These are the remains of you
[Verse 1]
Bm
Ancient, sacred relics of a faith that's dead and gone
Bm
E calf that's found too late and frozen, just outside the barn
E
These are them
Bm
These are them
Bm
The sad and sinkin' feeling on the red-eye into town
Bm
Buckin' off some bull you could have rode when you were young
E
These are them
Bm
These are them
[Chorus]
Bm
And although it brings me pain just to tell you
C#
I've got to say, I'm kind of compelled to
N.C. F#m N.C. Bm
For these are the remains of you
[Verse 2]
Bm
When you can't believe and see you're living under curse
Bm
Tryin' to treat disease to see it only getting worse
E
These are them
Bm
These are them
Bm
Callin' up an old friend to find she'd overdosed last spring
Bm
E man's voice on the phone at your place, six or seven rings
E
These are them
Bm
These are them
[Chorus]
Bm
And although it brings me pain just to tell you
C#
I've got to say, I'm kind of compelled to
N.C. F#m N.C. Fm
For these are the remains of you
[Bridge]
F#m
Freezing drops of rain
F#m
Pelts of otters slain
F#m
Fortunes on the wane
F#m
The vast unbroken plain
F#m
Hatreds bred in haste
F#m
Good men losing face
F#m
Tragedy in space
F#m
Resource gone to waste
F#m
Peaceful culture aging
F#m
Holocaustal rageings
F#m
Defeats that we're still staging
F#m N.C.
In wars that we're still waging
[Outro]
G#m N.C. C#
There's nothing more I can do
N.C. F#m
For these are the remains of you
