Chords with lyrics

Capo on 3

    C majorC         A minorAm
Twice a week I pass by the church that held your funeral
    G+G          FF         C majorC
and the pastor?s words come pouring down like rain.
    C majorC              A minorAm
How he called you a sinner but said now you walk with Jesus,
    G+G          FF         C majorC
so the drugs that took your life aren?t gonna cause you any pain.

G+G        FF       C majorC
I don?t think he even knew your name.
G+G      FF       C majorC    G+G      FF
I refused to kneel or pray. I won?t remember you that way
        C majorC        G+G        FF
but I lit you a candle in every cathedral across Europe.
 G+G          FF        C majorC
I hope you know you?re still my patron saint.

 C majorC    A minorAm         G+G     FF
I tried to forgive but I can?t forget the cigar in his fist.
 G+G          FF        C majorC
I know that they were heartsick but I need someone to blame
          G+G     FF        C majorC
and I know how they blame me. I know what you?d say.
   G+G       FF          C majorC     G+G    FF
You?d tell me it was your fault. I should put all my arrows away.

            C majorC     G+G
I?m sure there ain?t a heaven,
          A minorAm       G+G      FF
but that don?t mean I don?t like to picture you there.
 G+G         FF       C majorC
I bet you?re bumming cigarettes off saints.
        C majorC       G+G
I?m sure you?re still singing
             A minorAm      G+G     FF
but I?ll bet that you?re still just a bit out of key.
     G+G           FF         C majorC
With that crooked smile pushing words across your teeth.

     A minorAm      G+G
You were heat lightning.
      C majorC     G+G      FF
You were a storm that never rolled in.
       A minorAm          G+G        C majorC        FF
You were the northern lights in a southern town, a caustic fleeting thing.
        A minorAm        G+G
I?ll bury your memories in the garden;
        C majorC       G+G       FF
I?ll watch them grow with the flowers in the spring.
          C majorC
I?ll keep you with me.

C majorC FF C majorC FF

C majorC
These wolves in their suits and ties
FF
saying ?kid you can trust me.?
C majorC
Charming southern drawl, sunken eyes.
FF
Buying good will in hotel lobbies.
C majorC                         FF
They got fistfuls of pills to make sure you don?t hurt no more.

You don?t gotta feel anything.
C majorC
Got their fangs in our veins.
            FF
Got their voice in our heads.

Got our arms in their grips.

No, we can?t shake free.
C majorC                 FF
This god damn machine; hungry and heartless.
                  C majorC
My whole generation got lost in the margin.
                   FF
We put our faith in you. You turned a profit.
                  C majorC     FF
Now we?re drowning here under your waves.
             C majorC     FF
Drowning held under your waves.

Drowning here. Drowning here.
C majorC                      FF
You can?t have my friends. You can?t have my brothers.
                       C majorC
You can?t have my friends. You can?t have my brothers.
                       FF
You can?t have my friends. You can?t have my brothers.
                     C majorC
You can?t have me. No, you can?t have me.
