[Verse 1]
A#m Fm D#
Joseph was talking, grooming a rumor
A#m Fm D#
He said, "Somebody drowned the other day"
A#m Fm D# A#m
That somebody was me, but I never drowned
Fm D#
I just simply slipped away
[synths]
A#m Fm D#
A#m Fm D#
(I just simply slipped away)
A#m C# G#
So if you need me, I’m sorry
A#m C# G#
'Cause I’m not around anymore
A#m F# G#
I’ll never tell you what I’m thinking
A#m C# D#
You don’t deserve to kno-w
[Chorus]
Fm C#
You came through stumbling hard, I knew
G# A#m A#m C# D#
Mumbling words untrue, only to undo
Fm C#
All the good I had achieved, you would
G# A# C# D#
Stampede all over it, because you could
[Verse 2]
A#m Fm D#
Joseph had captured a bird without wings
A#m Fm D#
Writing in gold, making shapes in the fire
A#m Fm D#
His anger met silence, a death in the woods
A#m Fm D#
My freedom was mine again, mine again, all mine
[Pre-Chorus]
A#m C# G#
You won’t find me crying
A#m C# G#
So don’t you feel sorry for me
A#m F# G#
All that I have is in my head
A#m C# D#
And all that you took you can ha-ve
[Chorus]
Fm C#
You came through stumbling hard, I knew
G# A#m A#m C# D#
Mumbling words untrue, only to undo
Fm C#
All the good I had achieved, you would
G# A# C# D#
Stampede all over it, because you could
Fm C#
You came through stumbling hard, I knew
G# A#m A#m C# D#
Mumbling words untrue, only to undo
Fm C#
All the good I had achieved, you would
G# A# C# D#
Stampede all over it, because you could
[Bridge]
(synths, same pattern as chorus)
Fm C#
G# A#m A#m C# D#
Fm C#
G# A# C# D#
[Outro]
Fm C# A#m
You don't heal me like you used to
Fm C# G#
You don't heal me no more
Fm C# A#m
I don't need you like I used to
Fm C# G#
You can't cure me like before
