              G (320003@1)    C (x32010@1)         D (xx0232@1)           EmSo (022000@1)here's the note I left by the fireplace and ash
             C (x32010@1)                                DFrom (xx0232@1)all the notes that I had burned not long ago.
               G (320003@1)  C (x32010@1)           D (xx0232@1)                  EmIt's (022000@1)great how severing all these ties can make things right,
      C (x32010@1)                                     DOr (xx0232@1)at least less wrong than they ever were before.

               G (320003@1)      C (x32010@1)         D (xx0232@1)                EmThose (022000@1)days I'd sit, pensive, by the window and I could taste
            C (x32010@1)                          DThe (xx0232@1)awful flavor of nostalgia mixed with hurt.
           G (320003@1)                CBut (x32010@1)now my mouth, my mouth is dry.
           D (xx0232@1)                     EmI (022000@1)choke on logic and my tongue is tied
                  C (x32010@1)                             DFrom (xx0232@1)reciting inspired bible verses and bullshit lies.

      Em (022000@1)                       
They say that this world is a wide open road
     G (320003@1)         D (xx0232@1)        EmAnd (022000@1)we're stuck holding the wheel,
       C (x32010@1)                                               DBut (xx0232@1)in one hand's a whiskey and the other's too drunk to steer,
                       G (320003@1)    
So where do we go from here?

              G (320003@1)                         CI (x32010@1)dance and I pray, I dance and pray for rain
             D (xx0232@1)              EmTo (022000@1)wipe this earth out once again!-
                  C (x32010@1)                           DAnd (xx0232@1)extend those forty days and nights indefinitely.
             G (320003@1)   C (x32010@1)                  D (xx0232@1)         EmThere'll (022000@1)be tidal waves as all of our problems wash away,
                C (x32010@1)                             DYou (xx0232@1)can here my laughter just before I start to drown.

   EmIf (022000@1)everyone here is a child of God,
         G (320003@1)          D (xx0232@1)     EmThen (022000@1)the world is a pitiless whore
         C (x32010@1)                                                 DAnd (xx0232@1)He's still playing favorites and behind on His child support.
                       GSo (320003@1)where do we go from here now?

Quietly, play each chord only once:
    Em (022000@1)                                  
The noose that we wear doesn't matter at all,
    G (320003@1)    D (xx0232@1)          Em(Unless (022000@1)we kick out our feet)
    C (x32010@1)(begin to build back up...)                 DPerhaps (xx0232@1)our salvation is to know that we're incomplete.


Back at regular volume:
              G (320003@1)                  C (x32010@1)             
So here's the note, the note that counts,
           D (xx0232@1)          EmExplaining (022000@1)why I wanted out.
            CIt (x32010@1)reads in small print:
                                D"I'm (xx0232@1)much to tired to think anymore..."

                       GSo (320003@1)where do we go from here?
