A augmentedA
Starting to convince myself it helps
    BB    A augmentedA     (riff*)
There's nothing wrong with being alive
