Tuning: Standard 

        ( Bm )                          ( A )                           
With the door closed, shades drawn, the world shrinks.
         ( D5 ) ( F# )  ( G )        ( A ) 
Let's open up those blinds. But someone has to sweep the floor,
    ( G )           ( F# )          ( A )
pick up her dirty clothes. That job's not mine.
        ( Bm )                    ( A )
Now that everyone's an enemy, my heart sinks.
         ( D5 )  ( F# ) ( G ) 
Let's put away those claws.
          ( A )                                     ( G )            ( F# )
I don't blame them for their curtains-calls because I pulled the rope.
        ( A )
I wanna call them back out for applause.

          ( Bm )                            ( A )
Spring and Thompson on the first of May is horrible.
         ( D5 )( F# )( G )           ( A )   
We hid in catacombs. So now I'm sleeping next to mousetraps,
     ( G )            ( F# )             ( A )
in a bed of all our clothes, while I hope that she won't come home.
       ( Bm )                         ( A )                     ( D5 )( F# )( G ) 
It was easier to lock the doors and kill the phones than to show my skin,
           ( A )                        ( G )              ( F# )
because the hardest thing is never to repent for someone else,
     ( A )            ( Bm )    ( D )    ( Bm )   ( D )   ( Bm )   ( D )    ( A )
it's letting people in.

( Bm )    ( D )    ( Bm )   ( D )   ( Bm )   ( D )    ( A )



             ( Bm )                              ( A )
Well you can come inside, unlock the door, take off your shoes.
               ( D5 ) ( F# ) ( G )
But this might take all night,
   ( A )                                ( G )              ( F# )
to explain to you I would have walked out those sliding doors,
       ( A )
but the timing never seemed right.
         ( Bm )                          ( A ) 
When your helicopter came and tried to lift me out,
          ( D5 ) ( F# )     ( G )
I put its rope around my neck.
         ( A )                              ( G )            ( F# )
And after that you didn't bother with the airlift or the rescue
      ( A )
- you knew just what to expect.


              ( Bm ) 
That with the door closed,
                  ( A )
shades drawn, we're dead enough.
           ( D5 ) ( F# )  ( G )
They don't open from outside.
    ( A )                             ( G )               ( F# ) 
And someone has to speak with their teeth behind their tongue,
         ( A )
to never let that right be denied.
           ( Bm )                      ( A )
We can't rely on photographs and visitation time,
           ( D5 )       ( F# )     ( G )
but I just don't know where to begin.
        ( A )
I wanna bust down the door,
          ( G )          ( F# )
if you're willing to forgive.
            ( A )                     ( Bm )  ( D )  ( Bm )  ( D )  ( Bm )  ( D )   ( A )
I've go the keys, I'm letting people in.

( Bm )  ( D )  ( Bm )  ( D )  ( Bm )  ( D )   ( A )


 ( G )                ( D )
Don't be scared to speak,
       ( A )
don't speak with someone's tooth,
 ( G )                   ( D )
don't bargain when you're weak,
     ( A )
don't take that sharp abuse.
    ( G )               ( D )              ( A )
Some patients can't be saved, but that burden's not on you.


     ( G )       ( D )    ( A )     
Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that. x9
