Verse 1:
    G+G     Fmaj7Fmaj7  C majorC       G+G
In the summer of '07 I was sure I'd go to heaven
           Fmaj7Fmaj7  C majorC G+G
But I was hedging my bets at VBS
         Fmaj7Fmaj7      C majorC      G+G
The preacher in a t-shirt told me I could be a leader
             Fmaj7Fmaj7    C majorC     A minorAm   C majorC
Taught me how to build a fire and to spread the word


    G+G      Fmaj7Fmaj7    C majorC        G+G
In the evening everybody went to worship and weep
        Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC      G+G
Hands above our heads, reaching for God
      Fmaj7Fmaj7      C majorC       G+G
Back in the cabin, snorting nutmeg in your bunk bed
            Fmaj7Fmaj7   C majorC    A minorAm  C majorC
You were waiting for a revelation of your own

G+G     Fmaj7Fmaj7    C majorC         G+G
Sedentary secrets like peach pits in your gut
         Fmaj7Fmaj7      C majorC       G+G
Locked away like jam jars in the cellar of your heart
       Fmaj7Fmaj7   C majorC     G+G
Waiting to be tasted and ultimately wasted
        Fmaj7Fmaj7    C majorC      A minorAm  C majorC
You were gonna win me over from the start

Chorus:
  Fmaj7Fmaj7
The poetry was so bad
  C majorC       G+G
It took a lot to not laugh
  G+G      Fmaj7Fmaj7     C majorC
You said that I showed you the light
      A minorAm     C majorC
But all it did in the end
       G+G     Fmaj7Fmaj7    C majorC
Was make the dark feel darker than before

G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 A minorAm C majorC

Verse 2:
   G+G       Fmaj7Fmaj7          C majorC      G+G
Your dad keeps his sleeves down through the summer for a reason
           Fmaj7Fmaj7    C majorC      G+G
Your mother wears her makeup extra thick for a reason
             Fmaj7Fmaj7      C majorC     G+G
When I tell you you were born and you are here for a reason
             Fmaj7Fmaj7    A minorAm   C majorC
You are not convinced the reason is a good one

       G+G    Fmaj7Fmaj7      C majorC     G+G
While you're going to sleep your mind keeps you awake
            Fmaj7C      G+G
And it makes your heart beat fast and loud
            Fmaj7Fmaj7   C majorC       G+G
There's nothing you can do but the only thing you found
            Fmaj7Fmaj7      C majorC    A minorAm C majorC
Playing Slayer at full volume helps to block it out


Chorus:
  Fmaj7Fmaj7
The poetry was so bad
  C majorC       G+G
It took a lot to not laugh
  G+G      Fmaj7Fmaj7     C majorC
You said that I showed you the light
      A minorAm     C majorC
But all it did in the end
       G+G     Fmaj7Fmaj7    C majorC
Was make the dark feel darker than before
G+G     Fmaj7Fmaj7    C majorC
Dark feel darker than before
G+G     Fmaj7Fmaj7    A minorAm
Dark feel darker than before
