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