[Intro 1]
[Am]
[F][Em][Am]
[F][Em][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Said,
"In [F]truth I don't really want to talk [Em]about it"
Christmas [Am]lights dangled sadly from
the table in the operating room
[F]Last I heard you're an addict abo[Em]ut it
Full of [Am]rage and Corona
Trying to blow the birthday
kid candles [F]out
Trap doors and [Em]the
retaliator lead [Am]out
To the field where our extended
families buried their lies
[F]If you're going,
bring some faith and a flash[Em]light
Follow [Am]signs that read
"It's twenty miles before
you finally see fire"
Now [F]there's something

[Verse 2]
to say
for the art of confu[Em]sion
I got the cour[Am]age to inquire where
your body traveled all of the time
[F]I gotta climb out of this elevator,[Em]
hadn't move [Am]me once yet
Do I expect that it should really start now?
[F]The waitress oversees you
levitat[Em]ing
Couldn't [Am]think it to words and watched
your body lift up into the sky
[F]Everyone there was just in awe abo[Em]ut it
Seen [Am]a miracle and drank away
the thought from our minds

[Verse 3]
There was [Am]you and [C]me
And [F]nothing in [Am]between
It's right and [C]wrong
Goes [F]on and on and on
[C][Dm][F]

[Verse 4]
This is the [C]wave that you could
never [F]conquer
Losing [C]the smallest piece
of truth we used [G]to [F]know
I wasn't pre[Am]pared to embark
with the wolf of the [F]mountain
It wasn't a [C]place that we
could call our own
[Am]

[Verse 5]
Now I [F]don't want to seem like
it's split at the seams
See the [Am]pain on the wall? See
the blood in the street?
There is noth[F]ing you've got
when you die that you keep
You were [Am]all that you were,
were you all you could be?

[Verse 6]
In the [F]blink of an eye there's
a hole in your belly
Your [Am]body recoils ironically
into the family planning aisle
[F]Overhear,
"I don't know where I'm going
I'm go[Am]ing anyway
Don't let 'em tell you

[Verse 7]
that I never found"
[Am]You [Em]and m[C]e and n[Am]oth
ing in between
It's right and [C]wrong,
goes [F]on and on [C]and on [Dm](how long you been looking for)
The truth [Am]for [C]me is [F]grasp
ing at the steam
[Am]So truthfully,
[C]do you [F]want to [C]die [Dm]for m[F]e?

[Verse 8]
This is the [C]wave that you could
[F]never conquer
Losing the [C]smallest piece of
truth we used [G]to [F]know
I wasn't pre[Am]pared to embark
with the wolf of [F]the mountain
It wasn't a [C]place that we could call

[Outro 1]
our own
[Am]
[C][F][Am]
[C][F][Am]
