[Verse 1]
D (DM7) E G
Nothing feels the same since you got home
D (DM7) E G
Someone swapped the pictures on your wall
D (DM7) E G
Photos of evaporated men
D (DM7) E G
Torn up bodies thrown across the sand
A G (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your arm
[Verse 2]
D (DM7) E G
She's been really great since I got back
D (DM7) E G
I'm afraid she knows I'm off the map
D (DM7) E G
She's been trying to talk inside my mouth
D (DM7) E G
I've been trying to calm my conscious down
A G (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your spine
D G
N.C.
[Chorus]
Bm A G D
When I dream I see your dad holding your throat
Bm A G D
His mouth up to your ear, he's screaming, "I've been shot"
G A Bm D G A Bm A
You bank on a linear life evolved by your command
G A Bm D G A
You'll find the painful prize of watching it unhinge
[Verse 3]
D (DM7) E G
You, you took it harder than our friends
D (DM7) E G
I'm afraid you're spiraling again
D (DM7) E G
Ran into your family at the go
D (DM7) E G
Looked like they'd been living with a ghost
A G (riff*)
There's nothing worse than a poverty line
[Verse 4]
D (DM7) E G
I can hardly look at her that way
D (DM7) E G
Naked bodies haven't looked the same
D (DM7) E G
I can't tell her why she's gotta stop
D (DM7) E G
Too ashamed to open that one knock
A G (riff*)
There's nothing worse than being intertwined
D G
N.C.
[Chorus]
Bm A G D
You've been dreaming I'm the dad you never had
Bm A G D
Having out of body visions of my death
G A Bm D G A Bm A
Bank on a catered life that bends for your demands
G A Bm D G A
Expect the painful prize of watching it unhinge
[Verse 5]
D (DM7) E G
I remember back when we were kids
D (DM7) E G
Life without a paralyzing mid
D (DM7) E G
Now we get together in a glass
D (DM7) E G
Hardly speak to watch the silence pass
A G (riff*)
There's nothing worse than silent alarm
[Verse 6]
D (DM7) E G
We were trying awkwardly to sleep
D (DM7) E G
Detailed out your plan on my machine
D (DM7) E G
They still astounded in the dark
D (DM7) E G
Shocked that it had finally fallen apart
A G (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your mind
D G
N.C.
[Chorus]
Bm A G D
I've been dreaming of this unrelenting love
Bm A G D
Depreciated gasping towards a new unknown
G A Bm D G A Bm A
It was a trusted ride before the water froze
G A Bm D G A
I found the painful prize is rowing it alone
[Verse 7]
D (DM7) E G
Drove out to the desert in your van
D (DM7) E G
Drank some gasoline and made love to your hand
D (DM7) E G
Cursed your God below for what he'd done
D (DM7) E G
Before you sucked a bullet from your father's gun
A G (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your life
[Verse 8]
D (DM7) E G
At your funeral she took my hand
D (DM7) E G
Placed it on the baby in your lap
D (DM7) E G
I've been trying my best to find my peace
D (DM7) E G
But they both look like criminals to me
A G (riff*)
There's nothing worse than trusting a lie
[Bridge]
Bm A G D
When I dream I see your body inside hers
Bm A G D
When I wake I see your face but call it off
G A Bm D G A Bm A
The less you care for it, the less it has to grow
G A Bm D G A D
I can't abandon it and watch it turn to smoke
[Outro]
D (DM7) E G
Recently I'm working on myself
D (DM7) E G
Starting to convince myself it helps
A G (riff*)
There's nothing wrong with being alive
