[Verse 1]
A (AM7) E D
Nothing feels the same since you got home
A (AM7) E D
Someone swapped the pictures on your wall
A (AM7) E D
Photos of evaporated men
A (AM7) E D
Torn up bodies thrown across the sand
E D (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your arm
[Verse 2]
A (AM7) E D
She's been really great since I got back
A (AM7) E D
I'm afraid she knows I'm off the map
A (AM7) E D
She's been trying to talk inside my mouth
A (AM7) E D
I've been trying to calm my conscious down
E D (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your spine
A D
N.C.
[Chorus]
F#m E D A
When I dream I see your dad holding your throat
F#m E D A
His mouth up to your ear, he's screaming, "I've been shot"
D E F#m A D E F#m E
You bank on a linear life evolved by your command
D E F#m A D E
You'll find the painful prize of watching it unhinge
[Verse 3]
A (AM7) E D
You, you took it harder than our friends
A (AM7) E D
I'm afraid you're spiraling again
A (AM7) E D
Ran into your family at the go
A (AM7) E D
Looked like they'd been living with a ghost
E D (riff*)
There's nothing worse than a poverty line
[Verse 4]
A (AM7) E D
I can hardly look at her that way
A (AM7) E D
Naked bodies haven't looked the same
A (AM7) E D
I can't tell her why she's gotta stop
A (AM7) E D
Too ashamed to open that one knock
E D (riff*)
There's nothing worse than being intertwined
A D
N.C.
[Chorus]
F#m E D A
You've been dreaming I'm the dad you never had
F#m E D A
Having out of body visions of my death
D E F#m A D E F#m E
Bank on a catered life that bends for your demands
D E F#m A D E
Expect the painful prize of watching it unhinge
[Verse 5]
A (AM7) E D
I remember back when we were kids
A (AM7) E D
Life without a paralyzing mid
A (AM7) E D
Now we get together in a glass
A (AM7) E D
Hardly speak to watch the silence pass
E D (riff*)
There's nothing worse than silent alarm
[Verse 6]
A (AM7) E D
We were trying awkwardly to sleep
A (AM7) E D
Detailed out your plan on my machine
A (AM7) E D
They still astounded in the dark
A (AM7) E D
Shocked that it had finally fallen apart
E D (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your mind
A D
N.C.
[Chorus]
F#m E D A
I've been dreaming of this unrelenting love
F#m E D A
Depreciated gasping towards a new unknown
D E F#m A D E F#m E
It was a trusted ride before the water froze
D E F#m A D E
I found the painful prize is rowing it alone
[Verse 7]
A (AM7) E D
Drove out to the desert in your van
A (AM7) E D
Drank some gasoline and made love to your hand
A (AM7) E D
Cursed your God below for what he'd done
A (AM7) E D
Before you sucked a bullet from your father's gun
E D (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your life
[Verse 8]
A (AM7) E D
At your funeral she took my hand
A (AM7) E D
Placed it on the baby in your lap
A (AM7) E D
I've been trying my best to find my peace
A (AM7) E D
But they both look like criminals to me
E D (riff*)
There's nothing worse than trusting a lie
[Bridge]
F#m E D A
When I dream I see your body inside hers
F#m E D A
When I wake I see your face but call it off
D E F#m A D E F#m E
The less you care for it, the less it has to grow
D E F#m A D E A
I can't abandon it and watch it turn to smoke
[Outro]
A (AM7) E D
Recently I'm working on myself
A (AM7) E D
Starting to convince myself it helps
E D (riff*)
There's nothing wrong with being alive
