[Verse 1]
B (BM7) E E
Nothing feels the same since you got home
B (BM7) E E
Someone swapped the pictures on your wall
B (BM7) E E
Photos of evaporated men
B (BM7) E E
Torn up bodies thrown across the sand
F# E (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your arm
[Verse 2]
B (BM7) E E
She's been really great since I got back
B (BM7) E E
I'm afraid she knows I'm off the map
B (BM7) E E
She's been trying to talk inside my mouth
B (BM7) E E
I've been trying to calm my conscious down
F# E (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your spine
B E
N.C.
[Chorus]
G#m F# E B
When I dream I see your dad holding your throat
G#m F# E B
His mouth up to your ear, he's screaming, "I've been shot"
E F# G#m B E F# G#m F#
You bank on a linear life evolved by your command
E F# G#m B E F#
You'll find the painful prize of watching it unhinge
[Verse 3]
B (BM7) E E
You, you took it harder than our friends
B (BM7) E E
I'm afraid you're spiraling again
B (BM7) E E
Ran into your family at the go
B (BM7) E E
Looked like they'd been living with a ghost
F# E (riff*)
There's nothing worse than a poverty line
[Verse 4]
B (BM7) E E
I can hardly look at her that way
B (BM7) E E
Naked bodies haven't looked the same
B (BM7) E E
I can't tell her why she's gotta stop
B (BM7) E E
Too ashamed to open that one knock
F# E (riff*)
There's nothing worse than being intertwined
B E
N.C.
[Chorus]
G#m F# E B
You've been dreaming I'm the dad you never had
G#m F# E B
Having out of body visions of my death
E F# G#m B E F# G#m F#
Bank on a catered life that bends for your demands
E F# G#m B E F#
Expect the painful prize of watching it unhinge
[Verse 5]
B (BM7) E E
I remember back when we were kids
B (BM7) E E
Life without a paralyzing mid
B (BM7) E E
Now we get together in a glass
B (BM7) E E
Hardly speak to watch the silence pass
F# E (riff*)
There's nothing worse than silent alarm
[Verse 6]
B (BM7) E E
We were trying awkwardly to sleep
B (BM7) E E
Detailed out your plan on my machine
B (BM7) E E
They still astounded in the dark
B (BM7) E E
Shocked that it had finally fallen apart
F# E (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your mind
B E
N.C.
[Chorus]
G#m F# E B
I've been dreaming of this unrelenting love
G#m F# E B
Depreciated gasping towards a new unknown
E F# G#m B E F# G#m F#
It was a trusted ride before the water froze
E F# G#m B E F#
I found the painful prize is rowing it alone
[Verse 7]
B (BM7) E E
Drove out to the desert in your van
B (BM7) E E
Drank some gasoline and made love to your hand
B (BM7) E E
Cursed your God below for what he'd done
B (BM7) E E
Before you sucked a bullet from your father's gun
F# E (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your life
[Verse 8]
B (BM7) E E
At your funeral she took my hand
B (BM7) E E
Placed it on the baby in your lap
B (BM7) E E
I've been trying my best to find my peace
B (BM7) E E
But they both look like criminals to me
F# E (riff*)
There's nothing worse than trusting a lie
[Bridge]
G#m F# E B
When I dream I see your body inside hers
G#m F# E B
When I wake I see your face but call it off
E F# G#m B E F# G#m F#
The less you care for it, the less it has to grow
E F# G#m B E F# B
I can't abandon it and watch it turn to smoke
[Outro]
B (BM7) E E
Recently I'm working on myself
B (BM7) E E
Starting to convince myself it helps
F# E (riff*)
There's nothing wrong with being alive
