D
Madelyn,
F#m
I share your hate for this world we're in
Bm
but it makes me a better man.
G
It's an excuse that you make.
D
Madelyn,
F#m
I know you want to let the bottles in.
Bm
I know you think that they're all your friends.
G
They're lying straight to your face.
Em
and I know
A G
about the devil in your bloodstream.
Em
and I know
A G
that the ghosts still visit nightly.
Em
and I know
A G
it must get lonely by the Chesapeake.
F# Em
D
Madelyn,
F#m
are you really afraid of death
Bm
or do you just say it if
G
it's the right thing to say?
D
Madelyn,
F#m
I know you're safe where you lay your head,
Bm
but if you wanted to come back,
G
I've got a place you could stay.
Em
If I'm not
A
doing right
G
by my family,
Em
then what's
A G
the point of it anyway?
F# Em
Of this anyway?
D
I don't think there's a god.
F#
I don't think that there's someone coming
to save us
B A
and I don't think that's the worst news of
G
the day.
D
I don't think there's a god.
F#
I don't think that there's someone coming to save me
B A
and I don't think that's the worst news of
G
the day.
D
Madelyn,
F#m
I know how your cold scars turn purple.
Bm
I know how the Irish goodbyes feel.
G
I know where you've been
D
and Madelyn,
F#m
you and I got this East Coast blood between us.
Bm
It's bitter and vitriolic.
G
I know how it ends.
Em A G
If I'm not doing right by my family.
Em A G
well, I'm not doing right by family
