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