[Verse 1]
F (FM7) E A#
Nothing feels the same since you got home
F (FM7) E A#
Someone swapped the pictures on your wall
F (FM7) E A#
Photos of evaporated men
F (FM7) E A#
Torn up bodies thrown across the sand
C A# (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your arm
[Verse 2]
F (FM7) E A#
She's been really great since I got back
F (FM7) E A#
I'm afraid she knows I'm off the map
F (FM7) E A#
She's been trying to talk inside my mouth
F (FM7) E A#
I've been trying to calm my conscious down
C A# (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your spine
F A#
N.C.
[Chorus]
Dm C A# F
When I dream I see your dad holding your throat
Dm C A# F
His mouth up to your ear, he's screaming, "I've been shot"
A# C Dm F A# C Dm C
You bank on a linear life evolved by your command
A# C Dm F A# C
You'll find the painful prize of watching it unhinge
[Verse 3]
F (FM7) E A#
You, you took it harder than our friends
F (FM7) E A#
I'm afraid you're spiraling again
F (FM7) E A#
Ran into your family at the go
F (FM7) E A#
Looked like they'd been living with a ghost
C A# (riff*)
There's nothing worse than a poverty line
[Verse 4]
F (FM7) E A#
I can hardly look at her that way
F (FM7) E A#
Naked bodies haven't looked the same
F (FM7) E A#
I can't tell her why she's gotta stop
F (FM7) E A#
Too ashamed to open that one knock
C A# (riff*)
There's nothing worse than being intertwined
F A#
N.C.
[Chorus]
Dm C A# F
You've been dreaming I'm the dad you never had
Dm C A# F
Having out of body visions of my death
A# C Dm F A# C Dm C
Bank on a catered life that bends for your demands
A# C Dm F A# C
Expect the painful prize of watching it unhinge
[Verse 5]
F (FM7) E A#
I remember back when we were kids
F (FM7) E A#
Life without a paralyzing mid
F (FM7) E A#
Now we get together in a glass
F (FM7) E A#
Hardly speak to watch the silence pass
C A# (riff*)
There's nothing worse than silent alarm
[Verse 6]
F (FM7) E A#
We were trying awkwardly to sleep
F (FM7) E A#
Detailed out your plan on my machine
F (FM7) E A#
They still astounded in the dark
F (FM7) E A#
Shocked that it had finally fallen apart
C A# (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your mind
F A#
N.C.
[Chorus]
Dm C A# F
I've been dreaming of this unrelenting love
Dm C A# F
Depreciated gasping towards a new unknown
A# C Dm F A# C Dm C
It was a trusted ride before the water froze
A# C Dm F A# C
I found the painful prize is rowing it alone
[Verse 7]
F (FM7) E A#
Drove out to the desert in your van
F (FM7) E A#
Drank some gasoline and made love to your hand
F (FM7) E A#
Cursed your God below for what he'd done
F (FM7) E A#
Before you sucked a bullet from your father's gun
C A# (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your life
[Verse 8]
F (FM7) E A#
At your funeral she took my hand
F (FM7) E A#
Placed it on the baby in your lap
F (FM7) E A#
I've been trying my best to find my peace
F (FM7) E A#
But they both look like criminals to me
C A# (riff*)
There's nothing worse than trusting a lie
[Bridge]
Dm C A# F
When I dream I see your body inside hers
Dm C A# F
When I wake I see your face but call it off
A# C Dm F A# C Dm C
The less you care for it, the less it has to grow
A# C Dm F A# C F
I can't abandon it and watch it turn to smoke
[Outro]
F (FM7) E A#
Recently I'm working on myself
F (FM7) E A#
Starting to convince myself it helps
C A# (riff*)
There's nothing wrong with being alive
