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
