    Em             B4       C             Dadd11              A9
His mother came up with such a clever way to save the day with a little white lie
   Em                   B4                C                 Dadd11         A9
He thinks he missed the point back then, but now he's grown to understand it, in a way

The words were not meant to hurt, only destroy you, my stupid son

    Am         B4  C           Dadd11
One person can make a difference, sometimes
     Am                     B4            C     Dadd11
Just turn his head when the kid is still and has a weak neck

Smiled at his funeral, "happy you're dead."

Em        B4              C          Dadd11         A9
All his solutions, it seemed, were only problems in disguise
Em             B4         C          Dadd11    A9
Glueing on his drinkin' face, got ready to erase another day

Mother was yet confident, although they had it tight, taught her son

At the end of every tunnel's a little light
            Am              F               Am              F
It wasn't a lie, it was her hope, that everything would be fine one day

..I hate it and fear can't face it

Go out, create thunder, and stand right under
    F           G            A             [CHANGE CAPO to 5 NOW]
That old apple tree where dead snakes let him feed on those

Somehow, lost one more way back home

Em                             C
Over the hills, under the sea, fighting the will, whole Universe
G              Am               B
Why does a man driving a hearse live in fear, Gift and a Curse
F#m                             D
Taking 'em out, taking 'em all, shooting the wall, over and out
A                   Bm              C#                          F#m
When nothing moves, all's well, a decision he can find a way to live with
                D

And it applies to all things living, and dead
                 Em Bm    C       D        Em   Bm  C  D  A
For that I serve my time... in my suite in Hell
