[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
