[Verse 1]
GBehind Emevery great love Dstory lies a Ggreat suicide
You can't Emgive yourself Dcompletely and Ckeep the man Ginside
CAll the Dsentences I Amclimbed halfway
saw the Cheights of Dwhat I Amwanted to say
and Ccrawled from Dword to Amword
Dtrying to get back down
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Gthe unEmending Drealization that it's Gnever gonna end
I spend Emhalf the day Dexhaling and the Cother half holding my Gbreath
Cause Cliving underDwater was Amnever my strength
In the Cdepths you Dreside, the Amsun never sinks
So let’s Cfloat to the Dbottom for Amone final drink
There’s Dtime for one more tonight
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
it’s Emtime to Dforget while the forgetting’s Ggood
I’ll Emburn all the Dpromises I carved out of your Cwoulds G
you Csaid won't you Dcome inAmto arm's reach
abCandon your Dclothes and Ammodes of speech
an Cinfant Dreborn Amyou shall be
Chelpless and afGraid
[Bridge]

[Verse 4]
I’m Emwaving goodbye every Dtime you go to the Gstore
I Emhope you break your Dhand the next time you slam the Cdoor G
Because CI burned my Dfingers Amevery night
When your Cown shaking Dhands wouldn’t Amgive you a light
And I Csaid “Jesus DChrist, my Amparents were right
I Cnever should’ve smoked you Gout”

[Verse 5]
EmI’d hate to ampuDtate this artificial Glimb
But Emstaring at you, my Dglass eyes are growinCg dimG
I Ccan’t even Dblame you for Amlooking so smug
I Chave to Dadmit you’re a Amhell of a drug
So Cpack up the Dboxes, roll me Amup with the rug

so Cat the Dedge of the Ambed we'll meet
and I Cwant you to Dfuck me Amin your sleep
C G (played on bass)
it's the only way I'll know
Gthat you love me
GCause there's always gotta be a new angle
EmGuns are loaded witDh silver bullets toniGght
But it’s Emuseless, you kept meD waiting until it was liCghtG
CBut you can’t go Dout the Amway you came in
In the Carms of somDeone unaAmware of your sins
Because CI’ve been reDcording this Amwhole fucking thing
Now you can Dnever use the same chord changes agGain
[Bridge]
G Am
GThEme first time was too fast
GThAe second time was just sad
C G
[Verse 7]
If you’re Emwondering why I’m still Dwilling to take the Gfall
If I’m Emnot getting fucked over, I’m Dnot getting fucked at CalC/Bl G
But CI never Dasked for Amimmunity
That’s the Cdifference Dbetween Amyou and me
All I Cwanted was Dsomeone who was Amjust like me
And I Chate myself for that
[Instrumental]
G G Am C
[Verse 8]
It’s Emgetting hard to Dtalk about the Gpast
When you’ve Emcopyrighted the Dpresent, no questions CaskedG
You can Cdo whatDever you Amwant with my name
But my Cbody’s Dnever been Ampublic domain
So if Cyou’re looking Dfor someAmbody to blame
Blame CWalt Disney Studios

[Verse 9]
I Emremember, I was walking around outDside, talking to you on the Gphone
We were Emboth avoiding the Dparties we attended aClone G
And CI looked Dup at the Amdrunken moon
It was Cround and it was Dgrey and it Amlooked like the moon
And I Csaid “at Dleast we’ve Amboth got the moon”
And Cyou said “I’m insiGde”
[Chorus]
so CI’ll try Bmloving Amagain
and Cyou’ll try Bmliving Amalone
and Cwe’ll meet at the Bmend of this Amlifetime
and comDpare Gnotes

G D Am
GI hate your receptionist
DShe looks at me like I’m retarded
AmWhen I’m filling out your forms
GI see your form behind the frosted glass
DBut she says that you’re not there
AmI’ll have to be content to wait
GIf you felt some kind of stirring
DAgainst interpretation
AmWhy write these songs at all?
GWhy not become didactic
DTell everyone on the planet
AmIn plain English what you are
But CI am the gentle canniDbal
I Empromise to eat you Dsoftly
AmYou won’t Dnotice a Emthing D

G D Mariamme
AmYou're taking advice from Lady Macbeth
G WilliDam, one shot, two shots
AmWhen it’s out of your hands, you try to forget
G MariDamme, hold me tight
I still Amwish you hadn't listened to me, I ain’t been right since the execution
G WilliDam, one shot two shots
WhoAmever you are, just hold me tight, I lost my love, my life, that -
GAll I know is, Done of us was supposed to kill the Amother
GIsn’t that what they Dmean when they say ‘Amlovers’?
But Gmurder is Ddirty, and Ampeace comes cheap
GSo here’s my new nDumber, tell me when you’re Amfree
