Tone: [Em]
#Intro
[Em] [G] [B7] [Em] [G] [A]
#Verse 1
[Em]There was a wanderer who [G]found his way to [B7]God
[Em]Or maybe it was Lucifer un[G]under some false faca[A]facade
[Em]Broken down and tattered
Compound f[G]fractures in his sle[B7]sleeves
[Em]Shoe soles nailed together
But he n[G]never seemed to b[A]bleed
#Chorus
[Em]With one desperate [G]push
His [B7]poor diaphragm forced out a ple[Em]plea
#Interlude
[Em] [G] [B7] [Em] [G] [A]
#Verse 2
[A]He said: [Em]One home burned down, one f[G]fell apart [B7]
[Em]One met a flood, and one was [G]nothing from the st[B7]start
[Em]Weapons build against me, well [G]they all seem to fai[B7]fail
[Em]But weapons built against my home
[G]They always will[Am]will prevail
#Pre-Chorus
[Em]So leave me my l[G]iver and l[B7]eave me my s[Em]kin
[Em]Leave me the w[G]way all those [B7]other homes [Am]did
[Em]But leave me a s[G]oul, only b[B7]y defin[Em]ition
[Em]I don't[G]don't want to feel anyth[Cmaj7]anything
#Chorus
My [Em]neurons are [D]snapping like [G]cat gut [C]strings
A [Em]sym[D]symphony of [G7]ago[C]agony
I [Em]don't wanna hear and I [D]don't wanna sing
I [G]don't wanna breathe inco[C]incompletely
I am [Em]mourning [D]
I a[G]am mornin[C]morning
So break me a[Em]anew
#Interlude
[Em] [D] [G] [B7] [Em] [Em] [G] [B7] [Em] [G] [A]
#Verse 3
[Asus4]Well, I'll [Em]find every sick xxxx I can
And I[G]I'll make them a deal [B7]
With no [Em]conscience, I'll make money and
I'll [G]lie and cheat and s[Am]steal
And that [Em]money won't bring happiness
But [G]let me ask what[B7]what does
'Cause I've [Em]found a place, and those sick xxxxx
Well, [G]they turned it to [Am]dust
#Chorus
[Em]And if I can't have [G]justice
I [B]might as well join the unj[Em]unjust
#Interlude
[Em] [G] [B7] [Em] [G] [A]
#Verse 4
[Em7]The floorboards smelled like lemonade
Prep[G]Prepared for our arr[B7]arrival
The [Em]air was clean and crisp
Just like a t[G7]tonic for [Am]survival
Well, I w[Em]wrote my name in charcoal
On the ba[G]bathhouse where we cr[B7]cried
So now I'm b[Em7]broken fundamentally
And nobo[G]nobody gets [Am7]why
#Pre-Chorus
[Em]So give me what [G]drugs you got, [B7]give me your [Em]meds
[Em]Give me a co[G]cocktail to s[B7]sedate my [Em]head
Abandon all h[G]ope of my m[B7]oral sal[Em]vation
They a[G]already t[Am]took that from me [B7]
#Chorus
The [Em]sky was an a[D]angel of [G]morning's [C]heat
With [Em]languid, shiny [D]curls of [G]aquama[C]aquamarine
And when [Em]I close my eyes and when [D]I dare to dream
When I [G]think I might shatter [C]completely
I can [Em]feel them in my [D]hands
But I [C]can't go back again
My [Em]neurons are [D]snapping like [G]cat gut [C]strings
A [Em]symph[D]ony of a[G]go[C]ny
I [Em]don't wanna hear and I [D]don't wanna sing
I [G]don't wanna breathe inco[C]incompletely
I am [Em]mourning [D]
I a[G]am mornin[C]morning
So break me a[Em]anew
#Interlude
[Em] [D] [G] [B7] [Em] [Em] [G] [B7] [Em] [G] [A]
#Outro
[Em]Turns out that the god he found was [G]just a little gir[B]girl
[Em]Sitting on a swingset
[G]Just a little g[A]girl
She said "[Em]"Mister, you look tired
I will l[G]let you go, but f[B]first
I [Em]think that what you're asking for
It [G]just mi[Bm]might make things [Em]worse"
