Verse 1:

E MajorE D/F#D/F#           F#m/D     Asus2Asus2
Though they may want you to tread in their trail
E MajorE D/F#D/F#       F#m/D    Asus2Asus2
Only to see if the path they set fails
E MajorE D/F#D/F#          F#m/D      Asus2Asus2
Though they may want you to take off your clothes
E MajorE D/F#D/F#            F#m/D   Asus2Asus2
Whatever they think that the action exposed
F#m/D   F#m/C    F#dim/C Asus2Asus2
With your clothes on the floor
F#m/D  F#m/C     F#dim/C  Asus2Asus2
Taking advice from some old balding bore
F#m/D     F#m/C   F#dim/C    Asus2Asus2
You'll ask yourself, "Did I want this at all?"

Chorus:

G7sus4G7sus4         A7A7 Am7Am7 Em/GEm/G
Do you remember what I said?
G7sus4G7sus4      A7A7   Am7Am7 Em/GEm/G
The book I left by your bed
G7sus4G7sus4     A7A7   Am7Am7  A/C#A/C#
The words that some survivor read

Verse 2:

E MajorE D/F#D/F#               F#m/D      Asus2Asus2
Lately I've been thinking about our daughter growing old
E MajorE D/F#D/F#          F#m/D    Asus2Asus2
All of the bullshit that she might be told
F#m/D  F#m/C    F#dim/C Asus2Asus2
There's blood on the floor
F#m/D F#m/C   F#dim/C     Asus2Asus2
Maybe now you'll believe her for sure

Chorus:

G7sus4G7sus4        A7A7 Am7Am7 Em/GEm/G
She remembers what I said
G7sus4G7sus4     A7A7   Am7Am7 Em/GEm/G
The book I left by her bed
G7sus4G7sus4     A7A7   Am7Am7  A/C#A/C#
The words that some survivor read

Verse 3:

E MajorE D/F#D/F#            F#m/D    Asus2Asus2
Though they may take you for all you had left
E MajorE D/F#D/F#           F#m/D         Asus2Asus2
You won't be forgotten for what you had not done yet
A/C#A/C#        C/EC/E    Bm/D
So you wished for a kiss from God
A/C#A/C#        C/EC/E   Bm/D
You mourned in your childish loss
A/C#A/C#          C/EC/E  Bm/D
Innocence gone but it's not forgot
C6C6               E MajorE D/F#D/F#
You'll cut your way through it somehow

Chorus:

G7sus4G7sus4       A7A7 Am7Am7 Em/GEm/G
You remember what I said
G7sus4G7sus4      A7A7   Am7Am7 Em/GEm/G
The book you left by your bed
G7sus4G7sus4     A7A7   Am7Am7   A/C#A/C#
The words that will outlive the dead
