Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
    G     Fmaj7  C       G
In the summer of '07 I was sure I'd go to heaven
           Fmaj7  C G
But I was hedging my bets at VBS
         Fmaj7      C      G
The preacher in a t-shirt told me I could be a leader
             Fmaj7    C     Am   C
Taught me how to build a fire and to spread the word


    G      Fmaj7    C        G
In the evening everybody went to worship and weep
        Fmaj7 C      G
Hands above our heads, reaching for God
      Fmaj7      C       G
Back in the cabin, snorting nutmeg in your bunk bed
            Fmaj7   C    Am  C
You were waiting for a revelation of your own

G     Fmaj7    C         G
Sedentary secrets like peach pits in your gut
         Fmaj7      C       G
Locked away like jam jars in the cellar of your heart
       Fmaj7   C     G
Waiting to be tasted and ultimately wasted
        Fmaj7    C      Am  C
You were gonna win me over from the start


Chorus:
  Fmaj7
The poetry was so bad
  C       G
It took a lot to not laugh
  G      Fmaj7     C
You said that I showed you the light
      Am     C
But all it did in the end
       G     Fmaj7    C
Was make the dark feel darker than before

G Fmaj7 Am C

Verse 2:
   G       Fmaj7          C      G
Your dad keeps his sleeves down through the summer for a reason
           Fmaj7    C      G
Your mother wears her makeup extra thick for a reason
             Fmaj7      C     G
When I tell you you were born and you are here for a reason
             Fmaj7    Am   C
You are not convinced the reason is a good one

       G    Fmaj7      C     G
While you're going to sleep your mind keeps you awake
            Fmaj7C      G
And it makes your heart beat fast and loud
            Fmaj7   C       G
There's nothing you can do but the only thing you found
            Fmaj7      C    Am C
Playing Slayer at full volume helps to block it out


Chorus:
  Fmaj7
The poetry was so bad
  C       G
It took a lot to not laugh
  G      Fmaj7     C
You said that I showed you the light
      Am     C
But all it did in the end
       G     Fmaj7    C
Was make the dark feel darker than before
G     Fmaj7    C
Dark feel darker than before
G     Fmaj7    Am
Dark feel darker than before
