Intro: G- - B5 - A- x2


Verse 1:
G5                           B5   D5
  Two carpenters of failing worth
G5                            B5
  We found ourselves in disrepair
           D5
But didn't care
G5
  So we took the wood 
              B5
from that old tree
        D5             G5
Built a coffin on the sea
                          B5
Flowers strewn across the deck
             D5                B5
Sails drape around our broken necks


Chorus 1:
B5 G5 D5

    B5                 G5
And I'll (And I'll) be taken 
                D5
apart when it's over


Verse 2:
G5
  Our ruined hands 
           B5  D5
collecting dust
G5
  Uneven loves that drove 
   B5       D5
us into our bodies
G5
  But we found the bricks 
             B5
from our old house
         D5
Tried to put them 
       G5
back together
With no foundation 
     B5
underneath
                  D5
It crumbled right back
to a smoldering heap


Chorus 2:
B5 G5 D5

    B5                    G5
And We'll (And We'll) be taken 
                D5
apart when it's over
      B5
So we gave every flaw in 
    G5                      D5
our crooked construction a name
      B5
And accepted that nothing 
    G5                    D5
was meant to hold up for this long


Interlude: B5 - A5 - G5 - D- x2


Bridge:
     B5
When you felt the 
          A5
sun come alive in your ribs
         G5             D5
You were dying just to try it
       B5
As the sutures and stitches that
A5                       G5
held you together were splitting
       D5
And it made such a glorious sound


Guitar Solo: G--Bm-D- x2


Verse 3:
G5
  You wire strings 
            B5
slowly disappear
                 D5
Well I have been emptied 
         G5
of every fear
The things that we had
            B5
but never replaced
               D5
We're falling asleep and 
forgetting the names


Verse 4:
     B5                  A5
Well I pried myself into pieces and 
               G5        D5
scattered them over the wreckage
    B5
And you were still shaking your 
A5                       G5    D5
head holding on to your nails
    B5                A5
And every splinter of timber like 
          G5                     D5
thunder inside of my shuddering frame
     B5                       A5
Says I'm gonna pay yeah we're all gonna 
              G5               D5
pay when it's over (when it's over)
