Intro: Em G B7 Em G A

Verse 1:
Em                       G                B7
There was a wanderer who found his way to God
Em                        G                  A
Or maybe it was Lucifer under some false facade
Em
Broken down and tattered
          G                  B7
Compound fractures in his sleeves
Em
Shoe soles nailed together
        G               A
But he never seemed to bleed

Chorus:
Em                 G
With one desperate push
    B7                             Em
His poor diaphragm forced out a plea

Verse 2:
A        Em                         G        B7
He said: One home burned down, one fell apart
Em                           G                  B7
One met a flood, and one was nothing from the start
Em                             G                   B7
Weapons build against me, well they all seem to fail
Em
But weapons built against my home
G               Am
They always will prevail

Pre-chorus:
Em              G         B7          Em
So leave me my liver and leave me my skin
Em            G            B7          Am
Leave me the way all those other homes did
Em              G          B7     Em
But leave me a soul, only by definition
Em     G                  Cmaj7
I don't want to feel anything

Chorus:
   Em          D             G       C
My neurons are snapping like cat gut strings
  Em D        G7 C
A symphony of agony
  Em                     D
I don't wanna hear and I don't wanna sing
  G                       C
I don't wanna breathe incompletely
     Em       D
I am mourning
   G       C
I am morning
             Em
So break me anew

Interlude:

Verse 3:
Asus4      Em
Well, I'll find every sick xxxx I can
     G                   B7
And I'll make them a deal
        Em
With no conscience, I'll make money and
     G                  Am
I'll lie and cheat and steal
         Em
And that money won't bring happiness
    G              B7
But let me ask what does
            Em
'Cause I've found a place, and those sick xxxxx
      G                 Am
Well, they turned it to dust

Chorus:
Em                  G
And if I can't have justice
  B                         Em
I might as well join the unjust

Interlude: Em G B7 Em G A

Verse 4:
Em7
The floorboards smelled like lemonade
    G               B7
Prepared for our arrival
    Em
The air was clean and crisp
             G7       Am
Just like a tonic for survival
         Em
Well, I wrote my name in charcoal
         G                  B7
On the bathhouse where we cried
            Em7
So now I'm broken fundamentally
        G       Am7
And nobody gets why

Pre-chorus:
Em              G              B7           Em
So give me what drugs you got, give me your meds
Em          G          B7       Em
Give me a cocktail to sedate my head
             G          B7      Em
Abandon all hope of my moral salvation
      G       Am              B7
They already took that from me

Chorus:
    Em          D       G         C
The sky was an angel of morning's heat
     Em             D        G     C
With languid, shiny curls of aquamarine
         Em                       D
And when I close my eyes and when I dare to dream
       G                     C
When I think I might shatter completely
      Em              D
I can feel them in my hands
      C
But I can't go back again
   Em          D             G       C
My neurons are snapping like cat gut strings
  Em   D       G C
A symphony of agony
  Em                     D
I don't wanna hear and I don't wanna sing
  G                       C
I don't wanna breathe incompletely
     Em       D
I am mourning
   G       C
I am morning
             Em
So break me anew

Interlude:

Outro:
Em                                  G                B
Turns out that the god he found was just a little girl
Em
Sitting on a swingset
G              A
Just a little girl
          Em
She said "Mister, you look tired
        G               B
I will let you go, but first
  Em
I think that what you're asking for
   G      Bm              Em
It just might make things worse"
