etc.
Listen to the song to get a better feel for it!
[Intro]
GD/AG/BGD/AG/BGD/A
Well, I hoped I'd recognize your face
G/BG
So I got there early found a parking space
D/AG/B
And sat in my car like I was casing the place
GD/A
I thought it's not too late, I could cut you loose
G/BG
I could go home now, offer some excuse
D/AG/B
Then the door opened and there was no mistaking you
GD/AG/B
You said, "Come in
GD/AG/B
Take your shoes off and come in"
GD/A
Poured the drinks, exchanged prerequisites
G/BG
"I am good," you said, "but the world is shit
D/A
So what? We're old men now?"
G/BG
Then I laughed, "No, you're right. It is
D/AG/B
This time, well, it really is."
GD/A
"Yeah, we let it get away," you said
G/BG
Like the falconer from the poem you read
D/AG/B
I just shook my head, feels like waiting around
GD/AG/B
For the Second Coming
GD/AG/B
Except nobody's coming
GD/A
And the talk turned over to life before
G/BG
To the kindness of strangers and their kitchen floors
D/AG/B
How the pain grows sweet and the blood dries burnt orange
GD/A
The green rooms and the tortilla chips
G/BG
All the couches caked in ejaculate
D/A
How I cringed when you said
G/BG
"At least someone is getting it"
D/AG/B
Coming
GD/AG/B
At the same time coming
GD/AG/BGD/A
And the drinks grew low and your eyes grew dim
G/BG
Like the curtain was pulled so no light gets in
D/AG/B
You said, "I'm fine alone, but it's good to see you, man
GD/A
I feel cut off from all I have been
G/BG
But am I the stump or am I the limb?"
D/AG/B
I was eyeing the door and you noticed it
GD/AG/B
I said, "I have to be running"
GD/AG/B
Late for dinner or something
GD/AG/B
And you thanked me for coming
GD/AG/BGD/AG/BGD/AG/BGD/A
And the next I saw you was a hospital bed
G/BG
With a gunshot wound, nurses shaved your head
D/AG/B
You were lucky maybe, maybe the opposite
GD/A
And I was awkward and you were a wreck
G/BG
You were muttering something underneath your breath
D/AG/B
And then I lost my cool, called you an idiot
GD
And you said I was such a hypocrite
G/BG
Someone had to die before I gave a shit
D/A
I said, "You’re right, but still
G/B
If I'm in it, you’re in it"
GD/AG/B
And the tears started coming
GD/AG/B
And they wouldn’t stop coming
GD/AG/B
Cleansing all our resentments
GD/AG/B
As if we could go on living
GD/AG/B
As if we could go on
GD
Don't ever wonder why
GD
Everybody wants to die from time to time
GD
It's better not to ask
EmBm
Don't shake the nest, don't speak the lie
GD
Because it's always been agreed
GD
Through some ancient alchemy
GDEm
That the public secret, it secretes that life is worth living
Bm
And it has to be
