Tuning: Standard 

        ( B5 )                          ( A5 )                           
With the door closed, shades drawn, the world shrinks.
         ( D5 ) ( F#5 )  ( G5 )        ( A5 ) 
Let's open up those blinds. But someone has to sweep the floor,
    ( G5 )           ( F#5 )          ( A5 )
pick up her dirty clothes. That job's not mine.
        ( B5 )                    ( A5 )
Now that everyone's an enemy, my heart sinks.
         ( D5 )  ( F#5 ) ( G5 ) 
Let's put away those claws.
          ( A5 )                                     ( G5 )            ( F#5 )
I don't blame them for their curtains-calls because I pulled the rope.
        ( A5 )
I wanna call them back out for applause.

          ( B5 )                            ( A5 )
Spring and Thompson on the first of May is horrible.
         ( D5 )( F#5 )( G5 )           ( A5 )   
We hid in catacombs. So now I'm sleeping next to mousetraps,
     ( G5 )            ( F#5 )             ( A5 )
in a bed of all our clothes, while I hope that she won't come home.
       ( B5 )                         ( A5 )                     ( D5 )( F#5 )( G5 ) 
It was easier to lock the doors and kill the phones than to show my skin,
           ( A5 )                        ( G5 )              ( F#5 )
because the hardest thing is never to repent for someone else,
     ( A5 )            ( B5 )    ( D5 )    ( B5 )   ( D5 )   ( B5 )   ( D5 )    ( A5 )
it's letting people in.

             ( B5 )                              ( A5 )
Well you can come inside, unlock the door, take off your shoes.
               ( D5 ) ( F#5 ) ( G5 )
But this might take all night,
   ( A5 )                                ( G5 )              ( F#5 )
to explain to you I would have walked out those sliding doors,
       ( A5 )
but the timing never seemed right.
         ( B5 )                          ( A5 ) 
When your helicopter came and tried to lift me out,
          ( D5 ) ( F#5 )     ( G5 )
I put its rope around my neck.
         ( A5 )                              ( G5 )            ( F#5 )
And after that you didn't bother with the airlift or the rescue
      ( A5 )
- you knew just what to expect.


              ( B5 ) 
That with the door closed,
                  ( A5 )
shades drawn, we're dead enough.
           ( D5 ) ( F#5 )  ( G5 )
They don't open from outside.
    ( A5 )                             ( G5 )               ( F#5 ) 
And someone has to speak with their teeth behind their tongue,
         ( A5 )
to never let that right be denied.
           ( B5 )                      ( A5 )
We can't rely on photographs and visitation time,
           ( D5 )       ( F#5 )     ( G5 )
but I just don't know where to begin.
        ( A5 )
I wanna bust down the door,
          ( G5 )          ( F#5 )
if you're willing to forgive.
            ( A5 )                     ( B5 )  ( D5 )  ( B5 )  ( D5 )  ( B5 )  ( D5 )   ( A5 )
I've go the keys, I'm letting people in.

 ( G5 )                ( D5 )
Don't be scared to speak,
       ( A5 )
don't speak with someone's tooth,
 ( G5 )                   ( D5 )
don't bargain when you're weak,
     ( A5 )
don't take that sharp abuse.
    ( G5 )               ( D5 )              ( A5 )
Some patients can't be saved, but that burden's not on you.


     ( G5 )       ( D5 )    ( A5 )     
Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that. x9
