Chapter 13: A Hero Appears
by The Lawrence Arms

Am             C
The well went dry
F                 G
My blood thinned out

I scrapped through
Am           C
A thousand layers
          F         G
Of paint-like years
Am            C
The secret's in
F                G
Congested grins sigh
Am              C                F       G
I'm trying to find places to breathe now


C            F
And if this were a book
      C                  F
I'd call this song the final chapter
Am           G
And if you read it
               F
You'd be laughin'
C             G        F
If it could end right now
C          G          F
The last lines would be


Am        C       F
My body jolted in
            G
And out of stolen sound waves
Am           C           F
The world expands or shrinks
         G
On any given Monday
Am         C          F          G
Tuesday evening dyes a room blue
Am         C              F        G
Friday's window has it's own view


C            F
And if this were a book
      C                  F
I'd call this song the final chapter
Am           G
And if you read it
               F
You'd be laughin'
C             G        F
If it could end right now
C          G          F
The last lines would be

Good friend,
G           Am         F              C   G
      Am   F
How loud do you want life to shout her answers in your ear?


Am                C              F
She lights her streaming by on stiff necks
Am            C              F
Connected prayers used to sign off things
G5       A5
Keep on counting them
C5                    G5
Or maybe hold your breath
G5             A5         C5
I'm trying to exhale you softly
G5           A5
Don't be so vein
C5
I'm not impressed in past-tense
G5   A5       C5
I don't do impressions


C      G        F
The blood has dried (Good friend, how loud do)
C          G                   F
Now I can wash my hands with tears you cried (Want life to shout her)
C            G             F
If you could frame this feeling (Good friend, how loud do)
C    G                F
At night it would whisper to me
C
Good friend,
G           Am         F              C   G
      Am   F
How loud do you want life to shout her answers in your ear? [2x]
