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

A B D E
[Outro]
F#m D Bm
You don't heal me like you used to
F#m D A
You don't heal me no more
F#m D Bm
I don't need you like I used to
F#m D A
You can't cure me like before
