Key: Em ♫ Intro: Em x4 B7 x2 Em x4 G x2 A x2 Em ♫ Verse 1: Em B7 There was a wanderer who found his way to God Em Or maybe it was Lucifer under some false facade Em Broken down and tattered B7 Compound fractures in his sleeves Em Shoe soles nailed together Em But he never seemed to bleed ♫ Refrain: Em G With one desperate push B7 Em His poor diaphragm forced out a plea ♫ Verse 2: (repeat intro) A Em B7 He said: One home burned down, one fell apart Em One met a flood, and one was nothing from the start Em G B7 Weapons build against me, well they all seem to fail Em7 But weapons built against my home Em7 Am They always will prevail ♫ Pre-Chorus: Em So leave me my liver and leave me my skin Em Leave me the way all those other homes did Em But leave me a soul, only by definition Em CM7 I don't want to feel anything ♫ Chorus: Em D G C My neurons are snapping like cat gut strings Em D GM7 C A symphony of agony Em D I don't wanna hear and I don't wanna sing G C I don't wanna breathe incompletely Em D I am mourning G C I am morning Em So break me anew Em D Bm Em G B7 Em G Asus4 ♫ Verse 3: Asus4 Em Well, I'll find every sick fuck I can G B7 And I'll make them a deal B7 Em With no conscience, I'll make money and Em G I'll lie and cheat and steal G Em And that money won't bring happiness Em But let me ask what does Em 'Cause I've found a place, and those sick fucks Em Well, they turned it to dust ♫ Refrain: Em G And if I can't have justice B Em I might as well join the unjust ♫ Verse 4: (repeat intro) Em7 The floorboards smelled like lemonade G Em Prepared for our arrival Em The air was clean and crisp Em Just like a tonic for survival Em Well, I wrote my name in charcoal Em G B7 On the bathhouse where we cried B7 Em7 So now I'm broken fundamentally Em7 Am7 And nobody gets why ♫ Pre-Chorus: Em So give me what drugs you got, give me your meds Em Give me a cocktail to sedate my head Em Abandon all hope of my moral salvation Em They already took that from me ♫ Chorus: Em D G C The sky was an angel of morning's heat Em D GM7 C With languid, shiny curls of aquamarine Em D And when I close my eyes and when I dare to dream G C When I think I might shatter completely Em D I can feel them in my hands D C But I can't go back again Em D G C My neurons are snapping like cat gut strings Em D GM7 C A symphony of agony Em D I don't wanna hear and I don't wanna sing G C I don't wanna breathe incompletely Em D I am mourning G C I am morning Em So break me anew C D x2 G x2 Em x6 Em7 x4 B x3 Em x6 Em7 x3 A x3 ♫ Outro: Em G B Turns out that the god he found was just a little girl Em Sitting on a swingset Gm A Just a little girl Em She said "Mister, you look tired Em G B I will let you go, but first Em I think that what you're asking for G Bm Em It just might make things worse"
