[Verse 1]
E (EM7) E A
Nothing feels the same since you got home
E (EM7) E A
Someone swapped the pictures on your wall
E (EM7) E A
Photos of evaporated men
E (EM7) E A
Torn up bodies thrown across the sand
B A (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your arm
[Verse 2]
E (EM7) E A
She's been really great since I got back
E (EM7) E A
I'm afraid she knows I'm off the map
E (EM7) E A
She's been trying to talk inside my mouth
E (EM7) E A
I've been trying to calm my conscious down
B A (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your spine
E A
N.C.
[Chorus]
C#m B A E
When I dream I see your dad holding your throat
C#m B A E
His mouth up to your ear, he's screaming, "I've been shot"
A B C#m E A B C#m B
You bank on a linear life evolved by your command
A B C#m E A B
You'll find the painful prize of watching it unhinge
[Verse 3]
E (EM7) E A
You, you took it harder than our friends
E (EM7) E A
I'm afraid you're spiraling again
E (EM7) E A
Ran into your family at the go
E (EM7) E A
Looked like they'd been living with a ghost
B A (riff*)
There's nothing worse than a poverty line
[Verse 4]
E (EM7) E A
I can hardly look at her that way
E (EM7) E A
Naked bodies haven't looked the same
E (EM7) E A
I can't tell her why she's gotta stop
E (EM7) E A
Too ashamed to open that one knock
B A (riff*)
There's nothing worse than being intertwined
E A
N.C.
[Chorus]
C#m B A E
You've been dreaming I'm the dad you never had
C#m B A E
Having out of body visions of my death
A B C#m E A B C#m B
Bank on a catered life that bends for your demands
A B C#m E A B
Expect the painful prize of watching it unhinge
[Verse 5]
E (EM7) E A
I remember back when we were kids
E (EM7) E A
Life without a paralyzing mid
E (EM7) E A
Now we get together in a glass
E (EM7) E A
Hardly speak to watch the silence pass
B A (riff*)
There's nothing worse than silent alarm
[Verse 6]
E (EM7) E A
We were trying awkwardly to sleep
E (EM7) E A
Detailed out your plan on my machine
E (EM7) E A
They still astounded in the dark
E (EM7) E A
Shocked that it had finally fallen apart
B A (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your mind
E A
N.C.
[Chorus]
C#m B A E
I've been dreaming of this unrelenting love
C#m B A E
Depreciated gasping towards a new unknown
A B C#m E A B C#m B
It was a trusted ride before the water froze
A B C#m E A B
I found the painful prize is rowing it alone
[Verse 7]
E (EM7) E A
Drove out to the desert in your van
E (EM7) E A
Drank some gasoline and made love to your hand
E (EM7) E A
Cursed your God below for what he'd done
E (EM7) E A
Before you sucked a bullet from your father's gun
B A (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your life
[Verse 8]
E (EM7) E A
At your funeral she took my hand
E (EM7) E A
Placed it on the baby in your lap
E (EM7) E A
I've been trying my best to find my peace
E (EM7) E A
But they both look like criminals to me
B A (riff*)
There's nothing worse than trusting a lie
[Bridge]
C#m B A E
When I dream I see your body inside hers
C#m B A E
When I wake I see your face but call it off
A B C#m E A B C#m B
The less you care for it, the less it has to grow
A B C#m E A B E
I can't abandon it and watch it turn to smoke
[Outro]
E (EM7) E A
Recently I'm working on myself
E (EM7) E A
Starting to convince myself it helps
B A (riff*)
There's nothing wrong with being alive
