Capo: 3rd fret
G: 320033
C: x32033
D: x00233
Em:022033
Intro:
G C D G
Em C D
(Note: On the transition from the G to the Em, walk the sixth string from 3 to 0)
G C D G
So here''''s the note I left by the fireplace and ash
Em C D
From all the notes that I had burned not long ago.
G C D G
It''''s great how severing all these ties can make things right,
Em C D
Or at least less wrong than they ever were before.
G C D G
Those days I''''d sit, pensive, by the window and I could taste
Em C D
The awful flavor of nostalgia mixed with hurt.
G C
But now my mouth, my mouth is dry.
D G
I choke on logic and my tongue is tied
Em C D
From reciting inspired bible verses and foolish lies.
Em
They say that this world is a wide open road
G D Em
And we''''re stuck holding the wheel,
Em C D
But in one hand''''s a whiskey and the other''''s too drunk to steer,
G
So where do we go from here?
G C D G
Em C D
G C
I dance and I pray, I dance and pray for rain
D G
To wipe this earth out once again!-
Em C D
And extend those forty days and nights indefinitely.
G C D G
There will be tidal waves as all of our problems wash away,
Em C D
You can here my laughter just before I start to drown.
Em
If everyone here is a child of God,
G D Em
Then the world is a pitiless whore
C D
And He''''s still playing favorites and behind on His child support.
G
So where do we go from here now?
G C D G
Em C D
Quietly, play each chord only once:
Em
The noose that we wear doesn''''t matter at all,
G D Em
(Unless we kick out our feet)
C (begin to build back up...) D
Perhaps our salvation is to know that we''''re incomplete.
Back at regular volume:
G C
So here''''s the note, the note that counts,
D G
Explaining why I wanted out.
Em
It reads in small print:
C D
\\"I''''m much to tired to think anymore...\\"
G
So where do we go from here?
Etc.
(Repeat \\"Where do we go from here now?\\" with the occasional vocal riffing til end.)
