[Intro]
Em x4 G X2 B7 x2 Em x4 G x2 A x2
[Verse 1]
Em G B7
There was a wanderer who found his way to God
Em G A
Or maybe it was Lucifer under some false facade
Em
Broken down and tattered
G B7
Compound fractures in his sleeves
Em
Shoe soles nailed together
G A
But he never seemed to bleed
[Refrain]
Em G
With one desperate push
B7 Em
His poor diaphragm forced out a plea
Em x4 G X2 B7 x2 Em x4 G x2 A x2
[Verse 2]
A Em G B7
He said: One home burned down, one fell apart
Em G B7
One met a flood, and one was nothing from the start
Em G B7
Weapons build against me, well they all seem to fail
Em
But weapons built against my home
G Am
They always will prevail
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G B7 Em
So leave me my liver and leave me my skin
Em G B7 Am
Leave me the way all those other homes did
Em G B7 Em
But leave me a soul, only by definition
Em G CM7
I don't want to feel anything
[Chorus]
Em D G C
My neurons are snapping like cat gut strings
Em D G7 C
A symphony of agony
Em D
I don't wanna hear and I don't wanna sing
G C
I don't wanna breathe incompletely
Em D
I am mourning
G C
I am morning
Em
So break me anew
Em D G B7 Em
Em x4 G X2 B7 x2 Em x4 G x2 A x2
[Verse 3]
Asus4 Em
Well, I'll find every sick fuck I can
G B7
And I'll make them a deal
Em
With no conscience, I'll make money and
G Am
I'll lie and cheat and steal
Em
And that money won't bring happiness
G B7
But let me ask what does
Em
'Cause I've found a place, and those sick fucks
G Am
Well, they turned it to dust
[Refrain]
Em G
And if I can't have justice
B Em
I might as well join the unjust
Em x4 G X2 B7 x2 Em x4 G x2 A x2
[Verse 4]
Em7
The floorboards smelled like lemonade
G B7
Prepared for our arrival
Em
The air was clean and crisp
G7 Am
Just like a tonic for survival
Em
Well, I wrote my name in charcoal
G B7
On the bathhouse where we cried
Em7
So now I'm broken fundamentally
G Am7
And nobody gets why
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G B7 Em
So give me what drugs you got, give me your meds
Em G B7 Em
Give me a cocktail to sedate my head
G B7 Em
Abandon all hope of my moral salvation
G Am B7
They already took that from me
[Chorus]
Em D G C
The sky was an angel of morning's heat
Em D G C
With languid, shiny curls of aquamarine
Em D
And when I close my eyes and when I dare to dream
G C
When I think I might shatter completely
Em D
I can feel them in my hands
C
But I can't go back again
Em D G C
My neurons are snapping like cat gut strings
Em D G C
A symphony of agony
Em D
I don't wanna hear and I don't wanna sing
G C
I don't wanna breathe incompletely
Em D
I am mourning
G C
I am morning
Em
So break me anew
Em D G B7 Em
Em x4 G X2 B7 x2 Em x4 G x2 A x2
[Outro]
Em G B
Turns out that the god he found was just a little girl
Em
Sitting on a swingset
G A
Just a little girl
Em
She said "Mister, you look tired
G B
I will let you go, but first
Em
I think that what you're asking for
G Bm Em
It just might make things worse"
