F#m7F#m7
They've managed to get rid of me
 Fmaj7Fmaj7
Returned me to the grave
C#m/E
ECT, electric chair
  B9/D#
We shock who we can't save

    D9D9
They've cleared you of my memory
  A9/C#
And many more as well
  Bm7Bm7
You may have wanted some of them
  C#7sus    C#7C#7
But who can ever tell

   G+G
Your brainwaves are more regular
The chemistry more pure
Bm/F#
The headaches and the nausea will pass
And you'll endure
   Bm7/F
Your son is gone forever though
           F# minorF#m
Of that the doctor's sure

  D9D9      A9/C#
The memories will wane
  D9D9      A9/C#
The aftershocks remain
  Bm7Bm7
You wonder which is worse
          F#m7F#m7
The symptom or the cure

They've managed to get rid of me
  Fmaj7Fmaj7
I'm gone without a trace
  C#m/E
But sear the soul and leave a scar
  B9/D#
No treatment can erase

    D9D9
They've cut away the cancer
    A9/C#
But forgot to fill the hole
   Bm7Bm7
They moved me from your memory
  C#7sus       C#7C#7
I'm still there in your soul

   G+G
Your life goes back to normal now
Or so they all believe
   Bm/F#
Your heart is in your chest again
Not hanging from your sleeve

    Bm7Bm7
They've driven out the demons
               F# minorF#m
And they've earned you this reprieve
  D9D9      A9/C#
The memories are gone
  D9D9        A9/C#
The aftershocks live on
     Bm7Bm7
But with nothing to remember
             F#m7F#m7
Is there nothing left to grieve?

Bm7Bm7
With nothing to remember
