Intro
G D C Em D x2
[Verse 1]
G
There is a chest
Of skin, of drawers
D
With pictures of waterspouts
C Em D
Coming out from the ocean and into the mainland
G
Where you once lived
Before
D
When you were younger
Before
C Em D
You learned how to hope, want, or wish
G D C Em D
[Verse 2]
G D
Your step became unsteady once
Even more
C Em
Every time you would stand on shrapnel
D G
Under your feet
D
There was a growth under your skin
An addition of pride
C Em D
For your newfound wasteland
[Verse 3]
G
D
But even worse
C
The future you see
The future you bring
Em D G
The future you are completely okay with
I could wait up sick
D
Waiting for a response
C
I could wait up, waiting for anything
Em D
And it’s something that you’re completely okay with
[Chorus 1]
G
D C
You've been standing outside of my apartment
Em D G
With your mouth open wide, and I haven't heard enough of it
D C
You've been standing outside of my apartment
Em D G
With your mouth open wide, and I haven't heard enough of it
[Verse 4]
D
Tell me, tell me, Miranda
C
Where do you see yourself tomorrow?
Do you worry each Wednesday
Em D
When the week is almost over
G
Where you will sleep
D
Where you will sleep
C
Your sanctuary is Missouri in May
Em D
And I still insist on cutting my tongue off
[Chorus 2]
G
D C
You've been standing outside of my apartment
Em D G
With your mouth open wide, and I haven't heard enough of it
D C
You've been standing outside of my apartment
Em D G
With your mouth open wide, and I haven't heard enough of it
[Verse 5]
D
I will not speak of the crash
C
Cause if it is never spoken of
Em D
Then history will never know it happened
G
If it is never written about
D
Then no one can ever read it
C
If it is never talked about
Em D
Then no one can ever hear it
G
Then no one can ever hear it
D C Em D
Then no one can ever hear it
[Verse 6]
G D
Do we know the truths of every broken step?
C
Only if it's told
Em
Forgotten when it's old
D G
Undesired and cold
D C Em D
There is no story to be told
[Bridge]
G D C Em D
We'll say (repeated)
[Instrumental]
G D C Em D
G
[Coda/verse 7]
We'll say
D
We'll meet up in some hotel room
C
Be it fancy or pay by the hour
Em D
And we'll comfort each other
G
Like we used to in our time
D
You'll say it'll be just like the old days
C
But it won't be the fucking old days
Em D
No it won't be the fucking old days
G
Only now with our broken parts
D C
Our overused and torn up pieces
Em
Will it be better than before?
D G
Will it be better than before?
D
Do we thank our practice with others
C
Or will it be tarnished by exact thought?
Em D
Will it be better than before?
G
Will it be better than before?
D C Em D
Will it be better than before?
D
