[Verse 1]
G   Cadd9   G   Cadd9
G                          Cadd9
  On the train a passenger cursed his name
G          Dsus4               Cadd9
  Asked to leave, gripping the papers he received
         A                         A/B Cadd9
Still he almost felt that he would forgive them
G                               Cadd9
  Angels bled, blissful, blind citizens
G          Dsus4          Cadd9
  Crafting coats fit for abandonment and cold
         A                        A/B Cadd9
And they used to wish that they could forget it
D                                      G              Cadd9
  He was sentenced with no explanation and no jury or trial
D                                   G        D        Em       C
  He’s the scapegoat of imagination and your cruelest denial
D                            G                   Cadd9
  He would have laid down on tracks for you
 
 
G   Dsus4   Cadd9   G5   G52   G54   G5   Cadd9   G   Dsus4   Cadd9
 
[Verse 2]
G                              Cadd9
  The journey ends. He arrives home to them
G                   Dsus4               Cadd9
  Those tracks will always lead to his loved ones and actual friends
         A                        A/B Cadd9
Where he always feels the cleanse of amens
G                     Cadd9
  Blown apart so many times before
G           Dsus4            Cadd9
  Pieces of his heart strewn across the killing floor
           A                 A/B Cadd9
They’re no longer beautiful or adored
D
They would never intentionally hurt you
G                 Cadd9
That is truly a lie
D
The traveler that finds a room for forgiveness
G       D      Em
A courtesy you deny
          C
Imagine that
D                            G                   D#5
  He would have laid down on tracks for you
 
[Verse 3]
E5            D
   And on the masthead
G                      Cadd9
  Well you can go fuck yourself
Em              D
   I replay the scene in my head
G              Am
Over and over, though the cobwebs
C      D                   G      Cadd9
Enough of your conditional love
 
 
G   Dsus4   Cadd9   G5   G52   G54   G5   Cadd9   G   Dsus4   Cadd9
 
[Verse 4]
G5                                Cadd9
  New year’s day marking six months estranged
G             Dsus4                      Cadd9
  He let it slide, a false confession to unknown crimes
       A                       A/B Cadd9
But he dove on that grenade to be saved
D
He will always be there for them, loyal
G                   Cadd9
Through the toil of all these years
D
But you bury your past in the soil
G            D         Em
Like someone who never cared
          G   Em7   A7sus4   C
That´s no way     to       react
D                            G                 Cadd9
  He would have laid down on tracks for you
                           G             Dsus4
He would have laid down on tracks for you
