Verse 1:
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 CM
God boy gets up and he talks to his friends in the mirror
CM
And he sees my mouth moving where his should be
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
Telling him he is too big for his body
CM C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
That he's got the antidote America needs
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 CM
And so I'm talking about drugs and their adverse effects
CM
Like people do when they've lost a friend
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
But I think it was me and not the drugs in the end
CM
'Cause God knows I have lost myself a veritable few of them
Chorus 1:
CM Cadd9 C E7
Don't let me give you my light it will blind you
CM Cadd9 C E7
I'll love you and leave you there searching to find you
C Cmaj7 C E7 F
Ain't that what they say at the meetings for those in my wake
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
Well I thought I was Eve but I guess I'm the snake
Verse 2:
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
My sister is dead and it's due to my negligence
CM
I buried her good on a New England beach
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
And I'll love her forever but how could she know
CM
When I look in her grave and her cold fingers reach up and
C Cmaj7 C F
Rachel, I'm sorry for calling you by the wrong name
It was just a suggestion but now
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
It's a small fundamentalist cult-style religion
CM
From which you're relieved when you take things away from me
Chorus 2:
CM Cadd9 C E7
Babe, full disclosure I'm siding with you
CM Cadd9 C E7
When you said that I left you for dead it was true
C Cmaj7 C E7 F
So allow me to host the last meeting for those in my wake
Welcome to Eden folks
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
I'll be your snake
