Slow Suicide
Dsus4
Put the tombstone to your lips
D
Drink the poison sip by sip
Dsus4
Touch the disease with your hips
D
Feel your heartbeat start to skip
Asus4 G D
My slow suicide is your long goodbye
Dsus4
Yes the meat will start to spoil
D
It’s rotting right off the bone
Dsus4
We are born to our mothers
D
But we die like fathers all alone
OUTRO
F and E alternating then back to D
Asus4 G D

What the light divides is connected

All our wounds bleed together

I sleep my sleep, then reject it

Our love is deep. Our grief is deeper.

Shimmering in our dark hour

Do not weep. Do not cry.

Every breath every sound

And when I die all the love

All the love comes around

The Devil Awake
Em A Em A
The devil asleep and the devil awake
Em A Em A
Is the difference between love and fate
D G D G
And I cannot kill what I don’t understand
Em A D G
But the hate in a heart takes the measure of a man
Em A D
The hate in a heart makes the man
A D
The longing of the dry wood
Bm F#m
Is a shadow on the barn
A Em A Em
So stitch some cool rain together
Bm F#m A
Or feed it to the hint of a spark
Em A Em A
And the dead will outnumber me
Em A Em A
Like all the birds above the sea
D G D G
I breathe in their memories
Em A D G
And the all leave their mark on me
Em A D
They all leave a mark

The Worst Of Us All

The Worst Of Us All
Whole song is pattern with D major and the low note dropping from D to E to B
She’d a million dollar smile
In a hundred dollar world
Much too small of town for such a beautiful girl
They found her broken and bleeding
Near the Stanton Mall
A journey of two miles to see the worst of us all
CHORUS
Because the worst of us all could be the life that you make
The wounds that you leave and all the love that you take
It’s hard to know how it got started or when it begun
A grandpa beating up his dad a dad beating his son
So with a heart full of vengeance and a mind to end it all
But first a little lesson in the worst of us all
CHORUS

Now That You Know Me
song mostly drones on D although the guitar goes back and forth between G and D
D G
She will feel her heart is slowing
G D
Down to just one beat
D G
She can feel the numbness spreading
G D
‘Till it’s hard to breathe
D G
And it feels like an anchor
D G
Pulling from the sound
D G
A little bit of bad luck
D G
That follows her around
There was once a small explosion
In the rectory
Brought a rush of such devotion
Few had ever seen
And the sound and the fury
Spread into the night
Leaving a vacuum
Of temporary sight
A G D
Now that you know me well can’t you see?
A G D
Now that you know me well can’t you see?

All The Way Down
01:51
|
|||
If you don’t cry they can’t despise
The only thing that matters
You break the skin, it barely stings
Slowly climb the ladder
All the way down
All the way down
All the way down
You said nothing
Nothing at all
Strong as death go beat your chest
Hiding in the middle
I can’t wait ‘till I can hate
Finally solve the riddle

Fail You
F C F C
I can’t believe what I cannot see
F C F
My grieving heart’s too small to beat
F C F C
My dear be gentle please kiss my cheek
F C F C
With tears whisper goodby to me
Am
Did I fail you?
F C
Did you fail me?
F C G C
I will try to be kind with these memories of mine
There’s a place ‘tween what you see and believe
We built our home between these
I believe that love is doomed right from the start
You believed you could fill my empty heart

Coming Down
G D
Peel the labels from the empties
A D
Put ‘em in a little pile
G D
In the last remaining ashtray
A D
Sending them burning to the sky
Let the smoke mix and mingle
With your tears into the clouds
‘Till the rain taps out the message
You’re a stranger to me know
A D G
Coming down
A D G
Coming down

Coming Down

Whether We Are Mended
A Bm E A
You and your mistakes will meet at the parting waters
D A
Of your body and the congress

And whether we are mended

You and your dreams will form a lattice like clouds
In tears on your face
And whether we are mended
I will breathe the deepest part of you

Like a bird over a mountain pass

You You

I will love the deepest part of you

Lovely
G
You’re a lovely girl
You’re a lovely girl
You can go anywhere that you want in this world
You can be anything, you can take all their worst
You’re a lovely boy
You’re a lovely boy
You can give all your love, you can give all your joy
And you might be a man that no hate could destroy
LOUD PART is D - G
It’s a lovely life
It’s a lovely life
Forget all the cancer forget all the strife
Forget how you’re lonely forget how you cry
D G
It’s all so simple
Just like a song
Just give your love
That’s all they want…..
