Verse: Bb F The air begins to feel a little thin Dm C As I start the car and then I begin Bb F To add the miles piled up behind me Dm C I barely feel a smile deep inside me Bb F And I begin to envy the headlights driving south Dm C I want to crack the door so I can just fall out Bb F But then I remember when you packed my car Dm C You reached in the back and bucked up your heart Bb F Dm C For me to drive away with Chorus: Bb F Dm I began to understand C Bb Why God died Interlude (x2): Bb F Dm C Verse: Bb F The demon sat there waiting on her porch Dm C It was a little dark so we held a makeshift torch Bb F And when my car was far out of sight Dm C He crept in her room and stayed there for the night Bb And then I felt chills in my bones F The breath I saw was not my own Dm I knew my skin that wrapped my frame C Wasn't made to play this game Bb And then I saw Him, torch in hand F He laid it out, what he had planned Dm And then I said, I'll take the grave C Please, just send them all my way Interlude (x2): Bb F Dm C Chorus: Bb F Dm I began to understand C Why God died Interlude (x2): Bb F Dm C Outro: Bb F The air begins to feel a little thin Dm C As we're waiting for the morning to begin Bb F But for now you told me to hold this jar Dm And when I looked inside, I saw C It held your heart Bb F Dm C For me to walk away with Bb F Dm I began to understand C Why God died Outro: Bb F This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

ive got a jar of dirt!
Dude, Jumpsuit has a car, and Nico and The Niners has a torch, you know what’s next.
I’m sorry but when it gets to the lyric: “But for now you told me to hold this jar and when I looked inside, I saw It held your heart”
I cant not think of pirates of the Caribbean I got a jar of dirt…
Yeah so this song is abt his faith kinda through the POV of Jesus
Just go check the genius lyrics
Here’s my theory: CTD is the lead up to HeavyDirtySoul then comes Jumpsuit and such. They talk about Tyler being shipped of (as bait for Josh) in a car then he saw someone elses breath and him, which we can all assume is Josh. Jenna is the her who packs up the heart and she has escaped to the Banditos, she is the one who shaved Ty’s head

SAI IS PROPAGANDA
It’s actually goes Bb, F, Dm and then Csus4. I can hear it from the piano. To do the Csus4 shape, just do your C and then add a finger to the first fret of the 2nd lower string.
Hai yeah that’s what I was thinking, but to play forest, I put a capo on the third fret
Legit same chords as forest…
+2 is much better to play in. It sounds better and it’s easier to play!
