"The Alien"

Intro:

Em                               A
 The lights were low enough, you guessed
                 D                                G
You swapped your conscience with your fathers medication
Em                           A
 Limped from Rome to Lawrenceville
           D                               G
And on the way wrote out a self-made declaration
Em                            A
 And when you got to Pleasant Hill
               D                            G
You forced the traffic to erase your family demons
Em                            A
 And made a pact with you and God
             D                             G
If you don't move I swear to you I'm gonna make ya

Chorus:
       G     Bm
Do you need me?
       D     G
Do you need me?
       G     Bm
Do you need me?
       D     G
Do you need me?

Verse 2:
Em                        A
 When the first officer arrived
               D                                G
It happened to be the high school bully of your brother
Em                     A
 When you finally recognized
              D                               G
You felt some guilt that you had even let him touch you
Em                            A
 Can you hear me? What's your name?
              D                                 G
You could not speak just laid amazed at all the damage
Em                                A
 And as the high school's letting out
        D                                    G
All the kids saying the same thing that they used to

Chorus:
        G   Bm
It's an a-lien
        D   G
It's an a-lien
        G   Bm
It's an a-lien
        D   G
It's an a-lien

Verse 3:
Em                              A
 The lights are low enough, you guessed
         D                              G
Hospital food, there's never enough medication
Em                           A
 The doctor asked about your ears
              D                                 G
You said your mom said you were made from a revelation
Em                    A
 The revelation never scares
            D                                   G
If you came from your drunken dad and a pair of scissors
Em                        A
 You just finally letting go?
        D                                 G
Did you mean to take out all those people with you?

Chorus:
       G     Bm
Didn't mean to
       D     G
Didn't mean to
       G     Bm
Didn't mean to
       D     G
Didn't mean to

Chorus:
            G     Bm
Oh I didn't mean to (Oh I didn't take the time to learn to let you go)
            D     G
Oh I didn't mean to (Never letting go)
            G     Bm
No I didn't mean to (Oh I didn't take the time to learn to let you go)
            D     G
Oh I didn't mean to (Never letting go)

Time is here to take your last amendments and believe them on your own
Em                                                        D
Time is here to take you by the hand and leave you there alone
Em                                                              D
Time has come to take the last commandment and to carve it into stone
Em                                                        D
Time has come to take you by the hand and leave you here alone

       D                   G                        A
So you leave the apartment, grab the gun under the bed

Pre-Chorus:
          Em
I want to reach above the paradox where nobody can see
        D
Want to hold a light to paradigm and strip it to its feet

I want to feel the way my father felt, is it easier for me?
          D
I want to know if there's a higher love oblivious to me

Verse 2:

So you walk in the grocery and you unload several rounds

"Don't you dare move a muscle", cardboard cutout ads

I want to feel the way your father felt, was it easy for belief?
          D
I want to know if there's a higher love he saw that I can't see

 Looking back, it's obvious now
      Em
You believe him or you don't

 Em | Em | D | D : (2x)

       D                  G                           A
So you load up your pistol and you press it to your lips
        D                      G               A
And you squeeze on the trigger, all it does is clicks
