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