Intro: Am, C (x2)
Am
Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face
The kind you'd find on someone that could save
C
If they don't put me away
It'll be a miracle
Am
Do you believe you're missing out?
That everything good is happening somewhere else
C
But with nobody in your bed
The night is hard to get through
Am C
And I will die all alone
Am C
And when I arrive I won't know anyone
Am
Well, Jesus Christ, I'm alone again
So what did you do those three days you were dead?
C
Because this problem's gonna last
More than the weekend
Am
Well, Jesus Christ I'm not scared to die
I'm a little bit scared of what comes after
C
Do I get the gold chariot
Do I float through the ceiling
Am C
Do I divide and fall apart
Am C
Cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark
Am C
This ship went down in sight of land
Am C
And at the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands?
Am, C (4x)
F
I know you'll come in the night like a thief
Am
But I've had some time alone to hone my lying technique
F
I know you think that I'm someone you can trust
Am
But I'm scared I'll get scared and I swear I'll try to nail you back up
F
So do you think that we could work out a sign
Am
So I'll know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try
F
I know you'll come for the people like me
Am
But we all got wood and nails,
G F
Turned into a hate factory
Am
But, we all got wood and nails
G F
Turned into a hate factory
Am
we all got wood and nails
G F
Turned into a hate factory
Am
Yeah, we all got wood and nails
G F
And we sleep inside of this machine
Outro - Am, C (4x)
