[Verse 1]
C (CM7) E F
Nothing feels the same since you got home
C (CM7) E F
Someone swapped the pictures on your wall
C (CM7) E F
Photos of evaporated men
C (CM7) E F
Torn up bodies thrown across the sand
G F (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your arm
[Verse 2]
C (CM7) E F
She's been really great since I got back
C (CM7) E F
I'm afraid she knows I'm off the map
C (CM7) E F
She's been trying to talk inside my mouth
C (CM7) 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]
Am G F C
When I dream I see your dad holding your throat
Am G F C
His mouth up to your ear, he's screaming, "I've been shot"
F G Am C F G Am G
You bank on a linear life evolved by your command
F G Am C F G
You'll find the painful prize of watching it unhinge
[Verse 3]
C (CM7) E F
You, you took it harder than our friends
C (CM7) E F
I'm afraid you're spiraling again
C (CM7) E F
Ran into your family at the go
C (CM7) 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 (CM7) E F
I can hardly look at her that way
C (CM7) E F
Naked bodies haven't looked the same
C (CM7) E F
I can't tell her why she's gotta stop
C (CM7) E F
Too ashamed to open that one knock
G F (riff*)
There's nothing worse than being intertwined
C F
N.C.
[Chorus]
Am G F C
You've been dreaming I'm the dad you never had
Am G F C
Having out of body visions of my death
F G Am C F G Am G
Bank on a catered life that bends for your demands
F G Am C F G
Expect the painful prize of watching it unhinge
[Verse 5]
C (CM7) E F
I remember back when we were kids
C (CM7) E F
Life without a paralyzing mid
C (CM7) E F
Now we get together in a glass
C (CM7) E F
Hardly speak to watch the silence pass
G F (riff*)
There's nothing worse than silent alarm
[Verse 6]
C (CM7) E F
We were trying awkwardly to sleep
C (CM7) E F
Detailed out your plan on my machine
C (CM7) E F
They still astounded in the dark
C (CM7) 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]
Am G F C
I've been dreaming of this unrelenting love
Am G F C
Depreciated gasping towards a new unknown
F G Am C F G Am G
It was a trusted ride before the water froze
F G Am C F G
I found the painful prize is rowing it alone
[Verse 7]
C (CM7) E F
Drove out to the desert in your van
C (CM7) E F
Drank some gasoline and made love to your hand
C (CM7) E F
Cursed your God below for what he'd done
C (CM7) 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 (CM7) E F
At your funeral she took my hand
C (CM7) E F
Placed it on the baby in your lap
C (CM7) E F
I've been trying my best to find my peace
C (CM7) E F
But they both look like criminals to me
G F (riff*)
There's nothing worse than trusting a lie
[Bridge]
Am G F C
When I dream I see your body inside hers
Am G F C
When I wake I see your face but call it off
F G Am C F G Am G
The less you care for it, the less it has to grow
F G Am C F G C
I can't abandon it and watch it turn to smoke
[Outro]
C (CM7) E F
Recently I'm working on myself
C (CM7) E F
Starting to convince myself it helps
G F (riff*)
There's nothing wrong with being alive
