Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
A minorAm                C majorC
The end already came here and we tunneled through the earth,
    A minorAm                  C majorC
In the basement with the lights out to The Good Life and The Cure
     D MajorD                FF
With the Geiger counter crying and your breathing keeping time
      D MajorD               FF
Learned to think with just my body and to move with just my mind


   A minorAm             C majorC
This used to be a commune, this used to be a farm
      A minorAm                  C majorC
A augmentedA winding way north of the train tracks and south of the liquor store
     D MajorD               FF
Where I caught you with a bottle and a ship carved in your arm
     D MajorD                 FF
With your banjo and your bare feet and your sadness like a stone

Chorus:
      G+G    C majorC
And always so alone
              A minorAm
Nobody loved you like they should
     FF        D MajorD
Son of a gun, day of the dead
      G+G            C majorC
Hand on my heart and your name in my head
      G+G            C majorC
Hand on my heart and your name in my head

Verse 2:
    A minorAm                C majorC
So your sister called me crying from halfway across the states
       A minorAm              C majorC
She chose the dying of the desert over the dying of the plains
     D MajorD              FF
Said New Mexico was different but the sunlight was the same
     D MajorD               FF
And the phone was near on fire and she couldn’t say your name

      A minorAm               C majorC
And so we lay you in the garden and you sprung up like a weed
       A minorAm                C majorC
Where we’d scattered red tomatoes and spilled morning glory seeds
      D MajorD               FF
All of us tripping in the overgrowth and dying in the brush
   D MajorD                 FF
All agreed we would have laid ourselves beside you if we could

Chorus:
     G+G       C majorC
And if I could, I would
                A minorAm
I would have loved you like I should
     FF        D MajorD
Son of a gun, day of the dead,
      G+G            A minorAm
Hand on my heart and your name in my head
      C majorC
Hand on my heart,

                G+G   C majorC                   A minorAm
And sometimes I still hear you calling me
                 A minorAm
With some bad dream you can’t forget
     FF        D MajorD
Son of a gun, go back to sleep
      G+G              A minorAm
Kind of the world when you’re crying to me

C majorC        G+G     A minorAm
That you were never any good
       FF         D MajorD
Fighting your mind, king of the world
     G+G            A minorAm
I’m on my way so just stay on the line

Verse 3:
A minorAm                      C majorC
Did we come back here for each other, did we come back here for us
      A minorAm             C majorC
Or did the magnets in the city pull the iron in our blood?

Bridge:
       D MajorD                FF
Well I came back here for the living, I came back here for the love
     D MajorD              FF
For the idea of an ending, for the friendship and the drugs

    D MajorD                FF
I came back here for the fires that we lit to light us up
    D MajorD                FF
I came back here for the living, I came back here for the love

Chorus:
      G+G     C majorC                 A minorAm
And just to say it straight, that we all did the best we could
     FF       D MajorD
Carrying on, under the sun
       G+G             A minorAm
Hands in the soil and a prayer for the waking ones

C majorC     G+G      A minorAm       FF         D MajorD       G+G
Somebody’s gotta stay behind, carry it on, rise with the sun, ready or not
          A minorAm                C majorC
In the name of the ones we love, In the name of the ones we love

Coda:
         A minorAm                         C majorC
We stay for the ones we love, if not yourself then you stay for the ones you love
           G+G        A minorAm
And I hope you’re dreaming somewhere good

     FF       D MajorD         G+G            A minorAm
Son of a gun, day of the dead, hand on my heart and your name in my head
      G+G             A minorAm
Hand on my heart and your name in my head
