A G#m C#m (x2)
[Verse 1]
A G#m
Said, "In truth I don't really want to talk about it"
C#m
Christmas lights dangled sadly from the table in the operating room
A G#m
Last I heard you're an addict about it
C#m
Full of rage and Corona
A
Trying to blow the birthday kid candles out
G#m C#m
Trap doors and the retaliator lead out
A
To the field where our extended family buried their lies
G#m
If you're going, bring some faith and a flashlight
C#m
Follow signs that read
"It's twenty miles before you finally see fire"
(Maybe you're paying too much for your life insurance policy)
[Verse 2]
A G#m
Now there's something to say for the art of confusion
C#m A
I got the courage to enquire where your body traveled all of the time
G#m C#m
"I gotta climb out of this elevator, hadn't moved me once yet
A
Do I expect that it should really start now?"
G#m
The waitress oversees you levitating
C#m A
Couldn't think it to words and watched your body lift up into the sky
G#m
Everyone there was just in awe about it
C#m
Seen a miracle and drank away the thought from our minds
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C#m E
There was you and me
A C#m
And nothing in-between
C#m E
It's right and wrong
A E F#m
Goes on and on and on
[Chorus]
A E
This is the wave that you could never conquer
A E B A
Losing the smallest piece of truth we used to know
C#m
I wasn't prepared to embark with the wolf of the mountain
A E C#m
It wasn't a place that we could call our own
[Verse 3]
A G#m
Now I don't want to seem like it's split at the seams
C#m
See the pain on the wall? See the blood in the street?
A G#m
There is nothing you've got when you die that you keep
C#m
You were all that you were, were you all you could be?
A G#m
In the blink of an eye there's a hole in your belly
C#m
Your body recoils ironically into the family planning aisle
A G#m
I overhear, "I don't know where I'm going
C#m
I'm going anyway
Don't let 'em tell you that I never found..."
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C#m E A C#m
You and me and nothing in-between
C#m E A E F#m
It's right and wrong, goes on and on and on
C#m E A C#m
The truth for me is grasping at the seam
C#m E A E F#m
So truthfully, do you want to die for me?
[Chorus]
A E
This is the wave that you could never conquer
A E B A
Losing the smallest piece of truth we used to know
C#m
I wasn't prepared to embark with the wolf of the mountain
A E C#m
It wasn't a place that we could call our own
