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