[Verse 1]
Cmaj7I had a brother once
He G6drowned in a bathtub
Fmaj7b5
Before he'd ever learned
Gsus2How
To Cmaj7talk
And I don't G6know what his name was
Fmaj7b5
But my mother does
EI heard her say it once
Cmaj7Padraic my prince, I have all but died
From the sG6heer weight of my shame
Fmaj7b5
You cried but no one came
And the Ewater filled your tiny lungs
Cmaj7Appear, my dear, and cry for me
Six G6years ago today
Fmaj7b5
That I laid you in your grave
Your Esweet young skin was shining then too
[Chorus]
AmSo tonight to celebrate I Fwill...
I will Gpoison myself
AmAnother coughing, shaking fit in a bathroom
FThat is Gspinning
And I Cclose the Gdoor
And I Amrest my head on the Ftile floor
CSickness and Gsleep turning me Amcold
CI'm still not Gsure
Is there some Ambetter place I could be Fheading towards?
CWhere the selfishly Gsick and self-Amabsorbed...
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7 G6 Fmaj7b5 E
Are welcome
Cmaj7I saw the future once
I was G6drunk in a phone booth
Fmaj7b5
My eyes were wet and red
But I could Gsus2not tell what
Was Cmaj7said
And through the G6screams of the traffic
Fmaj7b5
Voices carried
ESaying I'm sorry
Cmaj7On a day so gray it's black inside
Watching G6churches on TV
Fmaj7b5
In a coma you don't dream
You just Ehope that someone sits with you
Cmaj7Babies turn blue when they're ignored
Like the G6sky on summer days
Fmaj7b5
Before you turn and walk away
EIt has changed you
[Chorus]
AmSo tonight to compensate I Fwill...
I will Gpoison myself
AmAnother coughing, shaking fit in a bathFroom
That is Gspinning
Am E
Am E
Am E
