[Verse 1]
D#m A#m
Don't you know how hard this has to be?
C# G#
Just because I'm growing old don't mean I wasn't seen.
D#m A#m
2,040 days ago, just a horny dream,
C# G#
when your cousin died you told me of the dangling angels feet.
[Pre-Chorus]
F# C# F# C# G#
And mom and all the things you said and all the plans you made
F# C# F# C# G# G#
gonna be okay and you're the one to blame.
[Chorus]
D#m A#m D#m A#m
And at the dark goodbye where were signs of life
D#m A#m D#m A#m
like an empty wife with bedroom eyes.
[Verse 2]
D#m A#m
It must have been an exception to the alpha great I am
C# G#
'cause in the laundry room I saw my father's head down in his hands.
D#m A#m
A# pool collecting drops that fell along his shimmered brow.
C# G#
He said: I said I'd never tell you, might as well just tell you now.
[Pre-Chorus]
F# C# F# C# G#
And he said: son, no matter what you do, how often it's done,
F# C# F# C# G# G#
I am the rock beneath that you see in the sun.
[Chorus]
D#m A#m D#m A#m
And at my dark divide are you on my side
D#m A#m D#m A#m A#m
like a tempted wife with an empty smile .
[Verse 3]
D#m A#m
And ask the great deceiver it never meant to follow fear,
C# G#
it is the moment that we meet, the king and finally find out
D#m A#m
what we're doing here. So, father do we go to heaven or to hell.
C# G#
Does fire and damnation start with an embryonic cell?
D#m A#m
A# rope that we can never throw in long enough to actually grab
G# A#m
and if that is the case then is my premature kid in the well?
[Ending]
F# C# F# C# G#
Just forever looking up, wondering if we can come up
F# C# F# C# G#
with another plan? To save the eternal daMN -
F#
nation's going to [Outro] hell
[Outro]
