Verse 1:

E D/F#                      F#m/D          Asus2
Though they may want you to tread in their trail
E D/F#             F#m/D        Asus2
Only to see if the path they set fails
E D/F#                   F#m/D           Asus2
Though they may want you to take off your clothes
E D/F#                       F#m/D     Asus2
Whatever they think that the action exposed
F#m/D     F#m/C        F#dim/C Asus2
With your clothes on the floor
F#m/D    F#m/C         F#dim/C    Asus2
Taking advice from some old balding bore
F#m/D          F#m/C      F#dim/C        Asus2
You'll ask yourself, "Did I want this at all?"

Chorus:

G7sus4                 A7 Am7 Em/G
Do you remember what I said?
G7sus4           A7      Am7 Em/G
The book I left by your bed
G7sus4          A7      Am7   A/C#
The words that some survivor read

Verse 2:

E D/F#                              F#m/D           Asus2
Lately I've been thinking about our daughter growing old
E D/F#                   F#m/D        Asus2
All of the bullshit that she might be told
F#m/D   F#m/C        F#dim/C Asus2
There's blood on the floor
F#m/D F#m/C      F#dim/C         Asus2
Maybe now you'll believe her for sure

Chorus:

G7sus4               A7 Am7 Em/G
She remembers what I said
G7sus4          A7     Am7 Em/G
The book I left by her bed
G7sus4         A7      Am7    A/C#
The words that some survivor read

Verse 3:

E D/F#                       F#m/D       Asus2
Though they may take you for all you had left
E D/F#                     F#m/D                 Asus2
You won't be forgotten for what you had not done yet
A/C#                C/E       Bm/D
So you wished for a kiss from God
A/C#                C/E      Bm/D
You mourned in your childish loss
A/C#                    C/E    Bm/D
Innocence gone but it's not forgot
C6                             E D/F#
You'll cut your way through it somehow

Chorus:

G7sus4              A7 Am7 Em/G
You remember what I said
G7sus4            A7      Am7 Em/G
The book you left by your bed
G7sus4         A7      Am7      A/C#
The words that will outlive the dead
