Intro
[E] [Amaj7] [B] [F#m]
Verse 1
[E]
With woven hands, we walk barefoot, we're crossing streams
[Amaj7]
From carpet bomb airplanes, we will drop anything
[B] [F#m]
That seems to heavy for us to hold on our tongues
[E]
And a rabbit's foot around your neck, well good luck to you
[Amaj7]
I Will stay put, like a weed, I have grown into
[B] [F#m]
Something that's ugly parts are not always discreet
[B] [F#m]
That which eats the sweetest honey from pollen-soaked bees
Verse 2
[E]
And I am my shadow; a lesser part of myself
[Amaj7]
Much like a slug is just a snail without a shell
[B] [F#m]
Hover above you and slip my fingers in your mouth
[E]
And if you listen carefully, you'll be rewarded with
[Amaj7]
My tongue in an urn, which strips your longing to live
[B] [F#m]
Hover above you and slip my fingers in your mouth
[B] [F#m]
I am the chisel the carves out the name on your grave
[B] [F#m]
I am the chisel that carves the wrinkles in your face
Verse 3
[E]
I have no faith in God, cause I've no fucking faith in myself
[Amaj7] [E]
We are stale holy wafers set aside to collect dust on the shelf
[Amaj7] [E]
And the mountains look better without any flags at their peaks
[Amaj7] [E]
And what more can be said when your tongue is torn out from your teeth
[Amaj7] [E]
And I try to hold it together but I am so afraid to die
[Amaj7] [E]
But I don't want to live forever, eternity is just too long a time
[Amaj7] [E]
I try to hold it together but I am so afraid to die
[Amaj7] [E]
But I don't want to live forever, eternity is just too long a time
[Amaj7] [E]
[Amaj7] [E]
[Amaj7] [E]
[Amaj7] [E]
[Amaj7] [E]
And I'm sorry, I need you know that I'm sorry
[Amaj7] [E]
I want you to know that I'm sorry
[Amaj7] [E]
I need you to know that I love you, no matter how difficult things are
[Amaj7] [E]
I still hold you close in the dark
[Amaj7] [E]
[Amaj7] [E]
[Amaj7] [E]
[Amaj7] [E]
[Long break]
[Em] [C] [G] [Gmaj7]
[Em] [C] [G] [Gmaj7]
Verse 4
[Em] [C]
And you share way too much in common with the one
[G] [Gmaj7] [Em]
That Saint Michael cast below the cloudy floor
[C] [G] [Gmaj7]
Tell me you love me and get down upon your knees and pray that whatever god exists forgives me
[Em] [C] [G] [Gmaj7] [Em]
The mother pine; it sat erect above my head, you loathe the living but you dearly miss the dead
[C]
And on your bed; we're planting seeds upon your chest
[G] [Gmaj7] [Em]
As I try and imagine what you look like undressed
Refrain
[G]
[Em] [G]
And the lord takes just as much as he makes
[Em] [G]
Yeah, the lord takes just as much as he makes
Verse 5
[Em] [C] [G] [Gmaj7]
Watch a video of you learning to walk, I see your face in Rorschach blots, everywhere
[Em] [C] [G] [Gmaj7]
And now they're saying that I'll pay for what I did, but I was just a stupid kid and nothing more
[Em] [C] [G] [Gmaj7]
[Em] [C] [G] [Gmaj7]
Verse 6
[Em] [C] [G] [Gmaj7]
Xanax is a pill much easier to swallow than admitting to the world that you were wrong
[Em] [C] [G] [Gmaj7]
And it's harder to be sorry for the things you've done than it is to write another pathetic song
[Em] [C] [G] [Gmaj7]
Closed-casket funeral, cause not a single one of us could bear to see you with a hole inside your head
[Em] [C] [G] [Gmaj7] [Em]
And I tried my best to loosen up your noose but I think that I just tightened it instead
Refrain
[G]
[Em] [G]
And the lord takes just as much as he makes
[Em] [G]
Yeah, the lord takes just as much as he makes
