[Part 1]
Db F7
What are you meant to do
Bbm
When all those people who were
Gb
There for you
Db
Are all gone?
F7 Bbm
You buried them alive
Gb Db
And straight inside you went
And cocked the gun
F7 Bbm
Shot three times
Gb
And straight inside you went
Db
Sit with your silence
F7
Wait for a call
Bbm
Regret their compliance
Gb
As you sit with it all
Db
You'll sit without silence
F7
As your phone rings from a call
Bbm
Regret their defiance
Gb
As you sit with them all
Db
You say that's how the story went
But I won't buy it
F7
Even if you showed up at my doorstep
You're lyin
Bbm
I'll ask the corpse with a wound to the dome
Gb
Buried under the porch of your childhood home
Db
And when she tells the story of
You gettin' high and
F7
The origin of your lack of thrivin

Where I was your fool and that wound was for me

But don't leave it up to me
F7
'Cause the reoccurring haunt
Of you appears to be

A flaw in design
Gb
A man-made error
A name of mine was
A Chronic Starer

I'll let you off the hook

If you promise not to lie

I'll let you off the hook
Gb
If you'd just come straight inside
Db
Send my apologies for (I'll let you, I'll let you)
F7
The times I got behind (I'll let you, I'll let you)
Bbm
The things that I don't need, and (I'd let you, I'd let you, I'd let you, I'll let you)
Gb
The things she tried to hide (I'll let you, I'll let you, I'll let you, I love you)
Db
I'll ask the corpse with a wound to the dome
F7
Buried under the porch of your childhood home, and
Bbm
I'll hit the snooze and return to the dream where
Gb
I was your fool and that wound was for me
Db F7
A flaw in design, a man-made error
A name of mine was A Chronic Starer
Bbm Gb
A flaw of mine, maybe user-error
I know I'm just a chronic starer
