[Verse 1]
F# (F#M7) E B
Nothing feels the same since you got home
F# (F#M7) E B
Someone swapped the pictures on your wall
F# (F#M7) E B
Photos of evaporated men
F# (F#M7) E B
Torn up bodies thrown across the sand
C# B (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your arm
[Verse 2]
F# (F#M7) E B
She's been really great since I got back
F# (F#M7) E B
I'm afraid she knows I'm off the map
F# (F#M7) E B
She's been trying to talk inside my mouth
F# (F#M7) E B
I've been trying to calm my conscious down
C# B (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your spine
F# B
N.C.
[Chorus]
D#m C# B F#
When I dream I see your dad holding your throat
D#m C# B F#
His mouth up to your ear, he's screaming, "I've been shot"
B C# D#m F# B C# D#m C#
You bank on a linear life evolved by your command
B C# D#m F# B C#
You'll find the painful prize of watching it unhinge
[Verse 3]
F# (F#M7) E B
You, you took it harder than our friends
F# (F#M7) E B
I'm afraid you're spiraling again
F# (F#M7) E B
Ran into your family at the go
F# (F#M7) E B
Looked like they'd been living with a ghost
C# B (riff*)
There's nothing worse than a poverty line
[Verse 4]
F# (F#M7) E B
I can hardly look at her that way
F# (F#M7) E B
Naked bodies haven't looked the same
F# (F#M7) E B
I can't tell her why she's gotta stop
F# (F#M7) E B
Too ashamed to open that one knock
C# B (riff*)
There's nothing worse than being intertwined
F# B
N.C.
[Chorus]
D#m C# B F#
You've been dreaming I'm the dad you never had
D#m C# B F#
Having out of body visions of my death
B C# D#m F# B C# D#m C#
Bank on a catered life that bends for your demands
B C# D#m F# B C#
Expect the painful prize of watching it unhinge
[Verse 5]
F# (F#M7) E B
I remember back when we were kids
F# (F#M7) E B
Life without a paralyzing mid
F# (F#M7) E B
Now we get together in a glass
F# (F#M7) E B
Hardly speak to watch the silence pass
C# B (riff*)
There's nothing worse than silent alarm
[Verse 6]
F# (F#M7) E B
We were trying awkwardly to sleep
F# (F#M7) E B
Detailed out your plan on my machine
F# (F#M7) E B
They still astounded in the dark
F# (F#M7) E B
Shocked that it had finally fallen apart
C# B (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your mind
F# B
N.C.
[Chorus]
D#m C# B F#
I've been dreaming of this unrelenting love
D#m C# B F#
Depreciated gasping towards a new unknown
B C# D#m F# B C# D#m C#
It was a trusted ride before the water froze
B C# D#m F# B C#
I found the painful prize is rowing it alone
[Verse 7]
F# (F#M7) E B
Drove out to the desert in your van
F# (F#M7) E B
Drank some gasoline and made love to your hand
F# (F#M7) E B
Cursed your God below for what he'd done
F# (F#M7) E B
Before you sucked a bullet from your father's gun
C# B (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your life
[Verse 8]
F# (F#M7) E B
At your funeral she took my hand
F# (F#M7) E B
Placed it on the baby in your lap
F# (F#M7) E B
I've been trying my best to find my peace
F# (F#M7) E B
But they both look like criminals to me
C# B (riff*)
There's nothing worse than trusting a lie
[Bridge]
D#m C# B F#
When I dream I see your body inside hers
D#m C# B F#
When I wake I see your face but call it off
B C# D#m F# B C# D#m C#
The less you care for it, the less it has to grow
B C# D#m F# B C# F#
I can't abandon it and watch it turn to smoke
[Outro]
F# (F#M7) E B
Recently I'm working on myself
F# (F#M7) E B
Starting to convince myself it helps
C# B (riff*)
There's nothing wrong with being alive
