Madelyn,
                           F#m
I share your hate for this world we're in 
                  [ch]B#m[/ch]
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.
                              [ch]B#m[/ch]
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
               [ch]B#m[/ch]
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,
               [ch]B#m[/ch]
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.
               [ch]B#m[/ch]
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.
     [ch]B#m[/ch]
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
