Verse 1
Em                                            Bm
   There's something here in the water
G                                D
  Hear all the kooks outside
 Em                           Bm                        G                      D
The end of the line forgotten folk screaming out on a desperate night
Em                                                   Bm
    There's something dark about this hotel
G                       D
  It just don't feel right
 Em               Bm
It's got a history that I read about
 G                          D
Left my stomach in a knot all night

Verse 2
Em                                        Bm
    I caught a glimpse of the sadness
 G                                D
So shocked it was my resting face
 Em                                     Bm
I know it was I who pulled the trigger
 G                         D
But I'm confused and out of place
Em                                     Bm
    It's so weird that we're strangers
G                               D
   When you were all I had
 Em                  Bm                         G               D
I've been trying to fill this void in me since I was a young lad.


Chorus
 Em    Bm                  G    D
It's gonna take      a really long time.
 Em      Bm
To forgive all of my failures
 G         D
And fill up all these empty spaces

Verse 3
Em                                 Bm
    I had a call with my mother
 G                       D
I've barely called her at all
 Em                                     Bm
I can hear all the beeps of the machinery
 G                        D
Nurses chattering on the ward
Em                                  Bm
   I've got a stutter and a shaky hand
 G                   D
And a fat lump in my throat
 Em                               Bm
But I was taught real good how to push it down
 G                             D
So far down it's like a stomach bug

Verse 4
Em                         Bm           G                          D
    My friend sent a video of his five-year-old girl in bits
Em                        Bm                            G                  D
Terrified she'd be alone someday, and I just fell to pieces
 Em                            Bm
He keeps kicking the can of mortality down the line
 G                                   D
There's a reason why Heaven was made up
 Em               Bm
She'll worry her little heart out
 G           D
Just like the rest of us.


Chorus
 Em    Bm                 G     D
It's gonna take      a really long time.
 Em       Bm
To forgive all of my failures.
 G         D
And fill up all these empty spaces
 Em    Bm                G     D                             Em       Bm
It'll take     a really long time.   to forgive all of my failures.
 G         D      Em Bm G D
And fill up all these empty spaces
 Em    Bm G       D   Em      Bm G  D   Em  Bm G  D
Hmm,           hmm,        hmm
