Intro
D#m B G#m F# C#
[Verse]
A#m
As the months move on, we hardly speak
B G#m D#m
Your hair turns to grey and that heart's growing tired and weak
C#
I shoveled the dirt and made a grave for you to sleep in
F# B D#m
Because you're dead to me
C# B
so take your last breath
D#m A#m C#
From the second I awoke to the earth, I was destined to grow without you and suffer
B G#m B
Selfish, reckless and a fiend, you chose that bastard over your family
[Chorus]
B
How can we hope to pick up all the pieces
D#m C#
When you're destroying the ground we stand on
B
The drugs that you crave put holes in your brain
F# C#
and paved the path for the life you hate
B
God damn you for leaving when we needed you
D#m
Hell bent on saving only yourself but that crippling defeat
F# C#
and the cancer you breathe, it finally caught up to you
B G#m D#m
Now it's plain to see I don't need you in the same old way
C# B
I don't need you to be here at all
[Verse 2]
B
B thousand miles away from home
D#m
but you wouldn't really even know
B D#m
Mother, tell me where you've been, 'cause I can't stop this deafening silence
C# A#m B
You don't have the backbone to face the one's you left for your dead
C#
You don't have a backbone
A#m B
This is the last time we'll speak so listen closely
[Chorus]
B
How can we hope to pick up all the pieces
D#m C#
When you're destroying the ground we stand on
B
The drugs that you crave put holes in your brain
F# C#
and paved the path for the life you hate
B
God damn you for leaving when we needed you
D#m
Hell bent on saving only yourself but that crippling defeat
F# C#
and the cancer you breathe, it finally caught up to you
B G#m D#m
Now it's plain to see I don't need you in the same old way
C# F#
I don't need you to be here at all
D#m C#
I don't need you to be here at all
D#m F# C# B F# C#
I tried hard to save you, but you slipped away
B A#m G#m B
I was once your son, now you have no part in what I've become
D#m B G#m B
No forgiveness for the things you say or the choices that took you away
D#m B G#m B D#m
No fighting for a second chance, the earth will turn and you'll be dead
