[Verse 1]
Cm Gm F
Joseph was talking, grooming a rumor
Cm Gm F
He said, "Somebody drowned the other day"
Cm Gm F Cm
That somebody was me, but I never drowned

I just simply slipped away
[synths]

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

[Outro]
Gm D# Cm
You don't heal me like you used to
Gm D# A#
You don't heal me no more
Gm D# Cm
I don't need you like I used to
Gm D# A#
You can't cure me like before
