[Verse 1]
Dm Am G
Joseph was talking, grooming a rumor
Dm Am G
He said, "Somebody drowned the other day"
Dm Am G Dm
That somebody was me, but I never drowned
Am G
I just simply slipped away
[synths]
Dm Am G
Dm Am G
(I just simply slipped away)
Dm F C
So if you need me, I’m sorry
Dm F C
'Cause I’m not around anymore
Dm A# C
I’ll never tell you what I’m thinking
Dm F G
You don’t deserve to kno-w
[Chorus]
Am F
You came through stumbling hard, I knew
C Dm Dm F G
Mumbling words untrue, only to undo
Am F
All the good I had achieved, you would
C D F G
Stampede all over it, because you could
[Verse 2]
Dm Am G
Joseph had captured a bird without wings
Dm Am G
Writing in gold, making shapes in the fire
Dm Am G
His anger met silence, a death in the woods
Dm Am G
My freedom was mine again, mine again, all mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm F C
You won’t find me crying
Dm F C
So don’t you feel sorry for me
Dm A# C
All that I have is in my head
Dm F G
And all that you took you can ha-ve
[Chorus]
Am F
You came through stumbling hard, I knew
C Dm Dm F G
Mumbling words untrue, only to undo
Am F
All the good I had achieved, you would
C D F G
Stampede all over it, because you could
Am F
You came through stumbling hard, I knew
C Dm Dm F G
Mumbling words untrue, only to undo
Am F
All the good I had achieved, you would
C D F G
Stampede all over it, because you could
[Bridge]

[Outro]
Am F Dm
You don't heal me like you used to
Am F C
You don't heal me no more
Am F Dm
I don't need you like I used to
Am F C
You can't cure me like before
